The reason you need a red bottle is because humming birds love the color red. If you cannot find a red bottle, a clear one will do. If you do use a clear bottle, fill it with store-bought nectar solution that's red, or tie a red ribbon around the feeder. The first thing you'll want to do is put a small beading of glue around the neck of the bottle. Then, wrap enough crafting wire around the neck until it is secured to the bottle, and leave enough to hang the wire from the hook. When you're ready to hang your feeder, simply wrap the wire securely around the hook.

To fill your feeder, you can use one of the store bought nectar solutions, or make your own. It's easy to do! All you'll need is one part sugar to four parts water. Humming birds of all kinds love this simple to make recipe, and it's certainly cheaper than the store bought stuff. You'll want to boil the solution for a few minutes so that the sugar will dissolve. When the mixture cools down, simply pour it into the bottle and hang it up.

The only thing left to do after you make a humming bird feeder and fill it is wait patiently. When you're hanging out by the feeder, have your camera ready. You just might capture a great photo of a humming bird that's come to dine!
