Make Your Own Hummingbird Food

Make your own hummingbird food.... save money, have fun too!

Make your own hummingbird food and you will have the added joy of watching your hummingbirds feed on nectar that you have made with your own 2 hands!

If you make your own hummingbird food you will also save money and have hummingbird nectar that is better for your hummingbirds. Because there is no need to add any of the red food coloring that is found in most store bought hummingbird food, your nectar will be better for the hummingbirds. There is evidence that red food coloring used to attract hummingbirds can be harmful to them.

If you have a red feeder you do not need it anyway and if your feeder is not red, just tie some red ribbon on it to attract hummingbirds.

To make your own hummingbird food all you need is 2 ingredients ...tap water and white granulated table sugar.

To make your own hummingbird food you will also need the hummingbird food formula.

The formula is 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. A ratio of 4 to 1 will closely match the nectar that hummingbird get when they feed from flower blooms.

Make your own hummingbird food instructions:

1. First you will need to add the 4 parts water to a pan and on your stove top bring the water to a boil

2. While the water is coming to a boil, stir in the 1 part sugar and continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved

3. When the hummingbird food mixture starts to boil, continue boiling for about 2 minutes

This 2 minute boiling will get rid of any chlorine that might be in the water as well as killing any mold spores that might be in the sugar. Boiling will help your nectar keep longer before the sugar starts to ferment, once it is out in the heat.

4. After boiling for 2 minutes you can take the hummingbird nectar off the heat to cool, before adding to your hummingbird feeder.

Now that you know how to make your own hummingbird food, the next thing you have to do is make sure you keep the hummingbird food in your feeder fresh. Hummingbirds will not use a feeder that doesn't contain fresh nectar.

Changing your hummingbird nectar once in a while is the way to keep it fresh. How often to change the nectar can be seen by the chart below, which is based on how hot the outside temperature is.

How often to change your nectar chart:

High temperatures............Change nectar after

71-75.................................6 days

76-80.................................5 days

81-84.................................4 days

85-88.................................3 days

89-92.................................2 days

93+....................................change daily

Change your hummingbird nectar according to the chart and you will always have fresh nectar in your feeder.

Every time you change the nectar rinse your feeder out with hot water.

Now you know how to make your own hummingbird food and how to keep it fresh. The only other thing you need to do is keep your hummingbird feeder clean. Check out this link on how to clean your hummingbird feeder.
