WARNING ABOUT BLACK MOLD ON HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS

Black mold is deadly to hummingbirds and can grow quickly inside feeders during hot weather. You may have seen it around the openings where the birds drink. Some bird lovers have been heartbroken to see their beloved birds die due to feeder negligence.

To keep your little birdies safe, you need to maintain your feeder. We recommend a 1 hour vinegar soak overnight. Use 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar and let it soak for a few hours before rinsing very well.

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
