I know that the correct ratio of sugar to water is 1 cup of sugar to 4 cups of water. My neighbor actually uses 1 cup of sugar for every 2 cups of water. She has tons of humming birds. I am currious if this is bad for the birds. I know that they use the sugar to fuel their little wings, and they get a lot of their nutrition from other sources such as insects. However, it occured to me that if they are getting that big a dose of sugar so quickly, they might be inclined to drink less sugar water and be at risk of dehydration.
