Vanilla in hummingbird sugar water
I read on Pet Research about adding a very small amount of vanilla to home prepared hummingbird water. I tried it and it's been a success with the birds. Has anyone else used vanilla or any other flavor? What have you used and what were your outcomes?

Oh yes, they love the vanilla! We've also had good luck using the almond extract in the food. Speaking of which, we just saw our first hummingbird of the year yesterday! :)
