Ronda others may say something else but this has ALWAYS worked for me. Never wash the feeder with soapy water. I just rinse them with hot water. Mixture consists of 1 part sugar with 3 parts water. So if you've got a 2 cup feeder fill to 1/2 cup line with sugar & top off to 2 cup line with HOT tap water. Stir the mixture until sugar dissolves. I then put a drop or 2 of red food coloring in the empty feeder before pouring in sugar water. That's really for my own benefit so I can see the levels easier. I now buy sugar in 10 lb bags. Let me know if they start showing up. Once you get them started they'll return year after year. Kinda like the Swallows of Spanish Springs or the Buzzards of Lake Sumter Landing. Or something like that. ;D
And NO FUMAR they don't taste like chicken.
