A glass hummingbird feeder with a twist. This Sapphire twist glass hummingbird feeder works well by itself or as a pair of lawnornaments to deliver a blaze of color to your lawn and garden décor. I have written about where to place your hummingbirdfeeders to get the most traffic and where to place them to keep the bully hummers, the ruby-throated hummingbirds, from being the only hummingbird to grace your glass hummingbird feeders. These suggestions will deliver more traffic and maybe even a little less bullying. However, what is good to put in your sapphire twist glass hummingbird feeders.
If you have a favorite hummingbird food recipe that you like, and the hummers like, by all means stay with it. If you are wondering how to make hummingbird food there are many hummingbird food recipes out there to try. The hummingbird nectar that hummers go for first is natural, the sugary nectar from flowering plants like Columbine, Impatiens, Geraniums and more. This nectar gives the bird a sugar high that is most important before they make their trek across the Golf of Mexico. There are a variety of instant mixes out there to try in your Sapphire Twist glass hummingbird feeders, my hummer friends seem to prefer this simple hummingbird nectar recipe.
1 Part Sugar
4 Parts Water
Boil 1-2 Minutes
Cool and Store in your refrigerator
Because Honey ferments easily never use it in your hummingbirdfeeders. The fermentation will cause sores in a hummingbird’s mouth. Artificial sweeteners are just that artificial, they have no food value. Most glass hummingbird feeders sold today have some degree of red in them, red attracts the hummingbird. Although there have not been any testing done on the effects of the dye on birds, please DO NOT use red food coloring in the solution you use for your hummingbirdfeeders, it could harm your swift winged wonders. If you don’t feel there is enough red in your Sapphire Twist glass hummingbird feeder just tie a small red ribbon around your feeder.
