Hummingbird Feeders~
There are lots of commercial hummingbird food mixtures available but these arent' good mixtures for your tiny beauty's. In my opinion, they have artificial chemical & preservatives but it is really up to you!
Here is my Hummingbird Nectar
4 to 5 parts water
1 part white sugar - note parts means 1 cup
1 - teaspoon of pure orange Extract - This is what make my Nectar special!
Mix 1 cup of white granulated sugar to 4 cups of water, then put the temp to either med/high on the top of the stove.
When the solution starts to boil, stir until the white granulated sugar has dissolved. Once this has happened you will want to take it off the burner, and let cool.Once the solution is cool, you can then put in clean plastic containers filled with your own special nectar. Keep the extra Nectar in the refrigerator.
It is important to only use white sugar - do not use honey or artificial sugars it could sicken or possibly harm your hummingbirds seriously. As far as the RED food coloring to add in your home made nectar well, I think that is a personal thing. I myself do add a little of the red food coloring in my nectar..And I have been for about 5 to 6 years.
I have noticed that in the winter months when my hummers do stay here in Washington state. It snows here sometimes and gets down to the lows 20's . So what I fine that helps with the feeders is using old socks to cover the e feeders. And with the larger one's I use a old scarf.
