Return of the Hummers

I love hummingbirds,We are happy to see them return this Spring.

For our hummingbird food recipe,We use our tap water which is supplied from our well.
In the city,you'll have chlorine or fluoride added to your water.Boil the water to flash off the chlorine or fluoride,5 minutes of boiling should be sufficient.

We never add RED COLORING….Our hummingbird feeder is red.Anyway..naturally occurring nectar is clear and odorless.

Here is our hummingbird food recipe:

1 part cane sugar/4 parts water.Measure and add sugar, at the rate of 1/4 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water.Let cool and store excess in refrigerator until ready to use.

You will need to clean your feeder every few days,with hot water and a mild (10%) bleach solution to inhibit bacteria/mold. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with water syrup.See Migration Map for 2009 http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html
