Audubon Park Hummingbird Food Wild Bird Nectar, Hummingbird Food for Outside Feeder, (3) 3-oz. Pre-Measured Packets

This hummingbird food attracts them. I have two feeders and they are always empty after one week. Obviously the hummingbirds think it tastes good. It says it has a freshness indicator, but it doesn’t last long in the feeders, so I just make it a habit to change the nectar every week on the same day as a rule of thumb.

My Hummingbirds love this brand. Had many visitors dailey.

Great product

El producto muy bueno y confiable pero cada vez que lo recibo viene uno con la bolsa golpeada y con pequeño hueco y se le sale el producto. Deberían poner la cajeta dentro de una bolsa plástica para evitar esto.

The birds like this food and its easy to use.

The color is derived from natural flora and isn’t harmful to the hummingbirds. Our little friends are safe!!

The hummingbirds love this mixture. But the packaging leaves a bit to be desired. One of the bags was already opened when I opened the box. It made quite a mess in the kitchen, pink everywhere. The other two bags were fine

I've been feeding hummingbirds in my back yard for years. I always bought whatever powdered food the local hardware store carried, as I thought they were all the same, as long as they were red. I know some people have said the red coloring was bad for the birds, but the hummers in my yard wouldn't touch the sugar water solution I tried making myself per the directions I've seen in other reviews. It worried me that the red stuff wasn't ideal, but at least they would drink it, and it had to be better for them than nothing. I tried this brand out of curiosity, and because it says the coloring is from natural sources and was therefore more healthy. I could tell immediately when mixing it up that it was different than the artificially-colored mixtures, as the redness has a deeper, beet-colored hue that has a slightly peach-tinged foam when shaken. If you've ever tried to use plant-based dyes to color something, you know what I mean. So I was already feeling much better about providing a healthy alternative, but I was totally unprepared for how much they would like it. I used to get four or five birds in my yard, who would take turns feeding at my four feeders, one at a time (mine were quite territorial, apparently). Within three days of putting out this new food, suddenly I have a dozen or more hummers at the feeders, and for some reason most of them will feed simultaneously now (except for one guy who seems determined to monopolize one feeder for himself). At high feeding hours, morning and late afternoon, they positively swarm my feeders now! They're so much fun to watch, swooping round each other and practically lining up for their turns at the feeders - it's like an aerial ballet. This food costs a bit more than the standard red stuff, but it attracts so many more hummers it's totally worth it. And I love that it is more nutritious for the birds. You really must try it! Be sure you are careful to replace the food regularly. Having been used to the artificially colored food, I sometimes overfilled my feeders and the nectar was fine for quite a while. But because the coloring is from natural sources in this product, it doesn't stay fresh for as long. We were away for a bit over a week, and when we returned home I found the nectar in one of the feeders had thickened and become moldy. So I'm only filling my feeders with enough nectar to last the birds for three days or so, then starting over with a fresh supply. It's still worth it to give the birds healthy food! UPDATE July 2014: Like other reviewers, I became discouraged (and a little ticked off) at the increasing price of this food. I finally reached my limit and decided to try something else this year. The hummingbirds went on strike. We had one or two birds a day, and that was it. So I broke down and ordered one box, as a test. Within days they were back in droves. I don't know what it is about this stuff, but it's like crack to them. I suppose I'll just have to get a second job to pay for their habit.
