Hi I was standing in the yard next to the only plant in the yard, a red hibiscus potted plant, and a humming bird flew over and started feeding on the blooms. Got out our feeders and shepherd's hook and set it up right next to the potted plant. Within an hour we saw birds feeding from the feeder. After two weeks they are coming by every few minutes and have even had a couple of them fighting over the feeder. We use a mixture of 1 cup of water to 1/4 cup of sugar. Good luck they are fun to watch.
