You can easily make your own
hummingbird food
recipe using white sugar and water.
There's no need to add red food coloring to the hummingbird food recipe to attract Hummingbirds.
Your red feeder will be enough to attract them. There is also controversy about
whether food coloring might be harmful to the Humming birds, so avoiding it
altogether might be the best choice.
The hummingbird food recipe consists of 1 part
white sugar to 4 parts water. This 1 to 4 ratio will closely match that found in
actual flower nectar.
Start by stirring the sugar into the water while bringing the mixture to a
boil over low heat. Boiling the solution is important as it helps remove
chlorine from the water and kills mold and yeast spores that might be in the
sugar.
Boil the hummingbird food recipe for two minutes and let cool. Do not boil any longer than 2
minutes or you will boil away too much of the water and change the ratio of
sugar to water. I have read that higher sugar concentration resulting from
boiling too long, will be more attractive to insects.
Once the homemade hummingbird food recipe is cool you can add it to your feeder and store any excess
nectar in the refrigerator (for 7 - 8 days) for use at a later date.
It is not necessary to completely fill your feeder. Only put in as much
hummingbird food recipe nectar as
you need to feed the number of Hummingbirds you have using your feeder. When it
comes time to change the Humming bird nectar you don't want to have a large amount left over
to throw away.
Nothing is more fun, saves money and is better for
your hummingbirds, than making your own Hummingbird food recipe.
Once your hummingbird food recipe is made you will want an easy to
clean feeder that will protect your homemade hummingbird nectar from ants, bees and wasps.
My favorite hummingbird feeder to use with
the hummingbird food recipe is the
HummZinger Ultra
It's only
$28.18 and
has several features that makes it well worth the price.
The
HummZinger has
patented Nectar guard tips which are flexible membranes attached to the feed
ports that prohibit entry from flying insects, but allow Hummingbirds to feed as
usual. The HummZinger also has a built in ant moat that will stop crawling
insects from getting to the nectar. It also has raised flower ports that divert
rain.
This mid-size nectar feeder has a 12 oz. capacity and
can be hung or post mounted with hardware provided. It has four feeding ports
for hummingbirds and is made of unbreakable polycarbonate. Easy to clean.
For ease of cleaning and protection from bees,
wasps and ants, this feeder can't be beat.
If you already have a hummingbird feeder you
want to protect from ants and other crawling insects, the ant trap below
will do the job.
The first and still the best to protect your
Hummingbird and Oriole feeder from ants and other crawling insects. Insert
between hanger and feeder and fill with 6 oz. of water, providing a
barrier to crawling pests. It is easily mounted with two 3/8" diameter
(open) hangers, plated for excellent weather protection. The TRAP-IT™ is
molded of one piece weather resistant plastic.
