Choose the Right Container: A small plastic or glass bottle works well as the base for your hummingbird feeder.

Prepare the Nectar: Mix 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water. Boil the water, stir in the sugar until dissolved, and let it cool.

Attach the Bottle: Secure the bottle upside down into the container or create small holes in the bottle cap for nectar to drip through.

Add Red Color: Hummingbirds are attracted to red, so add red tape or use a red bottle to draw them in.

Create Feeding Ports: Use small holes or straw-like tubes to allow the birds to drink the nectar.

Install a Hanging Mechanism: Attach string or wire to the bottle or container to hang the feeder from a tree or hook.
