Do you want to see beautiful hummingbirds fluttering around your yard? You can make a special drink called hummingbird juice to attract them! It’s easy and fun to do. Let’s learn how to make it!
To make hummingbird juice, you only need two simple ingredients:
Hummingbirds are attracted to the sweet taste of the sugar water. It gives them energy to fly around and visit flowers. By making this juice, you’re helping them find food easily!
Did you know that hummingbirds can flap their wings up to 80 times per second? That’s super fast! They need a lot of energy, which is why they love sugary nectar.
Now you know how to make hummingbird juice and attract these amazing birds to your yard. Have fun watching them zoom around and enjoy their sweet treat!
Experiment with Measurements: Try making small batches of hummingbird juice using different measurements. Use a measuring cup to mix 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water, then 1/2 cup of sugar with 2 cups of water, and so on. Observe how the sugar dissolves and discuss why it’s important to keep the ratio the same. What happens if you change the ratio? How might this affect the hummingbirds?
Hummingbird Observation Journal: Set up a hummingbird feeder in your yard or garden. Spend a few minutes each day observing the hummingbirds that visit. Keep a journal to note down how many hummingbirds you see, what time they visit, and how long they stay. Draw pictures of the hummingbirds and describe their colors and behavior. What do you notice about their visits? Do they come more often at certain times of the day?
Design Your Own Feeder: Using recycled materials like plastic bottles or containers, design and create your own hummingbird feeder. Think about how you can make it easy for hummingbirds to access the juice. Decorate your feeder with bright colors to attract the birds. Once it’s ready, fill it with the hummingbird juice you made and see if the birds come to visit your creation!
