Hummingbird Feeder
Mounts on a Window
Attaches with suction cups
Watch your hummingbirds up close!
Just
press the suction cups firmly against your window, and your new feeder
will stay in place, to attract beautiful hummingbirds breathtakingly close
to you. Since hummers are fearless, they won't be afraid to feed with
you standing on the other side of the glass taking in their gorgeous colors
and impossibly rapid wingbeats.
You don't need to buy any prepared mix for the food.(It's expensive,
and the mix you make yourself, without coloring, will be better for
the birds. Besides, tests show the hummers prefer the fresh stuff!)
RECIPE
Use three to five parts of water to one part of white granulated sugar.
Boil the water first. Mix in the sugar, and let it cool. Fill the feeder
to just above the metal band surrounding the perimeter of the feeder.
The remaining solution will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
