Hi Marshall, Send your question here-:_HummingbirdHobnob : Post Message_ (http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/HummingbirdHobnob/post) This site is a wealth of hummingbird info. ,. Lois
We put up a humming bird feeder last week. Normally you have to change the >sugar water in it every couple of days because it will ferment. I figured >that if I used colloidal silver to make the sugar water, it should not >ferment. I was surprised that shortly after making the nectar it turned >somewhat dark, like there was aggregation of the silver. However, even >after 5 days, it is still in suspension, so I am somewhat confused. Also >I am concerned that it might cause problems for the humming bird, if it >kills the bacteria necessary for digestion. I think others have given CS >to their birds without any problem, but since a hummingbird eats nectar >almost exclusively, their digestion might be more like a honeybee than >most birds. > >Any comments? > >Marshall
