Hummingbirds flap their wings an average of 70 times each second. Because of their high-energy lifestyle, hummingbirds need to eat constantly. Perky-Pet® Original Instant Hummingbird Nectar is just what you need to keep all your hungry hummers happy and well fed. It’s convenient for you and tasty for your hummingbirds. Plus, the 2-lb bag makes up to 192 ounces of hummingbird nectar, so you’ll be in good supply through many visits.
Easy to Use
This concentrate makes feeding hummingbirds simple, just add water to the powder. Simply mix 3 tablespoons of concentrate powder to 7 ounces of water until you create the desired amount of nectar. There's no need to boil it! Store any excess pre-mixed nectar in the refrigerator for later use. Be sure to clean and refill your hummingbird feeder on a regular basis to ensure healthy, happy hummingbirds and repeat visits.
Red Color Attracts Hummingbirds
Original Instant Hummingbird Nectar features a bold red color that mimics the vibrantly colored flowers that hummingbirds visit in nature. They won’t be able to resist stopping for a drink!
Made of 100% Sucrose
Perky-Pet® Original Instant Hummingbird Nectar is made of 100% sucrose so your hummingbirds get just the essential energy they need to thrive. Hummingbird nectars mixed with sucrose more closely mimic natural flower nectar than artificial fructose and dextrose mixtures. Hummingbirds more easily digest sucrose, so the energy is delivered faster!

Usage Notes
Mix with water for desired nectar amount, no refrigeration required
Love the space efficiency of the powder nectar concentrate. More economical, better for storage, better shelf life, and same happy results with hummingbird visitors. I just restocked for my house, my brother’s and my mother’s, and it all fits in a compact box. Amazing!
Our powdered nectar has no shelf life before being mixed. Once mixed, it can be stored covered in the fridge for up to one month.

Thank you for contacting us!
One 2 lb bag of the 244SFB powder concentrate makes 192 oz of nectar.
Since 1 gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces, one bag (192 oz) makes more than enough for one gallon.
