I also planted for all three but I feel the birds are feeding on all the cats and stopping the hummer (I'd only 1 frequent visitor) from coming back. I've one robin and 1 cardinal nest and possibly a catbird nest also. You will also find wrens and doves as standard guests towards the backyard garden. I absolutely don't want to discourage the birds so I presume I just have to simply accept the balance of birds in excess of hummers and butterflies?
