To my neighbors who put out hummingbird feeders yet trap and relocate or even possibly kill squirrels, chipmunks and wild rabbits:
I love to break it to you, so basically you're doing everything wrong and I hate you. Those guys mow your lawn and poop and fertilize everything around them. Rabbit poop is said to be an excellent fertilizer. Without those creatures you deem nuisances, your gardens won't do as well and neither will your flowers. If your gardens and flowers aren't diverse and fertilized, you're not going to get hummingbirds en masse. You're the reason why we have such a lack of biodiversity in our neighborhood. If you're unhappy that all we have is grackles and blackbirds and sparrows then look at yourself and you'll find the problem very quickly. There's nothing wrong with those guys, but if you want more variety you need to provide variety to sustain them. You need multiple being on every level to support an ecosystem where they can find what they need to thrive.
