Aussie Finch Forum

I love to attract the beautiful small hummingbirds in my backyard. I am planning to use the hummingbird feeders to attract these birds. But I am also little confuse as there are many finches are also present in my garden. Any one there who can help me? Can I attract the hummingbirds in the presence of finches?

Hi Jimmy,

Unfortunately this forum is mainly about finch keeping and breeding in Australia, so there might not be anyone who can answer your question. However, you asked this question on the American Finch Forum ( https://www.finchforum.com/forum?p=post ... 1326703291 ) and people have answered.

Thanks,
Aidan

If you have flowers or feeders that represent flowers, then the hummingbirds will use them even with native finches in the area. If you have cats, dogs, or raptors (birds of prey) around your house, the hummingbirds will be stressed and while they might come to drink, they won't stick around.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences.
