Unscrew the bottle to remove it from the base	Pour 1/3 cup of granulated sugar into the bottle.	Add 1-1/2 cups of hot tap water into the bottle.	Swirl solution in circular motion. Mix thoroughly, until milky	Note: This makes an approximate four-to-one, water-to-sugar nectar solution. There is no need to boil water to make an effective nectar solution for hummingbirds.
Re-attach the base onto the bottle. Screw the base assembly onto the bottle.	Take feeder outdoors, turn right-side up. The feeder should not splash or spill at all if you quickly flip it right-side up. It won't even spill or leak when it swings back and forth!		Hang from a stable support.	Feeder Placement: Try hanging your feeder at a good distance from any human or animal activity, and about six feet off the ground. Hummingbirds are very shy. They will eventually become accustomed to human activity, but they will be very hesitant to feed regularly at new feeders when there are humans nearby. See our FAHQ for more information!

Cleaning Instructions

"I love the feeder! I brought it in a couple of nights ago and just popped it into the dishwasher -- it was so easy! Thanks for your great product."  --Renee M., Alabama

"The feeders are easily the best I have seen. Not only are they extremely easy to maintain, but they are superior in build quality. It makes me wonder why nobody else has ever figured out the design you are using, because the other types of feeder are just so impractical, and basically made very poorly. Yours are great! " -- a Dr. JB's online customer

"I am thrilled to have your new hummingbird feeder, and I look forward to putting it out this Spring!
It certainly has the best design from the stand point of cleaning, of any feeder I have seen."
Dr. Don Rhoades, Director of Education & Research, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden
