Perky-Pet Hummingbird Instant Nectar Powder Concentrate - 2 lb Bag - 244SFB - Makes 192 oz of Humming bird Liquid Food Nectar - 100% Sucrose

I ordered packages of this Perky Pet replacement hummingbird powder mix when I finally ran out of the large stash I’d had for a couple of years. I was concerned when I saw that the new package looked different and the color of the solution was a slightly different shade of red, but upon reading the ingredients, I discovered they were the same as the older mix. Then I was quite worried when the several hummers that had happily begun at my feeders in the spring seemed to almost disappear when I began using this newly-ordered mix, and I began to believe the reviewers who stated their hummingbirds no longer came to feeders since they began using it. I researched reputable scientific literature and found that “my” hummers - the birds I thought had nearly disappeared due to the fault of the new food - were likely sitting on and hatching their clutch of eggs. Sure enough, within a few weeks, the hummingbirds returned in droves, just as they had with my older Perky Pet solution. They’re currently zipping and zooming around my feeders for just a couple more weeks before their trip to the southern realms.Please note that one of my new packages arrived with the back seam partially separated, and some of the powder had spilled out. Luckily, the bags of mix had been shipped in another clear bag so I didn’t end up with a sticky mess throughout my Amazon box. I contacted Perky Pet to notify them of the weak glue or seal, and they assured me they’d share the information with their packaging department. Do be aware that you may end up with some powder spillage.

Very nice. Good Quality Great Price!

Mixes well and birds like

My little hummingbirds seem to like it just fine. Takes a minute for it to dissolve. Have it on my auto-ship - will buy again.

so much easier to use !! they are always watching, too.....buzzing me when i am there with the 8 cup measuring cup doing re-fills[what fun!!!]...]however this latest batch has a much deeper red color which startled me originally, but appears to not matter!!!]

I've already had to make a second batch, I've only had the food and feeder for a week or so and I've gotten so many hummingbirds. Definitely worth the price.

It mixes well but the local hummingbirds aren't crazy about it. I've tried it according to the instructions. I've made it both rich and lean to no avail. The premix competition isn't being used much either so perhaps there aren't that many around this year.

The hummingbirds love it!
