It varies. I'm not sure how many birds we have, seems to be 6 or more. Usually they go through the solution in about 10 days, less days when the they first arrive and less days when they are getting ready to leave. The less (fewer) is because they are eating us out of house and home. I go through 4-5 qts of solution per season, very late Apr to early/ mid Sept.
