Hummingbirds are naturally attracted to the color red.  That is the reason why most feeders and the liquid are red to begin with.

It was in my friends moms refrigerator. We decided the only reasonable thing to do was try some. It was good.

No wonder Hummingbirds seem so hyper...  They're just sugared up!

  Yes but it can kill the birds your trying to feed if it goes bad,sugar water shouldnt be left out more than 12 hours or you risk causing the birds to die.

  The water should be boiled and the feeder sterilized everytime you set it out.


  I feed hummers,they nest around my yard every year,maybe it's something in the garden that attracts them....  I always use commercial hummingbud feed as it's the safest product for them and I take it down after 24 hours and make another batch and sterilize the feeder.
