• Re: Hummingbird Nectar Recipe » Watching Backyard Birds.com
  I use Brita (filtered) water, cane sugar (hoping it's nonGMO). Heat water in pan, prep sugar in a glass, heat-proof measuring cup. 1 cup sugar, add hot water to make 2 cups total or so. Stir. Cool. Store in jar (glass or plastic) in fridge. Add to mix to feeder as needed, add more water to make ~3 parts water, ~1 part sugar. maybe more sugar as birds arrive I spring, more water in summer when it's hot. I make it concentrated 1 to 1 so it's easier store.

• Re: How—and Why—to Clean Your Bird Feeders » Watching Backyard Birds.com
  "Clean your feeders and birdbaths regularly–"at least once a month, and more often during periods of heavy use." Also more often in hot, damp, and humid weather. Bird seeds contain oil, which spoils and can turn rancid with higher temperatures. Molds and fungus increase with humidity and dampness.
