Concord, NH (MMD Newswire) February 26, 2009 -- Spring brings hummingbirds-and these little birds aren't shy! They'll visit apartment balconies, windowpanes, porches or decks, and backyards big and small. With a simple feeder and a little sugar-water, anyone can enjoy these delightful little jewels.

Our smallest bird, the amazing hummingbird is a joy to watch-they can hover in place, fly up, down, forward and backward, even sideways. And they're one of our most colorful birds, with beautiful iridescent plumage that flashes like gems in the sunlight. Having hummingbirds nearby is a constant source of entertainment!

Feeding and attracting hummingbirds is easy. In the wild, hummingbirds feed on the sugary nectar of flowers, tree sap and small insects. But they also thrive on a mixture of sugar and water, offered in a "nectar" feeder, made to hold the sweet liquid. Duncraft, a leader in wild bird feeding supplies, has the largest selection of hummingbird feeders ever. They offer over 25 feeder styles-beautiful glass and pottery feeders to hang from a branch or bracket, window-style feeders for seeing hummingbirds up close at the window and flower-like feeders to stake in the garden.

Duncraft also offers instant nectars, a hummingbird "house" where hummers can build their nests under an eave, and a cage of cotton fibers for nesting material-everything customers need to get started with hummingbirds.

Shelby Dunn Kimball of Duncraft says, "Our new Ruby Red Hummingbird feeder is pretty and practical. It's all glass and metal, it's easy to fill and it won't drip. And our Hummingbird House is a very unique item-a tiny frame that hummers use to build a nest. It's proven successful with several species of hummingbirds. And we have the largest selection ever of hummingbird feeders and products online-something for everyone. And we've really expanded our butterfly house, bath and butterfly feeder selections, too!"
