My mom asked me for the hummingbird feeder solution I make and it occurred to me that you might want it, too. I boil 2 cups of water for a few minutes and then add 1/2 cup of sugar. Let it cool and fill the feeder.
Basically: 4 parts water / 1 part sugar
I love the Stokes Birding Blog and they have a nice post about it. You can see it by clicking here. The Stokes have wonderful field guides and bird identification books which helped me to identify my first Blue Grosbeak earlier this month. I, also, took a tip from another one of their posts about filling a suet feeder with fiber for birds to use for nesting material. Lovebug and I did that together this morning. It was fun mother/daughter time. She took a couple of pictures for you...
Maybe I should make up some nesting balls using alpaca fiber for the Etsy shop. Or maybe kits for families to do together... hmmm... off to think...

Thanks for the hummingbird nectar recipe! I just used up the remainder of a mix to fill our feeders this morning, now I know what to use next! Your blog is looking great.
THANKS! Got a new feeder in from Amazon. Just need to hit the grocery store for some sugar... I don't have any in the house!(and usually don't!). I usually have a couple of hummingbirds that like my flowers. I'm hoping to attract more with this feeder!
Keep me posted! Glad you can use the recipe!
