[TN-Bird] Sugar/Water

Mixing 1 ounce of sugar with 3 ounces of water 
gives a mixture which could be called either
"1 to 3"   (1 part sugar to 3 parts water)

or

"1 to 4"  (1 part sugar to 4 parts mixture)

Either way the resulting mixture is 25% sugar (by weight).


Most people mix by volume.  Mixing a 1 fluid ounce measuring
spoon full of sugar with 3 fluid ounces of water
results in significantly less than 4 fluid ounces,
and the concentration may be higher than 25%.

The hummers, knowing nothing of this, will just take
whatever is offered.
