NEKTON-Nektar-Plus is a specially designed food mixture for hummingbirds and other nectar-eating birds. The formula is packed with nutrients and active ingredients that these birds need for optimal health. The carbohydrates in NEKTON-Nektar-Plus mimic the natural nectar found in flowers and provide a source of energy for these animals. This food mixture is also enriched with vitamins, proteins, fats, and trace elements to create a balanced diet that supports the overall well-being of these birds.

To feed the birds, we recommend using our brown Plexiglas drinking tube that's UV-protected. It ensures that the food stays fresh longer (12 - 18 hours) and provides a sloping bottom so that the bird can eat the last bit of food. A 40 ml serving is sufficient for even larger species to receive a full day's worth of nutrition. It's important NEVER to use open food bowls, as they can cause the birds to soil their feathers.

Nekton Nektar-Plus is a food mixture that was originally developed for hummingbirds, but it's also great for other nectar-eating birds, such as sunbirds, honeycreepers, bananaquits, flower piercers and butterflies. It provides the same energy as flower nectar, their preferred food source, and is packed with essential vitamins, protein, fats, trace elements, and minerals to keep them healthy in the long term. Note that the plumage of some birds may fade over time. To avoid this, you can add NEKTON-R for red plumage colors and NEKTON-Gelb for yellow plumage colors to the feed.
