Sugar Water Ratio for Hummingbirds
Messages:
Bardon Said,
I have always used 1 cups of sugar to 4 cups of water when I mix up my nectar for the hummingbirds. Is this too sweet and not good for the birds? I am sure I read somewhere that this was how to attract them.

This is perfect !! we use the same amount and we have about 20 hummers who agree it is the greatest!!!

There is no best or worst time. Start whenever you want to. The birds can use your help in the very early spring when their natural seed sources are scarce. In general, whenever the weather is severe, birds will appreciate a reliable supplemental food source.
Okay, I know you have heard of a flower garden, vegetable garden, and rock garden, but what is a hummingbird garden? These is an actual garden designed using the types of plants and flowers that entice hummingbirds so that you can sit back and enjoy these beautiful creatures as they travel in search of nectar. This type of garden can be created by anyone where flowers can be grown. All you need to know is the types of plants to use and some basic instructions on care.
