February is "Feed the Birds" month in much of North America. And what great timing! If you're going through a cold winter, you can help the wintering birds that are going through it with you. If you live further south, you'll have not only year-round feathered friends to feed, but also an influx of migrating visitors from colder climates.

If you grow native plants in your garden, chances are good you already have quite a few feathered visitors already. If you'd like to supplement that, or if nothing in your garden attracts birds, here are some tips for successful birdfeeder use.

Everyone loves to watch Hummingbirds as they dart among the bright flowers in our gardens. Besides nectar from flowers hummingbirds enjoy eating insects and drinking nectar syrup from Humming bird feeders. With over 18 different species of Hummingbirds in America itself, there is always the chance that you'll see 2 or more types flitting in the flowers.

As Hummingbirds eat more than half their body weight daily having humming bird feeders placed at different spots in your garden can help them in their constant quest for food. There are varieties of Humming bird feeders that you can display in your garden. You can have functional feeders which are only for the purpose of feeding Hummingbirds or you can create a stunning landscape with decorative Humming bird feeders placed in various designs, the choice is yours.
