We recommend you feed your hummingbirds, Terrie. Make sure to keep the feeders clean. Ash makes a good point of cleaning with soap and water, then disinfecting with a diluted bleach/water solution. Rinse well. Hummingbirds and other songbirds might carry the virus but they don't appear to be susceptible to it like chickens and waterfowl. Thanks for asking :)

Wash your birds feeder with soap and water regularly and disinfect with diluted bleach. Plus keep an eye on the birds who frequent the feeder looking for signs of disease. Basic precautions like that should be more than enough for the moment.
