Filling the Feeder
Fill the hummingbird feeder with nectar only.
Use store-bought nectar, or make your own
(one part sugar to four parts boiling water). Use
sugar only; do NOT use honey or any artificial
sweeteners when making the nectar as it can be
fatal to hummingbirds. Cool the nectar to room
temperature before filling the feeder. Follow the
instructions below to fill the hummingbird feeder.
1. Turnthehummingbirdfeederoveronaat
surface, and remove the base by unscrewing
it in a counterclockwise motion while keeping
armgripontheglassjarandcircularperch
(Fig. 1).
2. Whilekeepingarmgripontheglassjar,
llitwithnectar,makingsuretoleavesome
empty space at the top to prevent waste and
spillage (Fig. 2).
3. Screw the base back onto the feeder by
turningitclockwisewhilekeepingarmgrip
on the glass jar and circular perch. Turn the
feederbackover,andthebasewillllwith
nectar (Figs. 3 and 4).
Filling the Ant Moat
Your hummingbird feeder has a built-in ant moat
to prevent ants and other insects from getting
into the feeding ports. To fill the ant moat, simply
fill the opening at the top of the feeder with
water (Fig. 5).
Hanging the Feeder
Use the metal hanging hook to hang the
hummingbird feeder around your yard, patio,
garden, terrace, porch, or any safe location for
birds. It’s recommended to hang the feeder on a
sturdy surface such as a tree, shrub, or pole.
Choose a non-windy location for your feeder to
prevent nectar spill. It’s recommended to hang
the feeder in an open area, as hummingbirds
prefer open spaces that allow them to move

from nectar source to nectar source. Ideally, the
feeder should also be near flowers, in an area
that has both sun and partial shade during the
day.
Place the feeder at least 15 to 20 feet (4.5 m to 6
m) away from windows, as they are a hazard to
hummingbirds. Hang the feeder approximately
5 ft above the ground to discourage unwelcome
pests like ants, mice + squirrels from feeding on
the nectar. Hanging the feeder near trees, shrubs,
or other cover offers a convenient location for
birds to seek refuge from predators and severe
weather as well.
Maintenance
Cleaning and refilling the feeder often is essential
in preventing deadly mold from growing.
Therefore, it’s recommended to clean and refill
the feeder twice a week in hot weather (above
60ºF / 15ºC), and once a week in cooler weather
(under 60ºF / 15ºC).
1. Unscrew the glass jar from the moat and base
of the feeder to dispose of the old nectar and
moat water.
2. Remove the base and feeding ports from the
circular perch (Fig. 6).
3. Use hot tap water, or a weak vinegar solution
to clean the feeder. Avoid using dish soaps,
as they can leave harmful residue in the
feeder. Using a brush, scrub all parts of the
feeder individually before rinsing thoroughly
and drying.
4. Once dry, attach the feeding ports back to the
perch, then reassemble,rell,andre-hangthe
feeder as instructed before. Wash your hands
after handling the hummingbird feeder.
