Perky-Pet® Rocks the 2010 Rockport Hummingbird Festival

Every fall hummingbird enthusiasts gather in the coastal Texas towns of Rockport and Fulton to celebrate the hummingbird migration of the Ruby-Throat Hummingbirds. Ruby-Throats aren't the only ones – other species have been spotted as well and include Rufous, Black-chinned, Buff-bellied and Allen's.

The event, one of the largest in the U.S., offers a little bit of something for all ages. Over the long weekend there are daily keynote speakers discussing not only hummingbirds, but other types of birds, butterflies, and so on. Bus and boat birding trips, hummingbird trips, and self-guided hummingbird home tours are offered.

If you've never witnessed hummingbird banding it's a spectacular experience – one not to be missed! This activity is also available at the event. In addition, there is plenty of time to do some shopping at the hummingbird mall, which holds over 80 exhibitors selling bird-related products and offering educational materials as well.

And that's not all… there are many other activities offered – perfect for bird lovers.

Perky-Pet® has sponsored the event for the past two years and take it from us – it is well worth it!
