Do NOT use food coloring as it's bad for them.





Just use 1 part sugar to 4 parts water!

To prepare a batch of sugar-water for a hummingbird feeder, mix one part granulated white sugar to four parts water, then boil the solution for one or two minutes; don't let the brew turn to syrup. Cool the mixture before filling feeders and store the surplus in your refrigerator. Do not use honey, as it ferments easily and promotes a fungus growth that can prove harmful. Most feeders have enough red plastic parts to lure the birds, so it is not necessary to add red food coloring to the sugar-water.What is the recipe for humming bird food ?
sugar and water. My sister in law adds a small amount of red kool aid to attract them
4 table spoons of sugar to a pint of water plus some red food color. Bring to a boil and then let cool. It must be changed every 2-3 days because it ferments and will make the birds drunk. They already fly frontwards and backward and you see them fling sideways.
