Hi All,
=A0
My friend in East Chezzetcook who always has lots of hummingbirds visiting =
every year said that she always has put a drop of grapefruit seed extract i=
nto each batch of hummingbird sugar water that she makes. She states it is =
a natural preservative, an anti-bacterial and is anti-fungal. She also says=
 that it allows it to stay fresher longer. She=A0also puts some in the wate=
r of her African Grey Parrot too, to keep the 'nasty's' away. Anyway, she h=
as been doing this for years and says she hasn't lost a hummer yet.
I've never read anywhere where this additive is suggested.
Has anyone ever heard of this or does anyone else suggest this?
=A0
Thank you,
