Hummers


Last week we proudly put up our hummingbird feeder. We bought the special red nectar and waited. Hummers came but did not eat. So we looked up why. The red stuff taste terrible to the birds. They only want sugar and not the red dyed stuff. So we poured out the red nectar stuff, cleaned the feeder and boiled 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. This new clear nectar we made has been a hit with the humming birds. They sit and eat and bring all their friends.
