that's good cuz it looks like you color your nectar which according to Birders World and Bird Watchers Digest magazines can, and has, caused deadly polyps in some hummers.

with a colored feeder, we don't need to color it, just boil 1 gal water with 1 cup sugar until dissolved well.

PLEASE SEND US SOME SNOW, we have not had but a dusting for 2 years!
