We get this question alot and there seems to be some controversy about the
safety and effectiveness of this:

I don't know that I would risk it.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Regarding Hummingbird Sugar Water
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

Subject: [NatureNS] Regarding Hummingbird Sugar Water
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
Dartmouth
