I put 1/2 cup of sugar in a mason jar and pour 2 cups boiling water over it. Let it cool, put a lid on it and store it in the refrigerator. I have only one hummingbird feeder. When I clean and refill it I immediately make another batch of nectar to store in the fridge. During warm months I don't offer seed or suet; there are plenty of sources of food once the weather warms up. What keeps them coming around at all times of the year is the bird bath which is always filled with fresh water. I love watching them splish-splash around in the bath. It doesn't (often) get cold enough for the water to freeze in the bath where I live now but it did in west TN. I have a small heater for the bath I used then. Jill |

I used to make nector but it's cheap enough to buy it ready made, and the brand I buy already contains the minerals and vitamins for proper egg shell formation. >It's easy enough to make "nectar" for hummingbirds.

During warm weather the birds prefer the many ponds here, they especially like the shallow vernal ponds. |

I live on one of a string of sea islands surrounded by salt marshes. Even the tidal creeks are mostly salt water. Yes, birds always find sources of fresh water but it's the the bird bath that keeps them coming to my patio year round. ![]() No seed out at this time of year. Just this morning I've seen tufted titmice, a mated pair of cardinals, Carolina chickadees all coming to take a sip and a dip in the bird bath. ![]() Jill |

It's easy enough to not reply. I don't keep many male friends for the same reason, most males are very competitive... they can't abide by admitting that I've taught them something, like how I've instructed some men how to make their own wine, etc. A lot of males are not very good cooks, it frustrates them to no end that they have to admit that someone had to teach them the basics. I no longer help folks at RFC, they are quick to steal credit. It's primarily the males who steal credit, but many females can't cook a lick either especially the texassians who only know cheap ass sandwhiches... any moroon can concoct a sandwich... sandwhiches ain't cooking, no how, no way. |
