You are a wise lady. You reason for feeding birds is so true and accurate. We are taking habitat from them so we should help them find food. Bravo!!
Thank you so much!
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy wasps and a kind of stingless bees are using my feeders and chasing off the hummingbirds. Any ideas on how to keep the feeders free for the hummingbirds?
@@performxlthe birds eat them

My (your) 😊 nectar mixture is warm from the heat here & they don’t seem to like it..help?!

Thank you… jeez…
After seeing your video I started making my own hummingbird nectar, I went from two or three birds to 30 or more within a week. I had no idea there were so many in my area. I clean the feeders every 2 to 3 days to make sure the birds have clean food. I am having so much fun watching them.
Wonderful ❤
I’m iioooooioiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii😮ooo😮I Lol it looks looks good to my my eyes and my hair and and the way my face is looking and and I am a very nice guy so yeah yeah that’s the the one one thing I’m saying but it’s the the same ones you don’t know about so I’m I’m sure I could help
Been using that recipe for years. You can get it by googling it. Nothing new. Too much talking. Everyone wants to be a star.
Hi, I live in GA and used your methods last year. Instead of the usual 3 to 4 hummingbirds that would stop by I had over 30 each morning, evening, and a good many all day for a couple of months.
That is great ❤ Thanks for sharing

Just tell me how to keep the ants away.
People around the world must know
Feeding stray dogs, birds and even ants, feeding poor people, is so good for you, it improves your life by curing the problems and hinderances in your Birthchart.
Its a culture to follow in India
❤️
I don’t know about that, I understand this is how your raised. I feel helping others including the creatures of the world is done from the heart. We have to want to do this for them, not because it says so. (but whatever works) We all should be good humans and care for what God has given us to enjoy. Sadly though there are too few of us that believe this. Hence the reason our world is crumbling in front of our eyes. It’s saddens me and I cry for the helpless, humans and animals alike.
I’m so glad to hear you help all things as well ❤
@@maryreynolds5310 so true. if we can hate without reason, i feel that we can also love without reason.
Wonderful let's help those beautiful little birds hummingbird to survive with natural food❤❤
I watched this video and thought I was going to learn some amazing new recipe. I was disappointed that it is exactly what I have always done. I'm very happy that you are able to teach others a very well known process.
@@rickswife07 what’s old and right is good forever ❤️
yes, my hummingbirds are taking a break from the feeders, with all the flowers blooming!!!🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Same here. I have the feeders up and very few birds compared to what we usually have here are feeding right now
There is nothing wrong with helping God's Beautiful Creations
Thank You Robbie
Look at all the sweet babies ..
Oh Yes, numbers have built up over the few years
you are my hummingbird guru Robbie !!!! follow all your instructions otherwise would never have had the nerve to start feeding these sweet angels, they bring so much joy in my life!!! Thank you!
I am so glad you are happily feeding hummingbirds, thank you so much 😊❤️
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy 🙏💓💓💓
I love feeding hummingbirds ❤. I saw my first ever Baltimore Oriole in my yard today. I remembered how you made the holes in your feeders bigger with your soldering iron, so I did that to the hummingbird feeder that I have in my flower bed so just incase he wants to get a drink, he can. I was so excited when I saw him and I got a picture of him 😊. Thank you for all the videos that you have made to help us learn! ❤😊❤😊
Aren’t they beautiful and fun to have there. I’m so glad he found those holes that were big enough for him to drink. Now they should be able to feed his babies. ❤
Cool ❗️‼️Great 👍🏽🫶🏽our Beautiful Hummingbirds 🎊 🎉😊Robbie the smart Lady that is so dependable on Nature and help to give back a little bit to these marvelous birds 🐦 🪺
Oh I’m going for it RIGHT NOW! Thank you thank you thank you. It was so lovely looking at all the birds you’re feeding 🙏🏻🥰
Wonderful! Thank you so much 😊 the birds will love you for it
❤️
I'm just happy to hear & see the Doves and Robins in my garden. Even though our weather's still chilled here, I put out a shallow dish of water for them. They remember how generous I was last year placing 3 gallon-sized buckets of fresh water for them. I placed twigs in each of them so the Monarchs & Bumblebees could drink too. The Robins would sit on the edge of the buckets...dunking grasshoppers in sort of a milk & cookies fashion. Nature deserves Mums like you & I, Robbie. I taught folks to place out buckets which drastically cut back on those cannibalistic grasshoppers. And you Robbie, well...I hand over the wand on everything else. Take care, ~ Covah
Oh wow, Wonderful how you are now getting the word out 😊 thank you so much ❤
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Of course. My town's very small, so posting what helped in our 103-112F dry summers in NE, MT....I'm fairly sure it will help a lot of other gardeners. I'm strictly *no-chem* which makes me even more excited when beneficial critters stop by.
Your a good lady for helping these gourgous little buddies I love watching them God little workers
I love watching them too, thank you so much ❤️
My sweet lady, thank you so much for this help I needed. I bought some from our store. My daughter said why don’t you make some instead. She was right, so thank you so much for creating this video.❤
You are so very welcome, and the nectar you make like this is much better ❤️❤️❤️
They are so precious to watch. I guess the Southern Ca. hummers are more polite than the Northern CA. hummers. Lately I've seen 2 on a feeder, I was surprised, Thanks for sharing, Blessings Always
I lived in California for a couple of years and enjoyed the different varieties of hummingbirds. I remember one that was extra small.
I'm so happy you explained this in detail. I learned a lot and haven't been doing it exactly right. I feed all the birds in my area, I've got almost 50 crows, and tons of little and medium sized birds. I KNOW you research well and trust your content. Thank You Robbie ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you❤
We have a lot of crows in our neighborhood and I am interested to know what you feed them. They are so fascinating.
I’ve always made this recipe. I’ll bring in my feeders (only 2 as we don’t get that many hummers) at night, clean them and refill and back out early in the morning before they get up. I also have lots of flowers for them. I want to make one of those water fountains you’ve made instructional videos of. Can’t imagine life without hummers….and many other wildlife.
You have got me started feeding the hummingbirds. This year I am going to try to make one of your bird baths. I'm so excited.
Glad you are feeding these precious gems, I am sure they love you for it. Have fun making a fountain 😊 Thank You so Much ❤️
I've been a subscriber for some time now and get great inspiration from you. I mix 1/4 cup sugar to 1/4 cup hot water until sugar is dissolved. Then I add 3/4 cold water. It ends up being lukewarm and I feel ready to put it in my feeder right away. I also learned from you to use a spoolie to clean the small holes of the feeder. I think you cleaned up an old mascara brush, but I had a discarded brow crayon with an unused spoolie on the end. Your garden is gorgeous and so fun with all the hummingbirds! We might get 4 at a time, but that's it.
We have two 25 lbs dominos sugar bags just sitting in pantry.
Now I know how to get rid of it and make birds happy. Hummingbirds are fun to look at.
They show up exactly at 3pm (+/-1 minute) in our garden. I find that amusing.
You helped the birds and didn’t destroy your health by feeding the birds…bonus bonus!!👍😊
I love feeding the hummingbirds ❤
Thanks for this info again, Robbie. You are The Hummingbird Whisperer!
Oh, I so love the birds. Thank you. ❤
That little male Allen’s hummingbird is so cute
He is

Wow thank you so much. I love hummingbirds and yes the store bought nectar is so expensive ❤🐦⬛
And I do believe they like this better ❤️😊
Amo você, Robbie 😊. Adoro colibris( circulandor de flor) , são encantandores e apaixonantes. Um grande abraço fraterno e carinhoso desde Teresina - Piauí/ Brasil 💋. Obrigada por dividir alegria, esperança e amor.
Hi Rosa in Brazil! Thank you so Much ❤
Thank you for helping the hummingbirds.
I always learn something from you, you are wonderful, I am always telling people on facebook hummingbird sites to go to your videos. You are the master hummingbird whisperer . Love you.
I love all birds ❤️💕 Thank You
Great info just a little long winded.
Hey Robbie, hope ya'll are having a wonderful day 🥰
Thank you So much Mona, doing okay today, Hope you are having a great day! Thank You Again
I love your bird collection. They are so cute. My dream is to get a bird and I’m trying to get a hummingbird. Thanks for doing this video.❤
Thanks for this great video. I have been boiling all the water for my 3 or 4 little visitors. I had no idea i could use tap water. Your yard is such a beautiful bird sanctuary. ❤
OH MY GOODNESS, thank you SO much for the Super Thanks! Sorry to be late, we have been dealing with our sweet Kitty my Yorkie that passed today....Again, THANK YOU So much and I hope your numbers of Hummingbird Visitors build, Again, Thank You
Thank you!!!
Your message is clear. Humans are taking over all spaces . Not fair for all species. Beautiful video. ♥️
😍....my dream....I just bought my very first hummingbird feeder..... can't wait. 🥰😘😘❤️
P.s Please...feeders are good but we need to plant more flowers for them. They're real little angels!!!
I so agrees, we do both, 😊 thanks
No words to thank you enough! God bless you ! 🙏🏼
Awesome~
Thank you for sharing these tips~👍
You are so welcome, thank you 😊❤️
I have figured a way to keep the paper wasps off my feeder. I had to buy a new one and happened onto a More Birds feeder. I also got a free bottle brush with the feeder. It closes up tight around the bottom and does not leak any nectar. Before, the wasps would intimidate my birds and now the birds can get a sip anytime. I have a watch bird everyday who chases away others but they are fun to watch. When his shift ends they all go for it. I have also purchased a wasp trap. It is a sticky type that the wasps are attracted to and when they go in, they are history. Love My Birds and would do anything for them. Thanks Robbie.
Thank for sharing this ❤️
The wasp trap doesn’t kill the bees, too?
We feed 100 or so Hummingbirds annually...they're so beautiful and we're always thankful when they show up every year. Be Blessed Ma'am.
I set my first two hummingbird feeders today. No one yet. I can't wait
Thanks for sharing such an awesome video. I get them often and love hummingbirds. My nickname is the poetic hummingbird. 😇💛
@RobbieandGaryGardeningEasy, Thank you for this easy recipe! This was the perfect amount for my small hummingbird feeder!
I had used it the other day for the first time and today I discovered that the feeder was dry, so I made the nectar again this evening here in IL.
Saw 1 hummingbird last month and now ive seen 2, which is pretty cool to see. Just purchasd a hummingbird feeder and going to try this sugar/water nectar. Thank you 😊
3 hummingbirds now... purchased a 2nd feeder 😊
Thank you for this simple recipe. Waiting for the birds to discover it now. By the way, the reason humming birds hum, is because they don’t know the words. 😊
Thank you Robbie 👍😃👏
You are so welcome thank you❤️
Uncles Ry-Ry and Remus said: Cool...thanks for sharing.
Tell Uncles Ry-Ry & Remus Hi 😊
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Will Do!
You are a kind soul! Thank you for the tips.
Good job
This year I decided to commit to using my hummingbird feeder regularly, and staying on top of it. I started with the premade mix until I could buy the sugar and look up the recipe to make up my own. What a difference it made using my own mix! They love it so much more. I think may have made it a tad too sweet though. But I've noticed they'll sit drinking a lot longer.
I have 3 feeders set up on one side of the yard in the trees, about 7-10 ft apart. Perfect set up, the privet tree branches provide an overhang and protection from the sun. Other side I have 1 on a hook under some trees. I've gone from having to fill them every 3 days to every day now lol. But now the 3 sided one, there's a bully. And all I hear is constant chatter and he/she will chase one far off and then others swoop in to drink. Kind of funny, but that chattering....my gosh it's almost annoying.
So the side with 1 feeder isn't as bad as far as bullying. That one still needs refilled about every 2-3 days. My desk is right next to that side of the house/window but I can't see the feeder directly. Twice now I've had a hummingbird come up to the window and fly up and down it and start chattering loudly. I can hear it with window closed. No feeders or anything bright on the window. I got curious the first time and went out to look, and feeder was empty. So some how that bird figured out I'm the one that refills the feeder, and has seen me sitting at my desk and knows I"m there, and knew to get my attention. I think it's hilarious and shows they're pretty dang smart! Just watched your ant guard video too, going to get to work on that soon as well. Thank you!!
Great job love it
Love you Robbie! 🥰
Thank you SO much
Great info! Thanks! 😊
Many keep coming in asking about Hummingbird Food Nectar, so good to continue to get the word out, Thanks
You have a beautiful garden. I love hummingbirds. I have one coming in my yard every summer Pen so cute. You’re doing a great job. God bless you. Those hummingbirds are so cute and they got everything in your backyard.❤❤❤
I heard earlier that Hummingbirds have finally arrived in my city.
I have put up 2 of my 4 Hummingbird Feeders and am waiting for my new pumps to make a hummingbird bath similar to the one Robbie has made ❤
Wonderful ❤ Have fun making the fountains. They will love you for it. ❤
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy I can’t wait to see them playing in the water
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy Hi Robbie, A few days ago I got my Hummingbird Water Fountain up and running, unfortunately I have not seen any birds using it ~ yet. Hopefully as the weather warms up I’ll have bird’s standing in line to use it.
PS. My deepest condolences about your little pup’s passing 🤗
Thank you for this video/recipe. I installed a new feeder about a month ago and have been using it from the start - it took a couple weeks before any found it, but once they did I now have an almost constant stream of the cutest guests. But they're really bad about chasing each other off. I'm hoping that as they realize the supply is steady and get to know each other they'll become more communal like what you have.
You could always try another feeder, but yes, they should get used to each other knowing there’s always food there 😊
HEY ROBBIE!
TX here. THANKS TO YOU, I have 3 fountains and 14 HB fdrs.
(15 reg fdrs)
ORIOLES CAME YESTERDAY!!!!!
I WASNT READY FOR THEM!!!
THEY ARE ROUGH WITH MY FLOWERS AND FDRS!!!!!
Didn't think I would see them, plus about 6 other species I've never had.
TIME TO GET OUT THE ELECTRIC STICK POKE SOME HOLES
How fun! Get those holes bigger 😊 all that sounds great ❤thank you
Wow. so many hummingbirds. While the video is detailed, the valuable info was provided - 1/4 cup white table sugar + 1 cup water (1/2 cup hot and then add 1/2 cup normal) and use as much as needed and refrigerate rest for up to 5-7days and then throw away and make new. Honestly, this is amazing that she takes care of so many birds.
I share your hummingbird nectar recipe with all my family in South Carolina. They have hummingbirds there.. thank you Robbie for this great recipe!
Thank you so much for the tips as well a an informational video!!!!
-to the person who said that this video could have been 12 minutes, well she/he can just leave and go somewhere else🙂↔️
Absolutely Right, complainer
Thank you
You’re doing a great job helping the little guys, thanks for information ! ☀️🌺🌸🌻
Thank you from Washington. Your video was so perfectly explained and simple. I'm excited to help.😁
Great video thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you
Thanks! I've started attracting swarms of hummingbirds since changing to the 1:4 mix. We've got tons of hummingbirds here in San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. Previously, I was adding only a few teaspoons of white sugar and was attracting the odd hummingbird or two, so clearly it was not sweet enough. I've always switched the water after 4 days, but at this rate I will be refilling it after 2-3 days max. The birds seem to love the new and improved formula.
Sounds great! The perfect nectar is, 1 cup water AND 1/4 Cup White Sugar, you got it 😊
Can I use organic cane sugar?
Thank you 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
You are so welcome ❤️
So awesome, Thanks
Finaly something good in California
😊
Thank you for the recipe
My pleasure 😊 Thanks

Thanks for the explanation on sugar. It quieted my misgiving about white sugar. I love all your creativity! I love to come check out your channel and see what going on.
First things first: I have enjoyed your videos in a big way -- so informative and fun. The inspiration you provide all of us is a wonderful thing!
I'd purchased the little Walmart hummingbird feeder awhile back, because of the great price. I subsequently saw one of your videos actually talking about this feeder -- it made me happy to know this one would work. I then bought several more because of that video. :) I wanted to hang them out today because I figured most of the rain was finally finished for awhile (central/northern California). I was wrong -- it's raining cats'n dogs today. Even though our trees don't have leaves yet, the hummingbirds are already out searching for food, so it feels important to get these out there for them.
What I want to know is if I put the feeders out and it rains, will enough of it get inside the feeder to dilute the nectar solution?
Greetings from Brazil!!!
Thank you!
Robbie thank you for your information on the hummingbirds. I've been having trouble with bees. My feeders don't have the yellow to word off the bees. I went to the hardware store and picked up a can of yellow paint and spray the feeders. It worked! The bees stay on the other feeders that I have
Great!
Thanks!
😊 Thank you So very Much for the Super Thanks❤️❤️❤️ Greatly appreciated 💕 again thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Just made fresh water for mine.
Waiting for that orange curtain reveal.
Been some things going on here, that slowed me down, will be getting to it this week..AND GARY TOO has something he is working on, and I can't wait to see what he is doing to, AND he is doing a video on it too...HOW FUN! Thanks
@@RobbieAndGaryGardeningEasy ok. I will be waiting.
Thank you, dear girl.
You’re welcome thank you
I enjoyed your video. I wish I had as much luck as you do keeping them around. Its soo hot here in Vegas that the fluid has to be too hot to drink. I did plant some flowers to brighten up the back yard. We'll see
I combine 1/4 cup white cane sugar and 1 cup of water in a Pyrex measuring cup, stir, microwave on high for 5 minutes, then let cool. For me, this is quick and easy, although I can see the 1/2 cup boiling and 1/2 cup cold water mixed together. I feel it's more sterilized for the hummingbirds! I'm doing the water fountain, too this year!
I use my microwave very little, and you don’t have to sterilize for the hummingbirds. Anything you see getting in the water in your feeders is coming from the hummingbirds not going to the hummingbirds. Thanks
Robbie it has been so cold here, I have not seen any hummingbird yet, but I have my feeders out with your recipe. I do have Orioles male and female now feeding on the feeders .
Oh they must be nesting near by, as the Orioles love lots of nectar when they are raising chicks, they hummingbirds are foraging on all the flowers probably.❤️
I used cane sugar last year and they seemed to love it. This year I’m using plain white sugar because my husband said I should only be using white sugar. Thank you for confirming vane sugar is okay. I was worried I hurt them putting it out!
Cane sugar is great as long as it is white table sugar
Bless❤
❤️ Thanks
Very cool facts! Thank you❤
Thanks 😊❤️
You teach great 💯👍❤
Thank you so much! 😃
You are awesome ❤
Nice video.
That’s so cool
Have you seen the lady that wears sunglasses with a plate and birds land right in front of her eyes?😍
How do you keep the ants away from your hummingbird feeders? Here in Ohio, we have ants that smell that nectar a mile away & they all descend on the shepherds hook to get to the feeders!
Pur Vaseline on your hook or pole, it knocks off there intenders to the sweet neckter..❤ have fun!!! 😅
😂 Normies debating animal care. Our father in heaven created these creatures for us to enjoy. Feed them. Care for them. Enjoy them. Thanks for the recipe I'll be feeding the humming birds in my area. 👍
Thank u for sharing 💓
I started with one bird and within a week I have more than 10. The mimosa trees in my area attract a bunch and they’re starting to die off so now I gotta go get even more feeders. 😂❤
Thanks for the extra info ❤
Where I’m from, you don’t see hundreds of hummingbirds, but my mother has a single hummingbird feeder she puts out every year and this year we see at least 7 hummingbirds a day that will come by. They have been coming by so often, we’ve had to refill the small feeder at least once a week. The one good thing about the recipe is we can make a large batch and fill it back up throughout the week. We are starting to get regulars and it’s a lot of fun see the birds whenever we are in the kitchen and can look out front.
Thanks
I thought you needed to boil it for a minute - to kill - I don’t know what we are trying to kill - lol! I’ve just always heard to do that. Do you not boil your mixture??!
