How To Create Your Own Humming Bird Nectar...
Hummingbirds feed off of plants and a few insects, but because of the speed which their wings flutter when theyre in flight, they tend to burn a heck of a lot of energy. They need to eat about every 15 minutes!You can help by providing Humming Bird Food, known as Hummingbird Nectar, in your yard or garden. Theres no reason to buy it from the store either, because its just simple sugar and water.And its easy too: 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Thats it.So, if you wanted to make 4 cups of Hummingbird Nectar, youd first boil 4 cups of water for about 5 minutes. Turn the water off then stir in the sugar. Keep stirring until its completely dissolved.Do not add any coloring, flavoring, powdered drink mixes, honey or otherwise: All of these can be dangerous to the Humming birds.Let the mixture cool fully before putting it out for your Humming birds too, you wouldnt want to accidently hurt them with hot Nectar.Put any remaining nectar in the fridge, it can keep for about two weeks.© 2005, Kathy Burns-Millyard.
