Saw my 1st hummer today....they are about 2 weeks late at my home but might have been here as I haven't been looking out the window as much as my mother did.....she usually saw the first one.....I'm missing her keen eye for the little birds
Something this year seems a little different. Last year I could go at least a week, if not 10 days, before the nectar in the feeder started having a tint of green (I use filtered water) to it. This year, so far, it’s looking like I need to clean and change the nectar every 4 or 5 days.We go 3 days and change out the food. You might try using distilled water? We scrub ours out pretty good when we change the food. It grows funk pretty quick.
3 days would be the max. clean And refill.Is there a way to keep the sugar water from growing funk in it? Mine might last 3-4 days before something starts growing in it. Looks like moss.
This fella didn’t want me to change out the food.
