3 out of 5 stars it has worked for 10 years   September 7, 2010
Thomas E. Stazer (Houston, TX United States)
IT is an education to see these posts and learn that red dye MIGHT be bad for hummingbirds - however - I've used this exact mix for over a decade with no problems attracting, keeping, and seemingly pleasing many many hummingbirds. If you mix it weak, it won't work. If you mix it right, they will come. And fight over it. I sympathize with people who want to keep toxins out of wild animals, but really?? In Houston, there's more toxins in the air than any dye. If these birds can survive the toxic sludge that is houston water and air, I think they'll survive a lil red dye.

Not sure about this product. I've got hummingbirds all over my neighborhood, but they don't seem to like this stuff... I'm almost ready to just do some red-food-coloring and sugar water. If it works, I'll post another review.

Humming birds had been feeding throughout the day at my feeders. For convenience, I bought some of this mix. The birds stopped feeding as soon as I used this product. I mixed another batch, thinking that I had made a mistake somehow. They still won't feed. I have gone back to making my own, much cheaper and no additives. In addition, the bags had leaked inside the package, making a mess.

Please avoid red dye and chemicals for the sake of the hummers. Use 1 part pure cane sugar to 4 parts water. Boil and mix, cool and feed those hummers the best and most economical. The red on the feeders is all you need to attract the birds. Red dye in their food.........yuck. Poison!

Am very anxious for Spring to arrive so we can watch the hummingbirds come to the feeder to enjoy this food.
