How to Make a Humming Bird Feeder to Mount on a Window

A hummingbird feeder attached to a window creates the opportunity to watch these unique birds drink nectar. No longer do you need to have a yard or porch to hang a hummingbird feeder. Window hummingbird soda bottle feeder kits can be purchased at local bird feed stores or can be found on the Internet.

Instructions

    • 1

      Clean a 16 or 20 ounce plastic soda bottle.

    • 2

      Fill the soda bottle with sugar water nectar. To make your own nectar, mix one cup of water with one quarter cup of sugar. The National Zoo recommends boiling the mixture to kill any bacteria or mold that may be present.

    • 3

      Attach suction cups to the bottle. These are included in the window hummingbird soda bottle feeder kit.

    • 4

      Screw on the hummingbird stand attachment to the top of the plastic bottle. This is what the hummingbirds will stand on while drinking the sugar water.

    • 5

      Attach the hummingbird feeder to any window. Be sure to have the bottle upside down so that the humming birds can stand on the perch and drink the nectar until it is gone.
