1: Mistake 1: Not Providing Enough Food Be sure to have plenty of nectar feeders and flowering plants available for hummingbirds to fuel up for their migration journey.

2: Mistake 2: Using Red Dye in Nectar Avoid using red dye in nectar as it can be harmful to hummingbirds. Stick to a simple solution of sugar and water.

3: Mistake 3: Placing Feeders in Direct Sunlight Place your feeders in shaded areas to prevent the nectar from spoiling too quickly and potentially harming the hummingbirds.

4: Mistake 4: Not Cleaning Feeders Regularly Regularly clean your feeders to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, which can be harmful to hummingbirds.

5: Mistake 5: Using Pesticides Near Feeders Avoid using pesticides near your feeders as they can be toxic to hummingbirds. Opt for natural pest control methods instead.

6: Mistake 6: Not Providing Enough Resting Spots Offer a variety of perches and resting spots for hummingbirds to take breaks during their migration journey.

7: Mistake 7: Filling Feeders Too Full Only fill your feeders with enough nectar to last a few days to prevent it from spoiling and potentially harming the hummingbirds.

8: Mistake 8: Leaving Out Feeders Too Late Make sure to keep your feeders out until late fall to help late-migrating hummingbirds fuel up for their journey.

9: Mistake 9: Not Monitoring Hummingbird Behavior Pay attention to the behavior of the hummingbirds visiting your feeders and make adjustments as needed to ensure their safety and well-being during migration.
