How do you make Hummer Bird Food ? In The Hummer Bird Feeder?

1 part sugar to 4 parts water as some others have already suggested. I like to mix up smaller amounts and change it more often to keep it fresh... rather than filling each feeder up all the way, maybe go half way and then change it out each week or even more often than that.





Simply stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely in the water. There is NO need to boil tap water to kill bacteria- that is a myth. Normal tap water does not have high levels of bacteria unless you've got a major problem with your water. Boiled and Distilled water will also grow mold and bacteria (later as it gets older) that is why it's important to change the nectar regularly. If you want to add red coloring to your nectar that's up to you but I have not found this to be necessary, especially if the feeder already has a lot of red color as an attractant.How do you make Hummer Bird Food ?

Do you mean HUMMINGBIRD nectar?





The easiest way, aside from buying it commercially at a store, is to mix 4 parts sterilized water ( to avoid bacteria from harming them) to 1 part sugar ( eg. 1 cut sugar + 4 cups water) and put it in a cheap hummingbird feeder that you can get at Dollarama for a buck OR make your own by filling a plastic bottle and hanging it upside down with a hole in it - not sure how they do that so the nectar doesn't all spill out at once but you can google it and get directions for building them yourself.





Always be careful to resist the urge to give them too much sugar . . . the sweeter the better right? wrong! too much sugar in a concentrated dosage can shut their kidneys down and kill them. So be responsible and enjoy your hummingbirds!!!How do you make Hummer Bird Food ? In The Hummer Bird Feeder?
1 part sugar to 4 parts water. boil the sugar water until all the sugar is dissolved. let it cool down put it in the feeder and add a couple drops of food coloring and there ya go.
1 quart water + 1 cup sugar. Do not add food color....it's not needed and may be bad for them. Keep one feeder out all winter in case of a stray visitor.
