My favorite wife, Mrs Dirtball, came up with this good idea for cheap Hummingbird food. Take 1 quart of water, add 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 package of Kool Aid. She usually use's the cherry flavor but any flavor that turn's red will work. After we put it in the feeder, you can almost watch the level go down. I swear those greedy little suckers must be chug-a-lugging the stuff! :ROTFLMAO: :rock: DIRTBALL2 ;)

They're fun to watch.  For as cute as they are, they're kinda rough.  Very territorial over they're feeder.  My feeder!  Go away!  Bzzzzzz They'll chase other hummingbirds off one way then the other and just hover there by it to guard it.
If ya don't know where ya are, go back to da beginnin.
