Name is Kelley and I live in riverside Ohio. I made my hummingbirds food. Everything cleaned new sugar water etc. Boiled 2 minutes. Put it out and it's already cloudy. Plus I used bottled drinking water. So what am I doing wrong

Hi Kelley and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. Sorry, I can't answer your questions but I'll move your post to the dedicated Hummingbird forum, as someone there should be able to give you some tips.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

Hi. I boil the water, remove from heat, then add the sugar and mix till dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.

Hi, first off welcome to the forum. The only thing I can think of is possible residue from cleaning the feeder. I know we are all very careful with that but I’ve had it happen once or twice.
