--- Quote from: DavidInIndy on June 18, 2008, 10:58:44 pm ---I've started using a different brand of hummingbird food. Ever since I dumped that concentrated mix on Cody and turned his fur pink, I've been reluctant to use that style of bird food. Because I don't want it to happen again.
I bought a brand called Pennington Natural Springs ??? ??? and it smells like fruit punch! For all of these years that I've bought hummingbird food, I've never used any that smells. At least not like punch. This is premixed food, meaning I don't have to add any water, and since it's not a concentrated mix, it shouldn't stain if I accidently spill it on one of the animals. Anyway, has anyone ever heard of hummingbird food that smells like fruit punch? This hummingbird food is called "nectar" and maybe that's why it smells. The birds seem to love it. They are flocking to the feeders.
I don't like to use sugar water in my feeders, because it doesn't have the nutrients and vitamins the birds need to keep healthy. This fruit punch smelling nectar has Crude Protein, fat, fiber, sugar, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D-3 and Vitamin E in it.
And it smells just like fruit punch. :-\ :-\

I was tempted to, and then I noticed it said "not for human consumption" on the label. I bought it at Wal-Mart Shasta. The next time you're there, go to the bird food section and smell it! :laugh:
It smells like fruit punch. Like Hi-C. Remember Hi-C? Do they even sell it any more?

They're flocking to the feeder Jess. But they don't like it when other hummingbirds fly up to them. They want the whole feeder to themselves. So they will fight. I think I should probably buy another feeder and hang it off the downstairs deck. :)
