Clear Liquid Hummingbird Nectar Ready-To-Use 64 oz Bottle

Our hummingbirds would not touch this nectar. They flew up to the red Perky Pet feeder (after 2 uses the underside of the metal reservoir is starting to discolor. This is worrisome.) and just flew away. After cleaning and refilling the feeder with homemade nectar there was constant activity and feeding.

I bought the clear Perky Hummingbird nectar and it turned yellow within a month in the bottle after opening. I emailed customer service in regards to this issue and they stated that the nectar has a shelf life of a month after opening and they suggested refrigeration! It clearly states on the label "NO REFRIGERATION REQUIRED" and doesn't indicate to use within a month on opening. DO NOT BUY. They clearly are false advertising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The label specifically states, "No refrigeration required", yet in answer to the first question above you are contradicting that by saying "once opened, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month". This is very confusing and misleading. I tried it last Summer and had zero activity at my feeder. I cleaned all up during smoky air quality, planning to resume feeding in the Fall. I'd left it sitting at room temp in my kitchen for 3-4 months. I'm in Seattle, so temps were never very hot. The fluid has organic sediment floating about now. I don't trust using any more of it. So, about 60oz is going down the drain and I'll look for another brand and tell that nursery not to offer it any more.

Terrible , my birds won’t touch this stuff after a week. What a waste of money ! Review your formula .....

I bought a 64 oz. bottle of your clear nectar to supplement my other nectar which was starting to run low and my normal delivery was delayed a couple weeks. I mixed it with my existing nectar 50/50 so as not to throw the little guys off. No deal, they wouldn't even touch it! The half a dozen hummers refused it for a week. Dumped it all out and went back my usual "Moore wild birds hummingbird nectar", and they are all back after one day. The strike is over, it's bedlam in the backyard again.

This stuff, is no good. Hummingbirds smell and take off. Emptied it out, used water and sugar and now I have my birds back. Bought the stuff from lowes, maybe home depot has better stuff. Don't buy!!!

The birds don’t like the taste. They sip it and leave.

I thought you knew better than I what was good food for hummers. I tried this for 2 years with no hummers. This past year after a month with nothing, I emptied this clear liquid & replaced with homemade sugar watert. I had more hummingbirds than my 2 feeders could handle within minutes. You need to review your formula for hummingbirds or just change it to sugar water as it is definitely wrong, voted by me & about 12 ~ 15 birds.

My hummingbirds requested I leave the lowest rating for this nectar. They would not drink at all from the two feeders and totally disappeared. For a few years I fed them the red dye concentrate (not Perky-Pet) brand and they loved it. But, since I had heard negatives about the red dye, I began feeding them the clear homemade brew and they loved it. Then, due to the convenience, I purchased the Perky-Pet clear and they approached the feeders, seemed to try to feed, but then abandoned the process altogether. Yesterday, I restored the feeders with the homemade brew and two of the females have returned and are feeding enthusiastically again. Hope the rest will get the news and return. I'm disappointed in the results I experienced from this pricey lesson ($7.44) and am somewhat puzzled as to why this product failed. Looking at the ingredients, could the preservatives have caused such a negative reaction? Will not purchase this product ever again.

I love this feeder, altho' so far I'm not having much luck getting the hummers to come back. It is the first feeder I've had since heart surgery slowed me down nearly 10 years ago. I have planted bright colored flowers as well.......... hoping they will spot my feeder and come back to me.
