ABOUT THE HUMMINGBIRD RING
Deceptively simple, the Hummingbird Ring offers an easy way to attract hummingbirds right
to your hand. This one-size-fits-most ring is good for all ages, and can be used with clips,
trainers, and other supports for a variety of arrangements to suit all hummingbird feeding
choices. Made in the USA, this ring is easy to clean, easy to use, and easy to help you fall in
love with hummingbirds all over again.
NECTAR OPTIONS
The Hummingbird Ring holds one teaspoon (5 ml) of nectar, and can be used with
homemade nectar or premade mixes. If making your own nectar, use a 1:4 ratio of plain
white table sugar to water (one-quarter cup of sugar to every cup of water). Do not use
honey, molasses, fruit juices, or sugar substitutes, as they will not provide the right nutrition for
hummingbirds and can even harbor mold or bacteria that could hurt the birds. Warm or boil
the water first to help the sugar dissolve more quickly, and store excess nectar in the refrigerator
for up to a week before use.
There is no need to add any food coloring or dye to the nectar; the bright color of the
Hummingbird Ring will attract the birds. Extra dyes are unnecessary and could be dangerous
for birds.
RING FILLING AND ASSEMBLY
Your Hummingbird Ring comes in two pieces, the reservoir
base and the colorful petals. The ring can be opened to refill,
or use a plastic syringe (included with the Starter Kit or available
for separate purchase) to fill the ring through the feeding
port in the center of the petals without disassembly. You
can also use an eyedropper to refill the ring. Be
careful not to overfill the reservoir, which
could cause leakage.
To replace the petals, snap
them back onto the ring with a
loud, firm click. If the ring is properly assembled, the nectar
will not leak even if the ring is tipped or upside down.
Fill the ring with nectar. Place one
edge of petal onto the ring and
snap it together.
Ring can also be
filled by snapping
together empty ring
and filling it with a
syringe.
