Instead
of running out to the store when your hummingbird feeder runs dry, just
use this simple recipe. The supplies you're going to need
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of sugar
small pot
spoon
stove to boil your water
and of course your feeder
directions
add 2 cups of water to your pot and bring to a boil(this gets out any icky stuff that may harm your beautiful visitors)
add 1/2 sugar, stir well until completely dissolved.
remove from heat and let mixture COMPLETELY COOL before moving on to next step
pour your hummingbird food into the feeder,depending on how your feeder is made a funnel may help with this step.
I know some people that use red food coloring before adding
the mixture to their feeder, I've read that it is unhealthy for them as
it makes their eggshells weaker. Whether this is true or not I really
do not know. I quit using the red food coloring and still seem to get
just as many visitors. Just hang your feeder and sit back and wait for
your little beauties to arrive.
