So, regardless of whether I make my own Hummingbird Nectar recipe or purchase one of the store-bought brands, my hummingbird friends just appreciative being cared for and fed. Commercial Nectars come in granular forms and are pretty much ready to mix and serve, a little or a lot, so I like to keep it on hand for when I am running short on time (which is most of the time). It is not necessary to boil the water because the micro-organisms that cause fermentation dont come.
Then I end up making too much and having to pour it out after a week. Use one part ordinary white cane sugar to four parts water. You save time for a little extra cost, that’s it.Īs the season approaches, I anticipate the enjoyment of making homemade nectar for my feathered friends, but soon find myself distracted by life’s little demands and having little time to maintain this commitment.Īlthough making Hummingbird Nectar is simple it takes a little time to make and cool. Many people ask us what the difference is between the commercial brand of Hummingbird Nectars and the classic Homemade Hummingbird Nectar Recipe. The food they are most attracted to in many birders’ backyards is a basic recipe that approximates the natural sucrose content of top nectar-producing flowers and offers the birds a healthy, nutritious, easily digestible source of energy and calories. Hummingbirds have a sugar-centric lifestyle and eat a variety of different things like flower nectar, honey, tree sap, and ripened fruit juices, as well as insects for a source of protein.
