"You can bring hummingbirds within easy viewing-and photographing-distance without the aid of expensive store-bought feeders," says amateur aviculturist Jud Baker. "All you have to do is recycle some old prescription vials into makeshift nectar dispensers!"

Using 2L soft drink bottles for hummingbird feeders is a great idea. We have designed the base of our new hummingbird feeder to accept these bottles as an alternative to the glass bottle that we ship with a complete feeder. The bases are now sold separately and can be found at www.TheHummingbirdStore.com. This type of idea is also perfect for school or scout projects.

I am trying to find out how you make an hummingbird feeder out of a 2 liter soda bottle. If you could tell me, I would most appreciate it very much...
Thank you.
Barbara
