Here's the scary part

If we are talking a 1 liter bottle of water it's less sugar than in most lemonades and sodas.

Those aren't fit for human consumption either tho

always wondered of the nutritional value of these, left out by people with good intentions, but probably doing more harm than good with those empty calories

My understanding is sugar water is fine for hummingbirds, but the red dye often added to it is not.

[-] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

You are correct. If you feed hummingbirds, dissolve a 1:4 ratio of sugar to water in summer (so 1 cup sugar to four cups water) or a 1:3 ratio in winter for extra calories/energy. Don't use the bottled red stuff, it's bad for them :)

Hummingbirds need all the calories they can get. Their calorie requirements per mass are somewhere in the realm of 50x greater than a human's.

Kind of disgusting
