You Can buy 'Hummingbird nectar' or 'Oriel nectar' powders premade or
to make your own, combine
4 Tablespoons Sugar*(white or turbino) with
1/2cup water.
you will need to heat this mixture to get it to disolve!- let cool BEFOREputting it in your feeder.

a SPECIAL FEEDER is REQUIRED for Hummingbirds and Oriels
if possible get one that has a red tinted(hummingbird) or Orange tinted(oriel) 'bottle'.
RED food coloring is then not Needed and should not be used!

NEVER substitue HONEY for the sugar as it may contain
bacteria that Will KILL Hummingbirds
