Georgia’s Hummingbirds Are Returning: How to Prepare and Feed Them!

That is right everyone you all heard me correct, our feathered friends are officially back right now to the state of Georgia!

How to clean hummingbird feeders

With all of this being said, right now is a great time to get your hummingbirds feeders ready to go and prepared for our feathered friends’ return!

To clean the feeders just use a clean paper towel, warm water and dishwashing detergent. Clean the feeders and rinse them thoroughly to prevent any soap from being left behind inside.

After you clean your hummingbird feeders out now it is time for the fun part, making the hummingbird food!

To make the hummingbird nectar food follow the recipe that I have entered below. Remember never use any artificial red food coloring because it is very harmful to hummingbirds!

The hummingbird nectar recipe

Mix 1 part sugar with 4 parts water. Stir the sugar and the water well together until it is dissolved. Pour the hummingbird food into your hummingbird feeders and hang the feeders outside. You can store the leftover feed in the fridge if you would like.
