How to Make a Proper Batch of Hummingbird Food

As a member of a few Hummingbird Facebook groups, I found this recipe to make your own hummingbird nectar.  I already knew the proper measurements but wanted to share this with others. 

This recipe does not use red food coloring/dye, which is harmful to hummingbirds.

Here's a photo (by Linda Lindsay on Facebook "Hummingbirds Anonymous"), in which she shows a hummingbird that drank nectar with red food coloring.

Please pass this on to your friends.

Thanks for caring.
