How Do I Make Hummingbird Food?

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Jennica from Pet Planet in Riverton, Utah. We're going to be talking about how to make hummingbird food. It's actually kind of easy, all you have to do is take about four cups of tap water. You want to put it in a sauce pan and boil it for about five minutes so you get all the pesticides and minerals and stuff that's not good for the birds and out of it. And then take it off the stove, let it cool down and then you actually add a cup of, just one cup of sugar and wait until it dissolves and then but it in your bird feeder. You can also add a little bit of red food coloring, it actually helps to attract the hummingbirds to the food. You can actually also buy hummingbird food. It comes in a little powder at some local pet stores that might be around you. They also might sell the hummingbird feeders if you don't have any of those. Also, you can also check on eBay and see if they have any other ways of doing, of making hummingbird food. If you don't want to boil tap water you can actually probably use distilled water instead. It doesn't have any pesticides or anything in it. If you have any further questions you can contact us at petplanetriverton@gmail.com"
