I assume you are referring to the sugar-water with which you fill a hummingbird feeder. Always, always, ALWAYS boil the water when preparing it - it will kill bacteria and will allow you to leave the feeder out longer before the mold starts to grow. Afterward, put the sugar-water in the refrigerator to cool down - NEVER feed it still warm. Make sure to clean out and refill your feeder every 5-7 days.

I have little yellow specks on my car that is located near our hummingbird feeder and was wondering if it is hummingbird feces. What does hummingbird feces look like?
Yes, hummingbird mess is often small yellowish or brown spots on a car. In some areas these spots can accumulate very fast. I've seen reports claiming that these spots are from bee activity... but I've witnessed hummingbirds bombard my car windows with me in the car. Annoying if you have just washed your car - but I guess a pigeon could make a bigger mess.

Why aren't birds eating from my bird feeder?
You are most likely using the wrong type of feeder or food. Check the freshness of your food. Dry, musty food isn't as appealing to birds. Make sure the seed blend you are using is a good mix of milllet, corn, sunflower, and some brands add nuts. Different birds eat different foods, so this is good for attracting a variety of species. Next is the actual feeder. A hopper-style feeder is attractive to mockingbirds and jays. Bigger birds. A tube-style feeder attracts small songbirds. Birds like doves and robins aren't very acrobatic, and get their food on the ground. Set seed or scraps on the ground for them, or on a open-style table feeder. Suet feeders attract woodpeckers, nutthatches, and chickadees. For a good variety of birds, get a tube feeder and a suet feeder, and set food on the ground. Put up a hummingbird feeder if you want. Use a good all-purpose brand like Morning Song Year-Round Wild Bird Seed. Make sure your feeder is in an accesible spot, with no bushes around it. This is cover for cats. If you still have problems, a birding supply store or garden supply may be able to help you.
