Hummingbird Nectar Mixture

Watching hummingbirds feed is one of the most enjoyable & fascinating sights to experience. Maintaining a clean nectar source is the most important aspect of hummingbird feeding. Our HummZingers are the easiest to clean hummingbird feeders available. The bright red cover attracts hummingbirds from a distance & removes easily so the bowl can be cleaned quickly & thoroughly. Crafted in the U.S.A. from durable polycarbonate, the HummZingers are backed by a Lifetime Guarantee. The integrated wrap-around perch encourages longer feedings & the built-in ant moat blocks crawling insects. The proper nectar mixture for hummingbirds is even engraved on the underside of the cover of every HummZinger. In addition to being rugged, the HummZingers are as attractive as they are functional.

Hummingbird Nectar Mixture
The proper nectar mixture for hummingbirds is 1 (one) part white table sugar to 4 (four) parts water. The nectar recipe is engraved on the underside of the cover of every HummZinger feeder.

Pour 4 cups of water into a pan and bring to a boil (boiling helps slow bacterial growth). Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of white table sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow the sugar solution to cool before filling your HummZinger. Extra nectar should be stored in your refrigerator.

Do not use a sweeter mixture - this will harm the hummingbirds.
Do not substitute honey for sugar as it will promote fungal growth.
Do not add any dye or coloring to the mixture, it is not necessary.

* Clean HummZinger thoroughly with hot water & dish detergent as soon as nectar becomes cloudy with bacteria or mold. The HummZingers can even be put in the dishwasher (top-rack). Rinse thoroughly with hot water, fill with fresh nectar & continue to enjoy these beautiful, flying jewels.
