Isn't she (or he?) pretty? We put out a feeder this time last year and had a such wonderful time watching them that we put the feeder out again. They are amazing creatures to watch! And so funny. We tried to use store bought food in the feeder this year, but they turned up their beaks at it and refused to eat! So, we make our own food and they gobble it up. We have their feeder stuck to our living room window so that we can watch them up close.
Even Daisy likes to watch the Hummingbirds!
Here is the recipe for home-made humming bird food:
1 part sugar
4 parts water
(example: 2 cups water and 1/2 cup sugar)
Combine in pot and bring to a boil to kill any bacteria.
Turn off heat and leave to cool.
Don't add red food coloring or anything else.

I'm sure we all know what Daisy was thinking.... yum!
I love hummingbirds. We did some research and found that males have red on them and females have white. Not sure if this is true or not.
