Ratio sugar to water for humming bird food Is it one sugar 3 water?

Hello, Mary -

You can find a recipe for making nectar to put in a humming bird feeder on the Hummingbird Society web site:
https://www.hummingbirdsociety.org/feeding-hummingbirds/

The information states "No red food coloring!"

Best wishes.

Yes but add some sugar or something so you do not starve them. You can look up on line how much sugar to add.

Hi,

The ratio is 1 part sugar to 4 parts water

The overwhelming recommendation in the industry for making hummingbird nectar is a solution of 4 parts water to 1 partwhite table sugar (sucrose).

Backyard birds are birds who visit your backyard. Which birds visit your backyard depends on where you live, the environment, and what foods may be available. Some birds will eat from feeders while, others only eat from the ground or from fruit/flower trees/bushes.

Several years ago, I created a wild bird garden for my mother in S. Florida. I have 20+ feeders, 3 water fountains, and a few trees/plants including, mango tree, hibiscus, berries, and more. We are visited daily by dozens of Monk parakeets aka Quaker Parrots, Blue Crown Parrots, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Doves, Cardinals, and more!

I can answer most questions about backyard birding (i.e.; foods, types of birds) for anyone interested in this hobby!

Storebought food for caged birds should meet most of their nutritional requirements,but your bird would also benefit from some fresh and low cost foods/ water thatyou don't need to buy specially. Here's an article about substituting some ofthe bought foods for healthier options http://www.quakerville.com/qic/feeding.asp

Try using a small net to get it out of there. They are usually drawn to light so open the door and turn off all lights in the room. Make sure there is no cat or dog that may frighten the bird. Good luck.

they will migrate when it is time no matter if you feed them or not we have the same birds come back every year
