HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR FEEDING SOLUTION



Hummingbird Nectar Feeding Solution image

I've done some research and believe this to be the most healthy way to prepare the solution. Never use sugar substitute, brown sugar, honey or organic sugar. Some experts believe red food coloring can be harmful to hummingbirds. Since most hummingbird feeders are red or have some red on them, it is not necessary to add food coloring. *Tip - When first attracting hummingbirds, tie a red ribbon on the bottom of your feeder.

From birdwatchinghq.com
  • Do I REALLY just use regular table sugar and water to make hummingbird nectar? Yes! It is that easy! And here’s why: Natural nectar found in flowers is mostly a sucrose solution.
  • Should I boil the water to make hummingbird nectar? Whether you should boil the water when making your homemade nectar is a debated topic. Hummingbird enthusiasts that recommend boiling the water claim that boiling removes any impurities (bacteria, fungus) in the water and helps the nectar last longer.
  • Should I add red dye to hummingbird nectar? Hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, so many people wonder if adding red dye to the nectar will help attract more hummers.
  • Does pre-made hummingbird nectar work better than homemade hummingbird nectar? No. For example, here is a list of ingredients for Kaytee’s “Ready To Use” ElectroNectar, a popular pre-made nectar solution that I have purchased in the past.
  • How long does homemade hummingbird food last? As a general rule, the hotter the weather, the quicker the nectar will ferment and spoil. How long your nectar stays fresh depends on both the weather, the humidity, and if your hummingbird feeder hangs in the shade or sun.
