HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR MAINTENANCE TIPS
Compliments of Hummingbirds Forever

Hummingbirds feed on flower nectar and insects. When making hummingbird nectar, boil the water first, then add your sugar or nectar solution. The boiling water will ensure your nectar stays fresh longer and retards fermentation. Add the sugar to the water after it has boiled. Don't boil the sugar and water together. Doing so will cause some of the water to evaporate and will create nectar that is too concentrated.

A GOOD Hummingbird feeder will have lots of red on it since this is a color hummingbirds are attracted to. Place your feeders in the shade and keep out of direct sun and wind. Be sure to clean your feeders regularly and replace the solution every week. Clean your feeders with hot water or a 10% bleach solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before refilling.

It is extremely important to change your solution more often (every 2-3 days) when the weather is hot or consistently over 60 degrees.
