A hummingbird swing is a small perch designed to attract hummingbirds, allowing them to rest between feeding sessions. Since hummingbirds are territorial and often perch nearby to guard their feeding areas, placing a swing near a feeder gives them a convenient resting spot. It also provides a great opportunity for birdwatchers and photographers to observe them up close.
Durable metal swing, weather-resistant, and can withstand outdoor elements better than wood or plastic.
High-quality metal swing with a protective coating to prevent rust and corrosion.
Easy to hang from a tree branch, shepherd’s hook, or near a feeder.
Place the swing about 12–24 inches from a hummingbird feeder - hummingbirds like to perch nearby to rest and guard their feeding spot.
While some sunlight is fine, a spot with partial shade helps keep the swing cool and comfortable for the birds.
Position the swing in a location sheltered from heavy winds to keep it stable and inviting.
Hummingbirds prefer areas with nearby trees, shrubs, or vines for safety, so placing the swing near natural cover encourages them to use it.
For the best birdwatching experience, hang the swing where you can easily see it from a window, patio, or favorite sitting area.
If possible, place the swing in a garden with flowers like salvia, trumpet vine, or bee balm to attract more hummingbirds.
