🎡 The Best Hummingbird Swings (Yes, They Use Them!)

When I first heard about “hummingbird swings,” I laughed. Birds don’t swing.

I was wrong.

Hummingbirds are extremely territorial. They spend 80% of their time perching on a high branch, guarding their feeder. A swing provides the perfect, unobstructed lookout tower.

If you place one correctly, they will claim it as their throne.

📍 Where to Hang It

This is the secret. You can’t just hang it anywhere.

The Spot: Hang it eye-level with the feeder, about 1 foot away.
Why: They want to sit right next to their food source to chase away rivals.
