Step 8Fill it up
Fill the bottle up as much as you can with a hummingbird feed.
Here is a recipe that I found via Thrifty Fun,
Bring 4 cups water to a boil and stir in 1 cup sugar. Stir to dissolve. When cool, pour into the pitcher and refrigerate until needed.
The above recipe is relatively simple, and very inexpensive, as opposed to purchasing hummingbird feed straight from a store.
Pour your feed into the water bottle, screw the cap on tightly and securely, place the feeder up, and there you go!

What is keeping the liquid from just draining out the end?

Atmospheric pressure (I think). It won't drain unless there is a whole in the top for air to flow through. If the water left the bottle without a hole, a vacuum would form. This keeps the water in place.

If you have a problem with ants invading your feeder, you could add a little bend in your hanger wire between the feeder and the hook end. Then attach a cotton ball soaked in any type of cooking oil. The cotton ball must be wrapped around the wire completely. The oil will keep the ants from laying down a scent trail to get to the sweet food mix.
