It's amazing that they can remember every feeding source during migration year after year. So cute how that one hummingbird was sitting on the feeder while you were moving it, my hummingbirds would never do that. 😁
😮y..😅😅😮
They fight so much where I live. Great video
That is amazing!
Oh man.... That is a fantastic feeding frenzy at those feeders..
Thank you for this morning's smile!!
Cheers
Thank you! Wait until January and February. You haven't seen anything yet!
My girlfriend has NEVER seen a hummingbird in person before yet its her favorite bird.
I plan on setting up a humming bird feeder to surprise her with. I dont see humming birds often in my area in general so i think it will take some time. Thanks for this video i hope it helps.
I have one last year and I was sad. But I tried this year and I have 3. So you need the nectar and it might take more that we want. But did use the nectar with 1 cup water, 1/4 cup white sugar AND I use 2 level maple syrup this year and they love them! Boil or not but mixed.
Did it ever work out? I had some great hummingbirds all summer, but now that it’s fall, the wasps have found the feeders. Luckily, I had a lot of zinnias grow in that they just overtook my garden. So, the hummingbirds still have a food source.
Avid watcher of your livestream! Watching here in Oregon and it really brightened my days during the smokiest moments when my feeders went quiet.
We have been watching from Columbus Ohio for some time now !! How we love to watch the Hummingbirds It's so relaxing, Thank you so much for sharing them. We have 2 feeders, one for having ready to set out when we clean the other, one, we only want one feeder because we have cats and this feeder is up high away from them. the feeder is hooked high on the corner of our garage.
We can see them from the kitchen window and back bedroom window. Love these little creatures !!! our inside cat Aloha sometimes watches your Hummers too.
Thank you so much for your lovely message and thumbs up looking forward to sharing the wonderful interesting video that you will send today thank you so much Carol
This is going to be a wonderful and informative series of videos. Can’t wait to learn more.
I love this video I love how she explains everything thanks Carol!
I am learning more and more everyday with your videos, thanks Carole!!
I learn a lot too, even if I’m a mod, I don’t know everything I’m just there to keep the peace. Lol
Very nice.
Thank you Carole!
And thank you so much for the beautiful red heart
Thank you for sharing!
Nice video carol. Your yard seems so pleasant with your visitors 😊
Wow, incredible.
Exciting! I think I'm going to try to attract some. I have a bunch of flycatchers, blackbirds, cardinals, and chickadees that visit daily.
Hello, awesome video! I tried putting up multiple feeders but I got a lot of bees. We had to bring the feeders down and only left one up because we have one hummingbird. How can we attract more without attracting the bees? Thank you
had my feeder out for days now and haven't seen one, how do I know if they're in my area? Southeastern Mass.
Hi SPACE IS HARD! They are here! I guess patience is the key. I moved into an apartment with an outdoor balcony in last year in February. It faces large field surrounded by woods. The last week of April..I had humming birds flying right up to patio door! I had no feeders for I've never seen them on the South Shore of MA either. When I lived in AZ they were so common! Anyways..I immediately got a feeder..and I enjoyed my humming bird ( he's a bully chased all others away) untill end of Sept. This year around the same time in April..who comes knocking? Mr. Humming ! Put 2 feeders up..but he still bully's! The people who lived here before me probably fed them. Also they LOVE hanging baskets of Freesia.. I hang part shade/sun. Gosh, I wrote a book! Good luck! It is such a undescribable feeling when you meet YOUR first Humming bird.
See ya next Wednesday! Thank you!
Many tips yet to come!
bravo.thenks
Hummingbird’s also come to the Midwest. Not just the coasts
Just hung my first feeder a week ago (no visitors yet) and using the store bought bottle of red nectar. Is it better to make your own mix or will the red nectar do the job? I prob need to find a more visible spot too as it is hanging about a foot below the lowest branch on my backyard tree.
Make your own. The red dye is not good for them. One cup sugar to four cups water. See my video on red dye: ruclips.net/video/W0Ml95tZKM0/видео.html
Can you please recommend a good feeder? Thanks so much!!
On the chat we can send you a link.

These are the feeders I use. They come apart so they are easy to clean and they are made in the US.
@@lavenderoil5085 OK where's the chat?
@@HummingbirdSpot Thanks You're a ROCKSTAR!!
I live in Reseda. I drive by Studio City all the time
Does it matter how high the feeder is from the ground ? Better to be higher ?
I can't imagine it matters, but the lower to the ground, the easier it is for squirrels to jump on it. Once they discover sugar, they will be at it all the time.
@@HummingbirdSpot Thanks !
Every year I have a bully. Unfortunately I have only a couple that stay around. What can I do?
Next Sunday's video will help.
Tiene muchos comederos para los colibries 😍😍😍😍😍😷😷😷😷😷😷
Question for you we had hummingbirds all last yr and they came back for like a week or two and haven't been back since is there a reason why we haven't switched up anything is there something we can do to get them back ? Thanks
The hummingbirds that were there a week or two ago might have stopped off at your place before getting to their final destination. I'm not sure where you are, but it seems that birds are getting further north earlier this year for some reason. Not sure why yours aren't there. Just keep doing what you are doing.
I live in Wisconsin
Thank you for getting back to me this makes alot of scene thanks
Where can I get that feeder?
Please share the nectar brand
Home made only - don't buy it premade. Mix one part white sugar to four parts water. That's all!
My biggest problem with attracting hummers to my backyard feeder is the 30ft bottlebrush tree just 10 feet away. My birds like the real thing I guess?
They love bottlebrush! Hang the feeder as far away from the plant as you can and see if someone claims it. If not, you have the best scenario. Lots of hummers and no food to make or feeders to clean!
If you have actual plants that the birds like, that's great too.
What is the name of the feeders you use?
First Nature

Queria ter um bebedouro igual ao seu.
Are humming birds native to Kentucky?
You will find Ruby-throated hummingbirds in Kentucky in the summer. They should be arriving there very soon.
@@HummingbirdSpot awesome
How does one avoid Squirrels going after the Feeders?
I had 8 hummingbirds and last two weeks none
Do you make your own nectar? If so how much sugar and water?
One part sugar to four parts water. Here is a video all about it.
ruclips.net/video/I_VK_VjNkEQ/видео.html
So tip one is to use nectar.
What food are you feeding them?
and, you’ve been feeding hummingbirds for 12 years now.
Didn’t really tell me what I needed to know about feeding them.
Lol. How to attract HB? Your answer: Have what they want. You didn’t say anything 🤷🏻♀️ Unsubscribed.
Keep the feeder clean
Do you have an amazon store? I need to buy a feeder and I like to try to do it through bloggers when I can.
