Last summer I saw a decrease of hummingbirds. I went to my local Wild Birds Unlimited for advice. I was changing the nectar every 3-4 days. In the heat that doesn’t work, it needs to be changed daily or every other day. Reason: what happens to sugar water when allowed to sit and heat up – it ferments. Yep, you’re feeding the birds booze. Some birds may like but most don’t. Change the nectar often.

When that hummingbird crashes into your window after feeding, it was FWI (flying while intoxicated).

Thanks for the advice.
