Make your yard hummingbirds' favorite place to visit with this DIY hummingbird feeder.
But all those tricks require energy and sustenance.
Because of this and to help the feeder stand out from the foliage, many hummingbird feeders are red.
Make a red lid to attract hummingbirds from a plastic folder by tracing the original metal lid.
Cut the circle out and use a hole puncher to punch four holes in the circle.
To make the nectar at home, boil 2 cups of water and add 12 cup of white sugar.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved, and let the mixture cool.
Make more or less of the hummingbird food by continuing to use a 4:1 ratio of water to sugar.
ensure to not add dyes or sweeteners, which can be harmful to hummingbirds.
Hang your hummingbird feeder on a shepherd’s hook or from a sturdy branch.
ensure the feeder is in a well-shaded area where it’s still visible to the birds.
Plan to refill the feeder every two to three days.
Or, if the hummingbirds are quickly eating the nectar, refill the feeder every day.
