Hi Gayle;

I was very interested in this concept. So much so that we went hunting =
for Grapefruit seed extract.
Found some ,but the only info we need is how large is the batch that she =
is making up. As we have to mix
batches of two cups at a time several times a day the amount is =
necessary. We presently have 12 or more
hummers around constantly. Please respond ASAP.

Thanks; Robert Haimes

      Hi All,

      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 into 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 =
also puts some in the water of her African Grey Parrot too, to keep the =
'nasty's' away. Anyway, she has 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?

      Thank you,

      Gayle MacLean
