Amazon.com Review
Specially developed to match the natural nectar of fruit and flowers, Perky Pet's Instant nectar is a high-energy sugar compound especially for hummingbirds. The simulated natural flower nectar has no artificial sweeteners. Instant nectar is a simple and convenient way to make nectar--just open and add water. The 8-ounce box makes 48 ounces (1-1/2 quarts) of liquid.

 May be harming the hummingbirds March 10, 2007
Feeding them sugar and water may be insufficient. One manufacturer of nectar says that such food does not contain the vitamins, minerals and liquid organic compounds necessary for hummingbird diets. Good intentions and enjoyment derived from feeding the simple nectar may be shortening the life-span of the birds.
If anyone knows more about this, please post a review, thanks. Tgrnry
Overpriced sugar, don't bother July 25, 2003

This product is colored sugar and is overpriced. Just mix 1 part white sugar and 4 parts water, boil for a few minutes. It costs 10 times less and is healthier for the birds. THEY DO NOT need red color in their nectar. I have six feeders on my yard and I attract dozens of birds with just sugar water.
Worthless. May 1, 2003

I have 5 hummingbird feeders around my home, three on the back deck. In one feeder I put homemade sugar solution, in the other 2 I used the Instant Nectar. The only thing the Nectar attracted was ants. The hummingbirds consumed the sugar solution readily, so much so I had to refill the containers multiple times over the season, and left the Nectar untouched.Well, to be fair not only ants enjoyed the Nectar. There were some wasps which seemed to be drawn to it, too. Bottom line: unless you are aiming at observing ants and wasps, avoid the Nectar and just cook up some sugar water in your microwave.
waste of money October 11, 2000
i love the perky pet feeders, they're my faves, but the nectar is a waste. i can mix 25% sugar to 75% water and get a cheaper, easier mix, without additives. do it yourself--cheaper and better for the birds.

This product is an overpriced box of sugar and food coloring. The same effect can be achieved cheaper by using 1 part sugar to 4 parts water and not using red food coloring. Hummingbirds will be sufficiently attracted to the feeder without the food coloring.
