- DIY for Hummingbirds, Easy Cheap Hummingbird Feeder that our hummers just love, easy to hang them anywhere, ant moat, with the hummingbird nectar recipe her; brings here 100's with them having babies everywhere too, and the Oriole birds also. 1/4 cup White Sugar to 1 Cup of Water, that is it. These birds bring joy to our garden daily.
(We feed out DAILY a Gallon+ of Homemade Nectar PER DAY, which means about 752 Birds feed daily in our garden.
NOTE: Most hummingbird feeders are smaller than one gallon in volume, so according to Dr. Calder's formula a typical eight-ounce (237ml) feeder would satisfy about 47 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds per day. Thus, a 16oz feeder would feed 94 hummingbirds, and so on.)

Being from Sweden, I sometimes get a question about how people in America are.
Are they Nice? Loud? Rude? Kind?
You are the answer. I always try to describe it, and you just came along and fit the description. Thanks for being so very blissfully happy, kind, entertaining, loud, energizing, smiling and all out American.
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤
Most Americans are like that, but it mostly all depends on there personality some can be loud and some can be quite some can be rude and some can be nice, it all depends (I'm American) and I've seen alot of people that are loud, entertaining and kind
Thank you so much♡♡♡
Yes, true Americans are nothing like our politicians and Hollywood trash - I am glad you noticed....this lady is GREAT !
❤That's so sweet @TestDriver! I have to agree this amazing lady is super duper amazing! Full of life, energy, fun and so sweet to those birds. 🇺🇲🤍💙
I love how easy and cheap it is to bless hummers. I'm disabled and have little money. I sit on my porch and enjoy my few trees and feeders. The birds , hummers,doves,cardinals and a host of others come and I love them! They enjoy soft music 🎶 too. Thank you for helping us make the world a sweeter place!
Paper clips make great hooks too. Easy to shape to your like. These feeders are great thank you.💕
Great video! You look so beautiful! Your energy is contagious!
OMG, Thank you! Robbie
For those already sold on the concept, the actual instruction begins at about 5:05. Thanks for this.👍
I find it amazing that the Hummingbirds are feeding next to each other in your garden. We only have the Ruby-Throated here, and they are notorious for one to stand guard to keep all the other Hummingbirds away. Stingy little buggers!
We have that issue as well... except when it’s time for migration... then they don’t mind so much.
Ohmygarsh yes! SoCaliUSA, and our Hummers divebomb one another. 6 feeders and only 3 birds at a time. I can hear the birds the next house over, chirping and waiting patiently "on deck".
I used to have this issue at the start too, but once my hummers figured out the food source is endless they stopped being mean to each other
@@jeffreydavis2578 Ours also fight each other. I wish I had the time and dedication to have several feeders 😐
@@notoglobalism3754 I got 3 of them. And it’s a lot of work
You must stay up nights to think of all the different ways to make hummingbird feeders. That’s classic & cheap!! Love it
I do 😊 thanks ❤️
Cute and clever. Love it! I do 4 cups (1qaurt) water to 1 1/3 cups sugar but by your ratios I can use 1 quart of water to 1 cup sugar. I have collected all kind of humming bird feeders and it is a pain to go out every 2-3 days to clean them all. I have too many throughout front/back yard…some of my expensive ones are pretty but either all the nectar water leaks out or they drip. I have found some of your basic inexpensive feeders work better. But your method tops the cake…upcycled, inexpensive…less sugar in my case and easier than standing at the sink washing a load of bird feeders! Seriously it’s like doing 3 extra loads of dishes so now I can just replace the baggie and rinse off the tops😊…a little extra time to repair/repaint my garden gnomes and bears😊. This makes me smile😊
I can go sit at my picnic table and drink coffee, paint garden gnomes, sip coffee and enjoy the birds and get mesmerized all over again..rinse, repeat and skip the dishes😂

Hi Robbie, I love your passion for Hummingbirds! I love feeding them too but stopped because the feeders were so hard to get really clean. This is brilliant! I found that placing the bag inside the cup bottom ring part instead of over the outside works better. You can screw the top on over the bag so it goes to the outside and not toward the inside where the food is and then trim the extra plastic baggy part off and its all caught in the lid. No leaks.
Hello Robbie! I loved your idea of using squatty containers, and looking around my kitchen, I realized I had a set of Anchor Hocking 1-cup round baking and storage containers with rubbery lids that happen to be RED! I sacrificed them for my experiment, and lo and behold, they work! I made a hanger similar to yours, using parachute cord. Then I slid a bread plate at the base of the hanger, filled it with water to make an ant moat, and set the homemade feeder on it. I only have 3 hummingbirds, but they all started consistently visiting within 4 days! I am thrilled! Since I only feed a handful of hummers, having many of these smaller containers is going to save me a lot in nectar that was going to waste because it needed to be changed before it was used up. Also, many of my summer days are in the 90s, and the regular feeders tend to leak when it gets that hot, no matter how much I try to keep them in the shade. Because these have the wholes on top, they cannot leak! Best of all, these containers come in a set of four and retail for $6 to $9. At that price, I can make so many more! Thank you! (Now I'm looking at my ramekins and all my reusable "condiment" containers...and at my jewelry wire and glass beads that I could make spiral-y, colorful hangers with...oh, oh!)
This is so impressive that my docile brain is exploding with many possibilities !! It has started getting wings! I am definitely going to have a few of this hanging in my almost barren yard. I have just started very recently planting a few veggies in storage bins. INSPIRED by your vedios😆😆 I am fairly new to your channel hardly 3 or 4 videos I have seen. But your level of energy is sure contagious. I have 4 bins already planted. I have starter plants to go into another 5 bins ready!! I am very excited with you solar fountain in bucket too. You are wonderful!!!
I went too Walmart and had a hard time finding help. It took a long time for me too get the help I needed. I’ve been watching your videos. You’re very creative and resourceful. I’ve always loved hummingbirds but didn’t know much about them. Thank you for educating us.
You are just the cutest!!! I love your enthusiam and passion for these little guys. I only have a couple feeders, but plan on adding many more. They are right outside my home office window (I have a home based biz) so I get to watch them all day long while I work. It really makes my day!
You TICKLE me ...I love this . Simple ideas to do with my kids. Bless you and yours. Thank tou.
Thank you!!! Robbie
You need to realize how blessed and lucky you are to have th!s many hummingbirds birds in your life..it's like being visited by lil angels everyday. Awww look at all these Hummers..don't ever take this for granted
Great idea, thank you for posting. Instead of a plastic bag at the bottom, I cut the peanut butter jar into thirds, and hot glue the top third to the bottom third, discarding the center third, screw the lid with holes to the top section. No plastic bag, it works just fine. Set it inside a bigger jar bottom, or a bigger lid for the ant moat, and for the hummers to perch on.
Great, thanks
Thanks for your creative ideas! You are a great teacher and I love your enthusiasm. I watch and listen to your videos as they are so uplifting and your voice is so cheerful. My husband and I thought your other feeder video with Gary looking for his containers was so cute; we got a good chuckle! 💖 😁 👍👍
No joke, I have taken many....but he really is okay with that, as long as I can get him something for all those nuts and bolts and stuff he has, thanks, Robbie
I'm impressed, and I think you are wonderful. I save all my mano and peanut butter jars. And the lids. Can't wait to make some humming bird feeders. Thank you for sharing a simple but cool and beautiful idea.
Wonderful thank you.
We have sunbirds here. I crocheted small tubular flowers & put small bottle of nectar. They r enjoying it. First I thought will they ever come. Now they have marked territory!!
Thanks for your great ideas
Greetings from Pensacola Florida 🌞🦩
What a blessing you are for the humming birds and a blessing for people like me. ❤️🥰👏🏼Thank you
Thank you so very much! The feeders in stores are SO expensive! I can now use the lids I have for crafts and didn't use in 15 years😅
I went too Walmart and had a hard time finding help. It took a long time for me too get the help I needed. I’ve been watching your videos. You’re very creative and resourceful. I’ve always loved hummingbirds but didn’t know much about them. Thank you for educating us. 👍😎💐🌺🌷🌻
You are simply AMAZING! I bought a plastic trash can and a plastic plate and now I have to find my pump...I know I have one somewhere...or buy one! I can't wait to get it done! Thank you!
Thank you. Your feeders are the best. Works all the way from the Far East.
I sense a "cottage industry" in someone's future! You now have a Hummingbird Sanctuary! I hope you don't come to regret all the extra work of mixing the brew & filling all those feeders. I'm having trouble just keeping up with 3 feeders that have to be filled every 3rd day. They love to dive-bomb me too & it's kind of fun, I must admit! Curious Creatures these tiny birds are!
I must say, that tiny cups do take way too much time for me to wash and fill ALL DAY, thanks, Robbie
I make my own sugar water and the hummingbirds do not drink from it but will take nectar from my plants instead. Any suggestions? What is your recipe ?
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON U TUBE TO FEEDER FOR SWEET HUMMING BIRD 👌👌👌
Wish we could get as many hummingbirds as you folks, thanks for addressing the ant idea
Robbie your so amazing I love watching 👀your videos on hummingbirds and your feeders I love hummingbirds myself and try to sit and watch them all the time I wish I lived somewhere I could watch the all year long
My wife Nora and i really enjoy your videos of all your homemade feeders and solar fountains. And the different kinds of feeders. We like the homemade ones you made with the Peanut butter jars and it seems the Hummingbirds also liking them more than the store bought ones. Our kids are saving there PB jars for us, because it takes us a while to go through PB. my Wife Nora and i were getting a big kick out of when your husband Gary was looking for his jars, it was like a comedy show. My wife borrows stuff from our garage ,but i also don,t mind at all. You two reminded us of how we are. So were waiting for our grownup kids to give us there empty PB jars and make these awesome looking feeders. Love the ideas and videos and you and Gary and the Hummingbirds.
I enjoyed every bit of your video, thank you so much for sharing this awesome tutorial. I love your gorgeous hummingbirds and your set up. Also your excitement just added an amazing vibe to the video 👏🏼🌺 I wish we had those lovely birds peace out from a guy watching from Saudi Arabia.
I love Robbie! You're a very sweet lady . I'm getting my feeders together thank you ma'am
Robbie, you're so nice, sweet and clever. Best idea for the hummingbird nest I found in one of my trees. Love from Chile, darling.
I love this🌺 how lovely thanks for your time , the world needs more beautiful people like you, I love those little guys humming birds are my passion we have some every year coming to my back yard in Utah , I love your idea I'll try ❤️🙏thank you take care
I live listening to you, wish ypu were my neighbor, your so enthusiastic, so fun. Thanks for all the great information.
Love your wild life videos. Especially the beautiful hummingbirds. Bless your heart!
Thank you, Robbie
Oh Robbie.. what a fun project this is! Now retired you have me growing food and making feeders! You're so fun to watch!!🍃🌿🍃😃
Now you will be healthier and happier, as you work in your garden, be it big or small, thanks, Robbie
I just love your energy! Thank you for this. 💜
Its from all the sugar I handle daily LOL!!!! Love, Robbie
Love this idea. Thank you for sharing
You are adorable... and your joy is so contagious! I found you videos after moving into our new home and noticing two hummingbirds coming to our windows and peering inside. They caught my attention. I now have eight different feeders (to keep any bullying at bay). We have several different species. I am getting so much pleasure out of watching them and caring for them in my own small way. I am now looking into heated hummingbird feeders as I have learned that one species will most likely stay through the winter. In Idaho we reach some very cold temperatures Any tips from anyone on keeping feeders from freezing and not over heating their food would be so appreciated. Thank you Robbie for your wonderful contribution on behalf of your bird friends, and fellow animal lovers. We appreciate you!
Wonderful 😊 I will try to get more up on heated hummingbird feeders later on in the year. I keep my hummingbird feeders up against the house in the Winter when really cold, and that helps keep them warm. Thanks for sharing and thank you so much.
Hello Robbie and Gary hope y'all are doing well. Super cute summer project to work with the kids. Much love and big Tx hugs from South Tx.
I love listening to your chickens 🐓 ❤
If we were kids in the back yard, I would pick you up and swing you around! This idea is just so much fun! Thank you Robbie!
I saw a post today. Where a guy was fighting bees. He used a open weave potato bag (or) . He cut pieces to fit inside the holes... then glued them (something 5000) to inside. When dry put together. Bees went crazy trying then gave up. Birds had plenty room to drink.
Interesting! Thanks
Absolutely Love your videos ! Such enthusiast, With a cheerful and pretty smile that's very contagious, Always puts a smile on my face watching you do what you do. Never stop putting out videos.
I love watching you do you have hummingbirds all year
Robbie, you are the cutest sweetest caring lady! Thanks for educating people on hummingbirds and nature. You are awesome! 😉 keep it up. Karen from Huntsville, Al 🚀 The Rocket city
Really lovely woman like people who care about nature 😍
You're so smart and thank you for sharing your ideas I love looking at your garden I'll see you again thanks again
I have been searching how to built a feeder and this is so easy! Thank you
Love your happy spirit made me happy thank you. We notice a humming bird on our deck the only change we have is we have a pumpkin patch by there but excited make a feeder with my girls.
I love this don’t you have a subscribe button. I have learned so much.
I am a horticultural therapist and I love you chairs with totes in them as gardens
May God Bless you
And may the Hummingbird God..
Bless you too
My wife and I noticed a couple of ruby throated hummingbirds around her hibiscus plants here in Missouri. We started out with 2 feeders and now I'm up to 6 with about 25 or 30 hummingbirds buzzing around our house like an airport terminal. Their migration starts pretty soon and I'll miss these tiny birds full of bravado and curiousity.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! Our budget has been drastically cut. Long story but husband has been on worker’s compensation since July 2019 and now can’t go back to work because of covid even though doc has released him to work. Both hands were injured and he is a carpenter so he may be permanently disabled. Talk about falling through the cracks. I put out dollar tree feeders which do not have a place for the hummers to perch as you have suggested. Can’t afford the baskets of flowers I usually put out. At my house they love impatience so I bought about $5 worth and cypress vine seeds. Waiting for vines to grow (which they lived last year) along with veggie garden. Haven’t seen a hummer yet. I do have these jars though! Have watched many of your videos and will review again. Any other suggestions are welcome but I think this will work to get them back. Thanks again!!!
I watch your videos, mostly to see the little hummingbirds, it's so much fun. If you have too many birds, I can send a few plane tickets and get them to my place....hahaha
Thank you Robbie! You really are a national treasure!
You're so blessed Robbie! I love birds!
So cool I don't have any trees I live in a mobile home park! I have a window I was thinking of getting one of those see through feeders with suction cups!
@@ritaholmes6962 I had one and it worked, might be worth a try, thanks, Robbie
I ENJOY YOUR UTUBE SO SO MUCH!
That was so cool and easy! You're recycling and giving back to the earth! Awesome!
Great video so beautiful hummingbird feeder. I don’t think I can set the feeder on my porch
Because it’s so windy 🌬 here in the southwest
I love watching your videos. I’ve been binge watching for the past 3 days. I love your energy. I’d love to give you a big hug. 😊
Thank you Robbie! After attempting other video's DIY hummingbird feeder, this one worked!! I now have hummingbird visitors throughout my day. AND enjoying creating a little garden-like sanctuary on my humble patio. LOve frOm SoCaL
Thank you Robbie, 1st time seeing your video and what a great idea for making these easy DIY feeders. I know what I will be doing today. I have 4 big feeders and more than 70 Hummingbirds now and want to add more of these colorful ones to my garden. Your energy is intoxicating! I'm in Central Louisiana.
We’re getting humminmoths they are so adorable 🥰
Watching this in 2022 and I absolutely love your vibe thank you for showing me how to make a little hummingbird feeder ❤️
Happy Lady with a great view
This is wonderful! You are so smart . Thank you for sharing.I just wish they would come back Maybe in time.
They move around all Summer, so lets hope, Robbie
I love your hummingbird CZcams videos
Zip ties are awesome, I use them for perches also.
We Love Robbie!!! Motown Checking In!!!
Love watching you!! Instead of an ant moat you can use vaseline to keep the ants out! (HVAC Repair dude told me to use this around my outside unit after ants blew it up!)
yes you can, but vaseline can get on the hummers' wings and cause problems!
I am also going to paint those ketch up plastics and use them.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
Love your videos , I put 3 feeders up today❤
That is awesome! ❤️😊
I’m fascinated by your sharing I go crazy I have to have some humming birds things
So fun! Every time I watch one of your videos I wanna run to the dollar store and get stuff! lol up here in Redding or dollar stores don’t have the goodies that larger stores have. I don’t know how you keep up with all those feeders Robbie is a full-time job just checking in making sure they’re all cleaned and filled! 😄🤗👍
What a brilliant creation🎆
Thanks 😊
Love this idea! Your so creative. Love your passion for your hummers ❤
OMG Robbie YOU'RE A GENUIS. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THE HUMMIES DOO MUCH. THEY'RE SUCH AMAZING LITTLE BIRDS! GREAT FEEDERS!
Oh m goodness I hope and pray uour home was not affected God Bless Robin
I like to use Christmas ornament hangers for hooks, especially the fancy scrolly ones! For heavy duty hanging, sometimes I use shower curtain hooks.
I love your channel ❤ your heart and smile is amazing! You are a gorgeous woman thank you for sharing 🙇♀️❤😁
You would make running a triathlon fun! I love the project... The decor... ADOPT ME (even tho we are basically the same age. Lol)!

Glad you like them! Take Care 😊
Thank you Robbie ….Such a smart, fun and usefull project to do …. A great way to upcycle and give back to the Nature ....
I really enjoy watching the hummingbirds feed and play from your fountains. The hummingbirds we have don"t share the food from our feeder.
Your idea has made me excited to make hummingbird feeders. Thank you !
Love love your exciting videos. So much fun to watch.
Your so cute and funny. Love all the work your doing to help
Inspire the rest of us. I’m making the feeder right now. It is fun and your so smart to have come up with this idea. Love it! Keep teaching us. I have learned soooooo much from you already. Thanks for all you do for the Beautiful hummingbirds and all you do for us. Linda
Uuuhgg ! ! !
I got so excited about this until..... I realized they only live in the western hemisphere.
I just moved to Thailand. No hummingbirds for me.
Nice clip.
Thank you so much Robbie. I am learning alot from you. I have a lot of them they just depend on fruit tree bora jujube.
I am going to do this.
God bless you.
Wish you happy new year.
