Between five and six feet. You can use a shepherd's hook available at major box retailers, to hang it at an optimal viewing height and to also keep it away from cats and other potential predators.

Were does hummingbirds find there food?
Hummingbirds live on the edge of survival have an extremely fast metabolism and need all day long to stay alive. They eat the nectar from flowers that have co-evolved with them and from the hummingbird feeders we supply. Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but very keen vision are attracted to brightly colored flowers because these are the flowers that have co-evolved with them and have the high nectar they need. Also, hummingbird feeders are usually red to attract them as they travel on their migrations. People also hang red ribbons on their feeders to initially attract the birds. Hummingbirds are very smart.They have the largest brain of any bird when you consider size. So they remember and return to the same feeders each year. Hummingbirds also eat insects for protein.

What do hummingbirds mean to christians?
Easter, traditions, and the Hummingbird. To Christians, the hummingbird is sometimes a symbol of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This dates back to a legend of the natives up in the high Andes of South America. It started because of a natural adaptation of Torpor. These people first witnessed the hummingbird go into it's hibernation-like state appearing to die. Then, watching it return to life, it must have seemed like a miracle such as the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. So today, the hummingbird is still considered to be symbol for Easter and the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Why does a hummingbird need Torpor you might ask. The hummingbird has an extremely fast metabolism due to it's size.The bird lives on the edge of survival. So Torpor allows the hummingbird to save it's energy and stay warm on cold nights. It is also very useful for periods of low food supply. We do know that a hummingbird need to eat twice it's weight in nectar each day. So with the use of Torpor the hummingbird will not starve. This information is useful because sometimes people see hummingbirds in this death-like state and believe a rescue is necessary. The bird will come out of Torpor on it's own. We always see the hummingbird in the springtime around the Easter Holiday. So now we have another good reason to enjoy the bird along with our traditions.
What are some hummingbird adaptations?
Adaptation of hummingbirds include:A long bill, which enables them to feed on nectar deep down in cupped flowersThe lower part of the hummingbird's bill is flexible, actually widening and bending downwards when the hummingbird opens its mouth: this allows it to capture insects in mid-flightAn extra-long tongue lined with hairs which enable them to extract the nectar from the flowersBecause hummingbirds are constantly on the move, they need stronger muscle fibres: their pectoral muscles are made up of almost 100% Type 1 muscle fibres which are better for the bird's enduranceHummingbirds can beat their wings at amazing speeds: the largest (Giant hummingbird) beats its wings 8 to 10 times per second while the smallest can beat as much as 100 times per second for short bursts. This enables the hummingbird to hover, giving them amazing manoeuverability.When environmental conditions change, such as temperatures dropping very low or food supply being limited, hummingbirds go into a state known as 'torpor', which is, in effect, hummingbird hibernation.

Are bird feeders good for the environment?
Bird feeders can attract a wide variety of birds to your yard and provide extra food for birds when natural resources are low. However, putting out feeders requires responsibility:Bird feeders and areas around feeders must be kept clean or they can cause spread of diseases. Cleaning and disinfecting (with bleach solution 1 part bleach to 9 parts water) should be done monthly. Old seed and waste matter on or under the feeder must removed.Feeders should be attached to windows or placed more than 30 feet from windows so when birds are frightened they have a chance to avoid the glass.If you notice a natural predator such as a Cooper's Hawk hanging around, remove the feeder for a few weeks. The predator will move on.Outdoor cats are a major problem, killing millions of wild birds annually. If you have outdoor cats, especially feral cats, in your neighborhood, then you should not put out bird feeders or hang them high out of reach of cats. Some people put no climb fences around their feeders.Most Birds visit feeders to supplement their diets and do not become completely dependent on feeders because they require a variety of foods to meet their dietary needs. However, if you keep feeders going through winter, do not cease filling feeders mid winter or during harsh weather as birds that are in the "habit" of visiting feeders, will have an easier time finding food.
