Detailed steps on how to get hummingbirds to nest in your garden:
- First, you’ll need to be gardening in the Americas. That’s because hummingbirds only live in this part of the world.
- Second, grow diverse plantings. That’s so the hummingbirds have access to the right nesting plants. Plus, this way they can forage from plants that bloom in succession instead of all at once.
- Third, lay off the ‘cides and let nature take it’s course. That’s because toxins may negatively impact hummingbirds. Plus, they may kill off important fauna food sources too. And you want to be sure they have food to feed babies, fledglings and to survive all year long in your garden.
- Fourth, be sure your garden offers access to water. That’s because this rounds out the basic tenants of what life needs to survive and thrive.

There’s no reason to purchase a pre-fabricated “hummingbird nest” or nesting house. That’s because hummingbirds build their own nests. Moreover, they don’t nest in bird houses or baskets. So those cute hummingbird houses you might see for sale won’t get used by these birds.
Instead, hummingbirds use natural ingredients they gather from your garden. So, don’t rake and scrape your garden clear of detritus if you want hummingbirds to nest in your garden.
