Watching hummingbirds flit to and fro is a delight for all ages. Putting out food for them is one way to attract these feathered friends to your yard, but it's important to keep their feeders clean.
Whether you're filling your feeders with homemade hummingbird food or pre-made nectar bought online (such as Kaytee's hummingbird food from Amazon), these birds would much rather it were fresh (wouldn't we all?). Old nectar served from dirty feeders can be contaminated with mold and other nasties, which can harm the hummingbirds who feed on it.
