A variety of birds and other wildlife enjoy eating nectar and fruit.  Hummingbirds are typically the birds that we think of when talking about nectar (a mixture of sugar and water); however nectar is also enjoyed by orioles and butterflies.  It is important when providing nectar to keep it fresh as spoilage will discourage birds from feeding.  It is also important that any nectar offered does not have any artificial sweeteners or dyes as these can be harmful to the birds.  Nectar can be offered in a wide variety of WBU hummingbird, oriole and butterfly feeders. 

Fruit is offered in a variety of WBU products.  We offer fruit such as cranberries, blueberries, raisins, apricots, apples and cherries in our seed blends, suet, cylinders, Stackables™, Bark Butter° and much more.  Fruit is particularly popular among orioles, robins, catbirds and mockingbirds.  Orioles in particular are attracted to dark fruits and one of their favourites is grape jelly, which can be offered in a variety of feeders.

WBU McKinney has a wide variety of WBU Hummingbird Feeders and Oriole Feeders which accommodate nectar as well as fruit.

Nectar Fortress Naturally Ant Repellent: Ants can be a real pain in the nectar. They love sweet foods like jelly and nectar and can drown or get stuck in these foods causing it to spoil. While ant moats hanging above feeders work well not every feeder can accommodate one. Nectar Fortress Natural Ant Repellent is a natural gel with cinnamon, a smell that ants hate! Simply draw a line of this natural gel across any paths the ants might use to get nectar and they won’t go any further. Use on poles or hooks to create a barrier without causing harm. This gel is non-toxic and safe for use around children, birds and pets. Best of all its long lasting. One line of Nectar Fortress lasts the whole birding season.
