What is a good mixture or recipe for a humming Bird Feeder?

I would like to make my own Humming Bird mixture but am a little concerned. I have heard that mildew can kill the birds.

What is a good mixture for them? Is honey or syrup better than sugar?

4 parts water, 1 part white sugar.

Do not use anything but regular sugar. Honey is poisonous to hummers. Do not use food coloring, there are studies showing that it is causing internal tumors. Your feeder is bright enough.

Change the liquid at least once a week. Wash the feeder with hot water and a scrub brush, no soap. Some soaps leave behind odors that hummers don't like, and if you don't get all of it off, you will make them sick.

Hang the feeder high enough that cats can't get them, and in a cool spot. A little sun won't hurt, but more sun means the liquid will spoil quicker. Hummers don't care how close to a window you put it, as long as there isn't a lot of movement right behind the glass.

The more feeders you put out, the more hummers you will get. They are very territorial, so if one is feeding at one feeder, he can't scare away a hummer on a different feeder.

Have fun!
