Homemade Hummingbird Feeder Food

If you enjoy the sight of hummingbirds buzzing around your yard, offer them nectar to attract them to your property. While you can buy hummingbird nectar from the store, it gets costly after a while and may contain ingredients that are not good for the birds. Making homemade hummingbird food will save you money and ensure that the food the hummingbirds are eating is healthful.
