Homemade Hummingbird Nectar With Photos
At our house, we love all the birds that frequent our yard and bird feeders. We know the names of some and others I still have to look online to figure out what they are! Of all the birds we see, our favorite is the hummingbird.
We have three feeders that we fill about once or twice a week and the store-bought nectar is expensive! Not to mention it's not healthy for the hummingbirds. So I make my own.
I'll start with the ingredients like I would for a regular recipe:)
Add both ingredients to a pot and mix together. Bring to a boil and stir a couple times until sugar is completely dissolved.
Keep boiling for about 5 minutes then take off the heat and let it cool until it's room temperature. Pour into your hummingbird feeders.
DO NOT ADD FOOD COLORING!!!
I can't stress enough how horrible it is for the birds!
After I put the food out it doesn't take any time for the hummingbirds to show up!
The hummingbirds at our house only have one problem...

Nice post. I love birds.
The only problem is that there no hummingbirds in our country, just plenty of cats.
Thank you:)
