Your Hummingbird Garden Is Planted Wrong (3 Fatal Mistakes)

I’m showing why a hummingbird garden can be planted with the best intentions and still become dangerous. Three ordinary decisions—especially around windows, nursery plants, and shelter—can turn a helpful garden into a trap, and two of these mistakes can kill. I’ll explain why hummingbirds live on the edge of habitat, how the window kill zone forms, and why hidden insecticides in some nursery plants may put visiting birds at risk. I’ll also show how to give hummingbirds places to perch and hide, then inspect your garden from a bird’s-eye-level perspective so a temporary stopover can become a safe address. 0:00 Your garden is engineered habitat 1:16 Why hummingbirds live on the edge 2:25 The window kill zone 5:50 Hidden insecticides in nursery plants 8:52 No place to perch or hide 12:46 Turn a stopover into an address 13:34 Inspect your garden at bird height #Hummingbirds #BirdFriendlyGarden #HummingbirdGarden #BackyardBirds #BirdSafety
