If you share nothing from this page, please let this be the post you share. We have to all work together to at least try to get this garbage banned, someway, somehow. These companies know it's bad for these tiny birds, but continue to manufacture and sell it for 1 simple reason... PROFIT! đ˛
Dyes/food coloring is petroleum based 𤎠and unnecessary for hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds cannot metabolize the dyes đ and that leads to kidney damage, failure and a slow, painful death. đąđ
All these tiny jewels need is 4 parts water to 1 part pure cane sugar. Boiling is unnecessary and not a requirement. Sugar dissolves in room temp, even cold water. If you do boil, boil/heat unmeasured water FIRST, for only 2-3 minutes, so to not concentrate the chemicals that cannot be boiled out. Then, after that 2-3 minutes, measure out your 4 parts water, THEN add your 1 part pure cane sugar.
Let cool before filling a clean feeder.
Also, do NOT just "top off" your feeders.
