Humming Bird Feeder Recipe
For a great humming bird feeder recipe try
these easy directions.
Boil 1 cup regular granulated sugar
in 4 cups water til the sugar dissolves. Let it cool and
fill your feeder. Make sure your feeders are clean when you
fill them. Refrigerate any remaining liquid and keep for up to a few
days.
Humming birds need to feed
all day due to their high metabolic rate so they are constantly
looking for insects and nectar. If you grow flowers nearby, you can attract even more hummers with
the flower nectar. They particularly like red flowers and tubular blooms.
They have no sense of smell so the fragrance doesn't
attract them.
Place
several humming bird feeders around so the birds have plenty of places to
feed as they do tend to fight. They can be very aggressive and
nosy and will often fly near people making them
very interesting to study. Hummingbirds are some of the most popular birds to watch mostly
because of their antics. Be sure to place a feeder near a
window so you can watch them from your house.
