I used Perky Pet instant hummingbird nectar. It is usually red. I filled up the feeder 2 days ago, but yesterday was a hot day and today the nectar is clear. Is that normal? Does that mean it somehow went bad?

I make my own hummingbird water. 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. No red color! It is bad for them. Your feeder needs some red color but not the food. I boil the solution and let it come to room temperature then change the water every 3 days because it goes bad.
I don't know why it went from red to clear. But I do know that store bought nectar has red die in it which is harmful to hummers. You can make your own by mixing water and white sugar - 4 parts sugar to one part sugar.
