Abstract
A heater for a hummingbird feeder includes a waterproof heating pad with an adhesive surface for attachment to the bottom of a hummingbird feeder, and a power supply system comprising a weather-resistant transformer and power cable. The power cable may be permanently attached to the heating pad or detachably connected via weather-resistant electrical connectors. The heating pad generates thermal energy to prevent nectar from freezing, allowing hummingbirds to feed in cold weather conditions. The compact, universal design fits any hummingbird feeder model and requires no tools for installation.
