Build a hummingbird sanctuary
Hang it in the right spot
Hang it 4–6 feet high, with morning sun and afternoon shade, near a tree or shrub for cover. Pick a spot you can see from a window. See the placement guide.
Give them a place to rest
Pop's rule of thumb: hang a hummingbird swing about 1 foot from the feeder, at the same height, so they have a comfortable place to rest beside their food.
Add cover and flowers
Choose a sheltered spot near tall flowering shrubs, so they have somewhere to retreat and natural nectar close by. Pop's wildflower seed mix is an easy start.
Keep the nectar fresh
Change nectar every 2–3 days in normal weather, every 1–2 days when it's 90°F or hotter, and right away if it turns cloudy. Pop's nectar adds calcium and electrolytes.

It started with one swing
Captivated by the mystique and originality of the hummingbird, William “Pops” Sloan began the quest to invite more wonder into the lives of birders everywhere, so everyone could experience the joy and awe of a hummingbird sighting firsthand. Thus, the hummingbird swing was born.
Our mission: Pop's Birding is dedicated to helping people attract, understand, and enjoy hummingbirds through innovative products, practical education, and decades of hands-on experience.

Hummguard® tip questions
The things bird lovers ask us most.
Using Hummguard® tips
What do Hummguard® nectar tips do?
Each tip has a flexible membrane that opens when a hummingbird inserts its beak to feed and closes tight when the beak is removed, creating a barrier bees and other flying insects can't get through.
Which feeder do they fit?
They're made for Pop's AspenPerch® Hummingbird Feeder. Slide them onto the feeding ports on the underside of the cover.
How many tips come in a pack?
Each pack has a ring of 12 Hummguard® nectar tips.
Can hummingbirds still feed with the tips on?
Yes. The membrane opens for a hummingbird's beak, then closes again when the beak is removed.
Bees, wasps & ants
Does the AspenPerch® feeder come with bee guards?
No. AspenPerch® has a built-in ant moat to keep ants out. Bee guards are not built in: if bees or wasps become a problem, add Hummguard® tips to the feeder cover.
How else can I keep bees and wasps away?
Keep the feeder clean and the nectar fresh. Change nectar every 2–3 days in normal weather, every 1–2 days when it's 90°F or hotter, and right away if it turns cloudy. See our guide: how to keep bees away from a hummingbird feeder.
