    Clean out the inside of a wine bottle that features a 3/4-inch or smaller opening.

    Fill the empty wine bottle with store-bought hummingbird nectar.


    Insert a hummingbird feeder tube into the wine bottleā€™s opening. These plastic tubes are available in home improvement and gardening centers. Shove the end that resembles a cork into the wine bottle, and leave the cover over the other end for now.

    Wrap heavy-duty craft wire around the bottle. Starting at the point just below the bottleā€™s lip, wrap the craft wire around the neck at least three to four times. Continue to wrap the bottle with the wire until you reach the bottom. Leave an additional 2 to 3 feet of slack, which you'll use to create a hanger for the bottle.

    Bend the end of the wire into a hangar or loop. Secure the hangar or loop over a tree branch or shepherd's hook. Uncover the feeding tube, and watch for hummingbirds.

    Thanks for your help! I plan to try this since my hummingbirds will be returning soon!
