Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water

Directions:

  1. Boil water.
  2. Mix in ordinary white granulated sugar.
  3. Stir and allow the mixture to cool.
  4. When the nectar is room temperature, fill your clean oriole feeder.
  5. Tips: This is 6 parts water to 1 part sugar.
  6. Never use dyes or food coloring, as they are not healthy for hummingbirds or orioles.
  7. Never use honey when making your nectar mix. Honey attracts bees and can grow black fungus that will cause a fatal liver and tongue disease in hummingbirds.
  8. Replace the nectar once every three to four days and clean the feeder thoroughly.
  9. Unused nectar can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
  10. You will need to clean your feeder every few days, with hot water and a mild (10%) bleach solution to inhibit mold. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with water syrup.
