The Hummingbird has to be one of the most fascinating creatures that visit here. They are perfect little machines that sound like a swarm of Bees as they fly by. We put up this feeder this year and 10 minutes after we hung it up we had Ruby Throated Hummingbirds feeding. We use a sugar-water mix of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water, Bring to a boil and let cool. We then bottle it and store in the fridge. Clean the feeders AT LEAST once a week. We avoid the store bought mixes because I have heard that the red dye they use could be harmful to their Kidneys. And never use Honey.
