In Kentucky, it's best to put out hummingbird feeders in mid to late March, as this is when ruby-throated hummingbirds typically begin to return from their winter migration. To ensure the feeders are ready when the birds arrive, it's advisable to have them cleaned and filled with a sugar-water solution (1 part sugar to 4 parts water) before their expected arrival. Keeping the feeders up until mid-October can also help support any late-migrating hummingbirds.
