Butterfly bushes. They come in a variety of colors..mine is dark purple. They're hearty, too. They also attract beautiful butterflies (hence the name).

You can buy hummingbird feeders and liquid to fill them with at a place like Lowe's or even a pet supply store. If you don't want to buy the food premade, mix sugar water with a touch of red food coloring. I live in the South, USA and we have lots of humming birds, they seem to be very attracted to red, thus most feeders as well as the food you buy is red. Get a few, spread them out, Spring is right around the corner. Happy Hummingbird Watching!

Red or Orange, Tube shaped flowers such as Petunias, Monarda(Bee Balm), Trumpet Vine, Honeysuckle. are best to draw Hummingbirds.
You can get them with feeders, but they also like to have some "natural" food such as the flowers I have described.

Get a hummingbird feeder & fill it with the liquid they drink. (no, not beer)...lol...Everything you need should be in & around bird the bird food aisle. (Lowe's, etc)
(Q)Do you know why hummingbirds hum?

I got a hanging plant...not sure what they are called, but the flowers look like mini daffodills that hang upside down...they are a dark pink...i live in an apt complex and rarely saw birds period, let alone humming birds, but shortly after i put this plant out, i had two of them. i have since added a feeder.

Get a humming bird feeder and also they like certain flowers (my mom loves them too and she bases her gardening selections on them)

Very difficult, as they are not indigenous to this country!
I assume, as this is Y!A UK and Ireland, that you hail from these parts?
