Steps:
- Boil water.
- Mix in ordinary white granulated sugar.
- Stir and allow the mixture to cool.
- When the nectar is room temperature, fill your clean oriole feeder.
- Tips: This is 6 parts water to 1 part sugar.
- Never use dyes or food coloring, as they are not healthy for hummingbirds or orioles.
- 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.
- Replace the nectar once every three to four days and clean the feeder thoroughly.
- Unused nectar can be refrigerated for up to two weeks.
- 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.
