HUMMINGBIRD FOOD



Hummingbird Food image

This is such an easy recipe. I don't add any food color to this as I've heard it's not good for the little birds. Do not use honey or other types of sugar, the birds cannot digest them. Also if you have trouble with ants you can now get a little item that has ant repellent in it that doesn't harm the birds. I have one on my hummer feeder.

Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 cups filtered water
1 cup regular white sugar (Organic if possible)

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil.
  • Take the water off the heat and add the sugar.
  • Stir to dissolve completely.
  • Let the nectar cool.
  • Place in a clean hummingbird feeder and hang outside for the birds.
  • Note:.
  • Change the food at least every three to five days with a new batch to keep it fresh. Remember don't use food coloring.
  • Check the bird feeder regularly and every time you change the food to see if any gray mold has formed inside the feeder base, or, any ants have crawled inside to get at the sugar water.
  • If you see any take the feeder down and throw the bird food away. It's not good for the birds to drink this. Chances are they won't drink it anyway.
  • Clean the hummingbird feeder by rinsing with warm water. Then, put a few drops of bleach into the water inside the feeder and clean with a bottle brush.
  • Once clean, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and let dry.
  • Fill up with new food and place outside.
  • The birds will love you for it!
