Hummingbird Food
This is for birds, not people!
Ingredients
- 10 oz filtered water
- 5 Tbsp white granulated cane sugar
(4:1 water:sugar ratio)
Do not use brown sugar, unrefined/unbleached sugar, honey, or any other kind of sweetener. These are all bad for hummingbirds.
Unrefined sugar in particular can be high in iron, which is bad.

- While the mixture cools, clean feeder with vinegar. Rinse well.
- Pour food into feeder.
