| HUMMINGBIRD FEED | |
|
1 c. water 1/4 c. sugar 1-2 drops red food color Mix water and sugar. Heat until sugar is dissolved. Add food color and let cool. Pour into your hummingbird feeder and watch the birds drink! Cooks Note: Some questions exist as to whether red food coloring may be safe for hummingbirds. If you have beet juice (saved from canned beets) available, add a few tablespoons to the water to color it naturally. Otherwise, you can also choose to omit the coloring altogether. | |

Phyllis (Virginia) says:
Red food coloring - is poison to hummers. People seem to think this is an old wives tale... but it IS stated on many official web sites about birds. PLEASE just buy a feeder with lots of red. Lowe's did have a solid red glass feeder a few years ago. Not trying to be a smart but... have just researched this over & over.
