Rufous Hummingbird Here’s a random hummingbird fact - the average hummingbird found in North America tips the scales at around three grams and its brain only makes up about 4% of its body weight. That means that their BB sized brain weighs in at a very minuscule 0.12 grams!
So, with such a tiny amount of brain power, just how do they remember a thousand mile migration route that ends up at the same exact nectar feeder they used last year?
It’s a truly amazing feat! Especially when you consider that the human brain weighs in at a whopping 1350 grams and some of us (who will remain nameless) 
always seem to have trouble remembering even the simplest things…like the recipe for hummingbird nectar! Is it a 6:1 ratio or 4:1? Is the 4 the sugar part or is it the water portion?
Well, it’s important to remember that the simple recipe for hummingbird nectar is the 4:1 ratio - 4 parts water to 1 part white table sugar. This concentration has proven safe and attractive to hummingbirds for decades and closely mimics the average concentration (20%) of the natural flower nectar on which hummingbirds feed.
Hummingbird nectar should always be made from simple table sugar (sucrose) as it is the closest possible duplicate of natural flower nectar. Sugar alternatives such as honey, artificial sweeteners, raw sugar, organic sugar, brown sugar or additives such as preservatives and red dyes should not be used as they can potentially be harmful to hummingbirds.
Be sure to visit us soon and we can help you with the simplest way to make pure nectar for your hummingbirds by using our WBU Nectar. You will never have to worry about remembering the recipe again!

FOR THE BIRDS
Get the attention of one of nature's most mesmerizing creatures with our WBU Hummingbird Feeders. These specially designed feeders have a built-in ant moat that keeps bugs out, and feeding ports that prevent rain water from diluting the nectar solution.
They are easy to hang or pole-mount and easy to clean (it's top shelf dishwasher safe). These feeders are backed with a lifetime guarantee.
