To make hummingbird food (nectar), follow these simple steps: Ingredients:

• Refined white granulated sugar
• Water

Instructions:

1. Mix 1 part sugar with 4 parts water (for example, 1 cup sugar with 4 cups water).
2. Bring the water to a boil, then remove from heat.
3. Stir in the sugar until it is completely dissolved.
4. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
5. Fill a clean hummingbird feeder with the cooled nectar.
6. Hang the feeder outside for hummingbirds to enjoy.

Important tips:

• Do not add red dye or any food coloring, as it can be harmful to hummingbirds. The red color of the feeder itself is sufficient to attract them.
• Do not use honey, brown sugar, raw sugar, or artificial sweeteners, as these can be harmful or promote fungal growth.
• Change the nectar and clean the feeder every 2-3 days to prevent mold and bacteria buildup.
• Boiling the water helps remove impurities and dissolves the sugar better.

This recipe mimics the natural nectar hummingbirds find in flowers and is safe and healthy for them
