Water
Water is required for all living things. Birds not only require water to replace lost body fluids, but also need water sources such as birdbaths for general grooming and health. Make sure you clean birdbaths frequently.
Nectar
Hummingbird nectar is a sweet liquid that mimics the natural sugary solution found in flower nectar, typically made from a mixture of water and granulated sugar. It’s designed to provide hummingbirds with the high energy they need to sustain their rapid wingbeats and active metabolism.
Grit
Birds cannot chew. The bird’s gizzard helps grind up seeds for digestion. Grit can be purchased and added to regular food or can be fed in a separate feeder.
