#HEALTHY HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD NECTAR RECIPE CRACK#
Hot nectar can warp or crack both glass and plastic hummingbird feeders and warm nectar will ferment more quickly. Hummingbird nectar must be completely cool before filling feeders.The 4:1 water to sugar ratio most closely approximates the sucrose levels in natural nectar. The ratio of sugar and water can be slightly adjusted, but a solution that is too sweet will be difficult for the birds to digest and one that does not contain enough sugar will not be suitable to attract hummingbirds.If you use extra fine sugar no boiling may be needed. Therefore, it is not necessary to boil the nectar once the sugar has been dissolved. While boiling will help slow the fermentation of the nectar initially, the nectar in hummingbird feeders is contaminated as soon as it is sipped by a bird.Sugar substitutes do not have the caloric energy that hummingbirds need for energy. Honey and molasses (brown sugar contains molasses products) are too heavy for hummingbirds to digest efficiently and can ferment more quickly, creating a mold that is fatal to hummingbirds. Do not use honey, brown sugar, molasses or artificial sugar substitutes for any hummingbird nectar recipe.You can also boil the water before adding the sugar to help purify it. If your tap water contains heavy chemicals, consider using bottled or purified water for purer nectar.
