     Title: Corky's Hummingbird Food
Categories: Bird Food
  Servings: 1

 1 1/2  c   hot tap water
 1/2    c   granulated sugar
 2      dr  red food coloring

You can make your own nectar in a matter of seconds.  It is simply a
1:4 sugar solution. I mix it up in a large measuring cup using 1 1/2c. hot tap
water, 1/2c. regular granulated sugar and a couple of drops of red food
coloring for enticement.  If they are already using a feeder then you can
omit the food coloring.  One caution, do not use honey!  Hummers are unable to
digest it properly and can actually starve on a diet of it.
Enjoy your company of hummers!
