Best Hummingbird Food of 2026

"I've noticed that hummingbirds flock to my feeder every time I use this nectar. It's incredibly convenient and simple to pour, and the fact that it contains no artificial dyes gives me peace of mind. If you want to see more birds in your yard, this is definitely the way to go."

"After trying several brands and even making my own nectar, I can confidently say nothing draws hummingbirds like this product. Both my cats and I love watching the birds' lively behavior. I go through nearly 72oz a week because so many birds visit, and the ready-to-use or concentrate versions both work equally well. I wouldn't risk switching to another brand—the birds love this stuff!"

"This nectar is a staple for my feeders, and I love that it mixes effortlessly and doesn't spoil quickly in the sun. The birds visit daily and seem to prefer it over others. No dyes, reliable, and always a hit with the hummingbirds."

"I love watching the hummingbirds flock to this nectar. It brings back memories of my mom, and it’s wonderful to see the birds so energized and happy."

"This product is much easier than mixing my own nectar. My five hummingbirds visit the feeder several times a day, and the bottle is simple to use and store. I’ve already bought it multiple times and plan to keep buying it."

"My hummingbirds definitely like this nectar, but they seem to prefer the red version a bit more. Still, it works well, just not quite as popular as the red kind."

"I've been using this hummingbird food for years, and it's always easy to prepare and attracts plenty of birds to my feeders. The mix dissolves quickly and the price is reasonable. I plan to keep buying it."

"I was initially concerned when I received a new package with slightly different color, and for a while I noticed fewer hummingbirds. But after some research, I realized it was just their nesting season. Soon, the birds came back in full force, just as before. The only minor issue was a package that arrived with some spillage, but the company assured me they'd address it."

"This product is a huge time-saver—no boiling needed! I just scoop, mix, and fill the feeder, and the hummingbirds showed up almost immediately. Super convenient, and the birds seem to love it."

"I've purchased this nectar several times because my hummingbirds really seem to love it. Even though the color fades in the sun, it doesn't stop the birds from visiting my feeder."

"I wasn't aware of the controversy about red dye in hummingbird nectar until after I bought this. If I'd known, I would have avoided it. Making nectar at home is simple and feels safer for the birds, so next time I'll just mix my own."

"This nectar is convenient to use, but since filling my feeder, I haven't spotted any hummingbirds. When I used my homemade sugar water, I saw a couple daily, so I'll be switching back and see if the birds return."

"I've noticed that my hummingbirds absolutely love this food—they can't seem to get enough of it and finish it much faster than other brands I've tried. I also appreciate that the red color is naturally derived from beets, which gives me peace of mind about what I'm feeding them."

"The best part for me is that all my little hummers are drawn to this formula, and I like knowing that the color comes from natural beetroot. Just remember to stir or shake well, since the powder takes some time to dissolve completely."

"While the packaging is decent and I like the included measuring spoon, I did find that the powder doesn't dissolve fully and often leaves some residue at the bottom. That being said, the hummingbirds did eventually come back to it."

"After using this nectar, I’ve noticed that hummingbirds started visiting my feeders almost immediately and keep coming back for more. The clear, dye-free formula gives me peace of mind about their health, and it’s super easy to mix and use. I wouldn’t consider switching to another brand!"

"I grew up using homemade dyed nectar, but after moving to a place with tons of hummingbirds, I wanted something better for them. This concentrate with electrolytes is a hit in my yard, attracting both hummingbirds and bees to all four of my feeders. While I did have some issues with leaky bottles on arrival, it hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the happy, active birds and bees—plus, my cats love the show!"

"I’ve tried a few different options, but this is the only nectar that brings hummingbirds to my feeder consistently. It’s easy to prepare, and I like that there are no unnecessary additives or colors. The birds seem to love it, and so do I!"

"I used to find feeding my hummingbirds to be a hassle—boiling water, cleaning out gunk, and constant maintenance. Since switching to this nectar, it's been a game-changer: it’s incredibly easy to prepare, my feeders stay much cleaner, and the hummingbirds flock to it. Keeping their feeders full is now a breeze!"

"After trying several other brands that didn’t bring the birds back, I put out this nectar and the hummingbirds returned instantly and started fighting over the feeder! I’m thrilled to have both my feeders in use again—this is the only food that truly attracts them."

"Living in humid Florida, I struggled with nectar spoiling quickly. With this product, the solution stays fresh much longer and I notice more hummingbirds visiting daily. I don’t have to change out the feeder as often, and I’ll definitely be buying again."

"I've found that this nectar is super easy to mix and the hummingbirds absolutely love it—I'm constantly refilling my feeder! It's clear and doesn't have any artificial coloring, which I appreciate."

"This clear nectar powder is the only kind I’ll use—the hummers go crazy for it, and it's a breeze to prepare. Plus, there’s no mess or red stains left behind. I just wish the bag was resealable and the mixing chart was easier to read."

"While I like that there's no red dye and the product is convenient, I was surprised to find it contains preservatives like sodium benzoate and tartaric acid. The hummingbirds do visit, but I'm a bit cautious now and might switch to homemade nectar."

"I've been using this nectar for two seasons, and I’m amazed at how many hummingbirds come to my feeders! The packets are the perfect size for my two feeders, and mixing is a breeze—just shake and stir until clear. There's no sticky mess or residue, which means cleaning up is easy. My hummers and I both recommend this!"

"This hummingbird food is so simple to store and use. Every year I buy it again because the birds love it. Mixing and pouring is effortless, and it’s a staple for my feeders."

"Since I switched to this nectar, I’ve noticed dozens of happy hummingbirds flocking to my three feeders. The clear mixture keeps them coming back, and it’s so much easier than making my own blend."

"I've found this nectar super convenient and easy to mix—just add water, no mess or fuss. My feeder is now a hotspot for hummingbirds all day long. The large bottle saves me both time and money. Absolutely recommend for effortless bird feeding!"

"After switching from another brand, I noticed hummingbirds flocking to my feeder and finishing it quickly. It's clear they love this nectar much more than others I've tried."
