How to listen to find hummingbird babies in your garden.
If you’re wondering where to find find hummingbirds in your garden, start by listening. That’s because their parents make very distinctive sounds. And those noises sound a lot like “zip” and “pop”. Plus, hummingbirds also do some trilling.
In fact, you can listen to hummingbird songs right now in our hummingbird video here.
Moreover, a momma hummingbird often sings to her hummingbird babies resting in their nest. But she’ll be sitting a little away from the nest while singing her hummingbird lullabies.
Meanwhile the nesting babies themselves remain silent to stay safe. However, once they fledge, baby hummingbirds finding their voices as well.
Keep an eye on flying adult birds to find the youngsters.
Male hummingbirds are extra pretty. But, they aren’t likely to show you where to find a nest of babies.
Instead, watch for the females. That’s because female hummingbirds are the nest builders. And they’re the ones that visit and feed the hummingbird babies.
So, if you see her gathering food or nesting materials, watch where she flies. But, don’t expect she’ll go directly to her nest. That’s because, she’ll take an indirect path home so that predators won’t eat her babes.
However, she will eventually make her way back to her babies. And her baby hummingbirds may be tucked into a nest at eye level in a shrub in your garden. Or, she may have them nestled into a branch high above your head.
What to do when you find a hummingbird nest in your garden…
When you find a hummingbird nest in your garden, whatever you do, don’t disturb the little ones. And, be sure to give the baby hummingbirds wide berth. Because if you spook the momma, she will fuss at you. And you may interrupt her care for her babies.
And you really don’t want to harm any baby hummingbirds in your garden.
More importantly, you don’t want to give the spot a lot of attention. Because if you do, you might tell predators exactly where to eat those hummingbird babies.

So sweet. I checked my Rhodie’s after your reading the first part of the story, but no bird nests.
Maybe someday Danita!
Robin, at your suggestion and after attending your Hummingbird presentations (both in person and virtually), I have contracted with In Harmony Landscaping in Bothell. They have been coming for a couple of years and applying liquid seaweed compost and horticulture oils. They have made a huge difference in our landscaping so thank you for the referral. This week they were here, and I expressed concern that by applying their treatments (using pressurized hoses) to our rhodies we could destroy hummingbird nests. So, we didn’t treat the rhodies, but now I realize I may need to hold off with the applications earlier in spring depending on the species. Also, one article I found online said Hummingbirds nest 10′ – 90′ in bushes and trees. I would like to contact In Harmony to discuss their knowledge and protocols too. I would love to hear from you before I do. Thank you again!
Lynne, Thanks for your message. I’m glad to hear your garden is doing well! I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking here, but I *think* you’re asking how high or low hummingbirds build nests. To answer that, I’ve seen nests as low as 3-4′ off the ground. I’ve seen others very high in taller trees. Hopefully, that covers it. If you need to schedule a consult to go deeper, please get in touch via our contact form!
