This sweet visitor
finally was comfy enough to sit while drinking the nectar. I make my own hummingbird nectar, and recommend you to do it too. It is easy, cheap and healthier for the birds than the store-bought stuff with dyes and preservatives. Use 1 part granulated white cane sugar and 4 parts water. Mix until dissolved and chill. You can boil the water to help dissolving. Don't use chlorinated water. This mix will hold up for a couple of days in the fridge.
