The article discusses the process of creating the perfect hummingbird feeder from dollar-store items. Small containers like Dollar Tree's Cooking Concepts Travel Dressing Container can hold less than three ounces of liquid, making them less wasteful than larger ones. The smaller the feeder, the more of its nectar is potentially consumed by hummingbirds, and the less waste each time you replenish the solution. The flip-top lid is important as hummingbirds use it as a perch. To make a small hummingbird feedinger, wash the travel dressing container and its lid and add water until it's about 75% full. Add hummingbird nectar until it’s about 75%. The final step is to balance the nectar so it doesn't spill out, yet remains within reach for a hummingbird.
