Hummingbird Solution Recipe

One part sugar to three or four parts water is our recommended ratio for hummingbird sugar water. For example, one cup of water mixed with 1/4 or 1/3 a cup of sugar. The water needs to be hot enough to mix the sugar in, so hot tap water works as well as boiled water. We do not recommend going any sweeter as it can be bad for the hummingbirds.

Please use only white table sugar as this best replicates natural nectar. If your sweetener causes the solution to change colour (anything with honey, agave, stevia, raw/organic sugar, dyes, etc.) it is not recommended for hummingbirds.
