Convenient Hummingbird food and accessories can help you make the most out of Hummingbird season! From convenient ready-made nectar to feeder accessories that help make maintenance super easy. The Backyard Naturalist has everything you need to create a Hummingbird Haven in your backyard.
Hummingbird Food
All-Natural EZNectar
Ready-made Hummingbird nectar is ultra-convenient! Pour it straight into your nectar feeder, it’s ready to serve! There’s no mixing, no cleaning and no mess.
EZNectar is the only ready-made, all-natural nectar, made from a unique blend of water and sugar only. Contains no dyes, no preservatives and no electrolytes. One liter box.
Easy Mix Clear Nectar
Made with the sugar that most closely simulates nectar from flowers—100% finely ground Sucrose. Quickly and easily mixes in cold or warm water, especially in a Super Shaker (See it below.).
A real time-saver for you! Comes in 24 oz. can with plastic lid and makes 3.75 quarts of Clear Nectar or convenient 8 oz.packs that make 48 oz.
Super Shaker Nectar Maker
“Shake it-Pour it-Store it!” Make nectar for your Hummingbirds and Orioles in UNDER A MINUTE. Easy!
So simple! Just combine Easy Mix Clear Nectar powder and water. No fuss getting the proportions right, because there are printed ingredient measurement lines on the container. Shake it up!
After you fill your feeder, close the lid of your Super Shaker and store the remainder in the fridge for the next feeding. Makes topping-up feeders fast and easy next time! Holds 20 oz of nectar.
Hummingbird Feeder Accessories
Ant Moats
The essential nectar feeder accessory! Ant Moats are your first line of defense when protecting the nectar in your feeders from ants. Filled with water, the cups form a barrier that keeps ants from marching down your feeder, straight to the nectar.

Aspects Nectar Guards
We recommend Aspects Nectar Guards to create a bee-proof and ant-proof barrier. Unlike other bee guards on the market, these really work effectively! Especially for Aspect feeders, like their Hummzinger series. Easy to put on! Just slide one on each feeding port. Twelve guards in each box.
There’s a flexible membrane in the center of each tip that opens when a Hummingbird inserts its beak to eat and closes up tight again when the Hummingbird leaves.
The Hummingbird Swing
While Hummingbirds are waiting their turn at the feeder, give them a strategic place to perch:
The Hummingbird Swing! We were skeptical… but, Hummingbirds really do use it!!!
Hummingbird Habitat
Hummingbird Nesting Material
When their preferred soft lichen is scarce or unavailable, help your Hummingbirds line their tiny nests by providing nesting material approved by The Hummingbird Society.
Grow Flowers That Attract Hummingbirds
Take your Hummingbird hosting to the next level by planting flowers that attract Hummingbirds. We recommend the Hummingbird Haven seed blend for its variety of annual, biennials and perennials.
