How about some warnings? Don't start a feeder unless you can refill it once a day, twice in hot weather. Clean your feeder if you see any signs of mold or sugar crystals. Don't add red coloring--flower nectar is clear, and the red just dyes the birds' poop red, according to an article I read last week. If you invent a hummingbird feeder that keeps squirrels and bigger birds from taking over, patent it and sell them all over the green earth.
Re-purpose a guinea pig water bottle or rabbit water bottle or any bottle that the cap & spout will fit. Wrap the bottle in a wire coat hanger so that it can be hung up & decorate it with silk or artificial flowers, fill, hang it & enjoy!
I don't want to discourage your DIY genes but I must back up Jewel in her warning about cleaning the sugar feeder. Because of the danger of bacteria and mold it is imperative to have a feeder that can be taken apart so that every nook and cranny can be cleaned and scrubbed. It is also very good for the birds to have a feeder with perches. They are tiny little energy burners and any time they can perch and feed they are conserving energy. By giving them a feeder with perches you're giving them more than just a meal. I found an inexpensive feeder at Walmart that meets all these requirements. I just threw one away that I ordered on line because the bottom wouldn't come apart for cleaning and the opening in the bottle was too small to get get a bottle brush into.
