Default Rinkrat's Kickass Hummingbird Food

I have this down to a fine art and it drives the Hummingbirds crazy.

Just get ONE CUP of water and put it in a saucepan, add ONE CUP of sugar. Heat and stir until it turns clear starts to boil. Turn it off and cool it. Put it in your hummingbird feeder and watch them go nuts! No need for food dye or anything else. This amount should last you about a week and you really don't want to have it much longer since it will turn to vinager and the hummers will hate it. Change it once a week and they will come back forever, in fact they get real defensive about the nectar and have aerial battles when the sun is descending and the feeding time is waning.

LOL, it's a good suggestion though. I never thought of doing that.

I think I may go buy a hummingbird feeder today...

We do the same thing...and have full on air battles between about 5 different hummingbirds over the rights to it...really quite entertaining.

This is a pic I just took of the main perpetrator. This guy might look sweet, but his sits there overlooking his bottle of nectar and he will kick any other hummer's ass who thinks about getting in his stash. It's a hard job though because he has challengers taking him on all day long.

One day, I had the sprinklers on.

I randomly looked out the window to see, to my surprise, a whole squadron of around 8 hummingbirds hovering around and into the water from the sprinklers.

A bizarre and beautiful sight.

Wish I had recorded it.

Strangely, around that same time, my house was infiltrated, from the stove exhaust, by dozens of house flys. I hadn't seen anything like it before nor since.

I liked the hummingbirds better.

you could find, in any Thursday newspapers, better deals from several competing camera stores.

I've seen a nice DSLR (MSRP $900) with a short lens and a long zoom lens, tripod, flash card, and carrying case, all for the same price.

You've seen all of the stuff you listed for $575, all inclusive?

So do you usually broil them or throw'em on the grill. Also, marinade or sauce?
