Avian Nectar Hummingbird
Avian Nectar Hummingbird
This Nectar is a complete and balanced diet for Hummingbirds and Nectareters.
The hummingbird species are undoubtedly among the most beautiful and special birds on our earth. Due to the typical 'standing' and hovering, the bird has a much greater energy requirement than any other flying vertebrate. The heart and lungs are therefore very large in proportion. Hummingbirds have a very high respiratory rate, a high heart rate (up to 1260 beats per minute!) and a high body temperature, much higher than that of most bird species. They should therefore feed approximately every 10 minutes, throughout the day.
In 1 single day they can absorb up to 2 times their own body weight. Their diet consists mainly of nectar and various types of small insects. The main component of the diet is sugar, which they ingest through flower nectar and tree sap. They also need to get enough protein to build their muscles. In captivity, the hummingbird will have to be provided with an artificially counterfeit nectar drink, which must contain all the necessary nutrients. This nectar serves as daily food.
Avian Nectar Hummingbird is a complete and balanced diet specially made for hummingbirds. Our nectars are made from the very best ingredients.
To minimize the risk of spoilage of the daily food, it should be given fresh twice a day. Flying fruit flies are best given as live food. They also love a nest ball of young spiders. Coming back to the fruit flies, these are generally easy to breed.
Preparation method and dosage:
For hummingbirds, dissolve 10 grams of nectar powder in 100 ml of lukewarm water while stirring.
Freshly prepared nectar has a shelf life of 24 hours. Make a fresh amount every day. Do not hang the tubes directly in the sun in warm and sunny weather. We recommend providing the hummingbirds with a fresh amount of nectar twice a day. One kilo of nectar provides 10 liters of nutrition. A closed package of Avian Nectar has a shelf life of one year.
