- Hummingbirds are fascinating! I was able to catch an image of a hummingbird as it struggled with a cobweb on its beak. Amazing how hummingbirds can maneuver and still manage.

it's insane seeing how fast their wings can bat for such a tiny animal! They're a beautiful creature.
Beautiful backyard and serene for your family and the animals. Thanks for sharing.
You have a really nice yard. Cob webs on their beaks is a good sign. They use them to solidify their nests. It means you might have a nest close by. Those little yellow pieces also open up to clean even further inside. Great shots of the birds. Loved this video.
Yes, we've learned this week they use it for their nests. Thanks.
Mega MindyLou - You're right. I have the same feeder and when I pulled out the little yellow bee guards when cleaning it I discovered they are hinged and can be opened for thorough cleaning.
Trenchant Sometimes Oh yeah. It’s humid enough here that it molds way down in there, so glad they open.
Thank YOU for sharing your videos and your expertise information with all of us !! Especially, with us hummingbird beginner lovers !! Wonderful , DIYS that I can make. Simple , is wonder and so are you !!
I am, so grateful to the lady that shared the information about the cobwebs and their use for taking to add to the nests. My, HEART WAS BREAKING for the precious bird. I, was afraid it was going to die !! 😪💔
Mega MindyLou, you are wonderful !!! MY, heart was breaking. !! Until, I read your comment about the cobweb and how the Hummingbirds use it for their nest 😮 I, thought the birds were going to die !!!! 😢 Thank YOU, again 😃
Love this video, of the Hummingbirds, could watch them all day long, just beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Love this vid! Hummers never cease to amaze me. I have 9 feeders, but its sooo hot I'm taking a few down. Its wearing me out constantly cleaning them all. Last few years, I was making a gallon of food a day. Oh how I love them! Nature's Lil helicopter 😍 TFS
Watching a hummingbird hover is just fascinating.
Yes. It's something that mesmerizes us!
After hearing the audio of their wings, I can now understand how they earned the name HUMming birds. Sounds like heavy equipment! Incredible captures Chris, another great video!
Very cool Chris....I am a wellness coordinator and actually talk to people about hummingbirds quite often to help explain metabolism since they have the fastest of any animal in the world....I will definitely use this video to help as well....we love all of your great ideas and have used many....👍
Saw these in Canada for the first time in my life last year. Was sat near the feeder and they were coming right up near me and one even landed on my head. Crazy little buggers.
Very cool! They're an amazing little bird. Amazing to watch.
That is so cool! I love watching the hummingbirds at my feeder. Lots of drama, chirping and fighting. They are surprisingly aggressive! Once you know what they sound like, you hear them everywhere! Thanks for sharing the wonderful video!
It's just amazing! What a fascinating little bird and what a great method to observe it! Superb video! Linas
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, I heard that tiny chirp. They are amazing.
I only ever use organic sugar cane sugar. Never processed sugar 😊 Awesome photography! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I don’t know what state you live in but your yard is to die for ❤️ I live in Arizona and no where near as green as your yard 😂 Thank you for the tips, I’m currently trying to keep ants from my bird feeder and observing & admiring a momma hummingbird who is nesting in my porch 💕
We also have hummingbirds,,,,,LOTS of them. I feed 6 cups every other day in 3 feeder's. We also put up a lil swing for them to sit on while waiting each other's turn. We love them along with ALL the other forest critter's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing birds, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
AWESOME FOOTAGE!!!! ❤ 👍 ❤
Those are amazing little birds.
I think so too!
I live in Mississippi and love hummingbirds. Last year I got feeders similar with the ant boat thing. But down here, they dry out to quick. Found out you can put Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around the Shepard's hook to prevent ants from crawling up. I put it several feet up and it worked like a charm.
Love this! I'm doing some binge watching at the moment....
Hope you enjoy!
beautiful shots
Beautiful yard my friend
Thanks very outstanding. Appreciate your hard work that went into this video.
Thanks for that!
Thank you .. Hummingbird r sweetest .. really enjoy this video
this is so cool, thanks uncle chris!
Loved the video. I have a feeder in our front yard. I live in southern California and last year we had an Anna's hummingbird hang around until at least December. Not sure exactly when it left as I had to go out of state for 2 months and my husband only made food once.
This year we've had a little one come to the feeder. Haven't figured out what kind yet, but when it eats it constantly makes that little chirp. I have heard ours sing too.
She might have been collecting webs for her nest. Great video
0:42 Humming Bird: Look Honey, I'm on TV!
Robbie Steel hahaha
This is the best video on RUclips
Thanks for that!!
Thank the Lord for Hummingbirds.
Get it thru your thick skull, there isn' any lord just genetics. Grow up.
Excellent footage!
Thanks!!
We recently moved, and my hummingbird feeder needed to be replaced. I’ve been doing it for years, but moving into a new place , there’s been so much to do, so I haven’t gotten a new feeder yet. I figured if I didn’t get one for the adults, maybe the youngins might find my feeder and then come back next year. I hope so. I love your video here, it was so very up close and personal!
Great 👍 show
What a great video. Very helpful as far as feeder and ant guard. Thank you!
They probably wormhole travel in a crisis! Look at those quick lightning darts!
Beautiful Videos
Hello I Love Your Video. I Also Love Hummingbirds
Photography tip... plug the holes opposite the GoPro or camera and take your shots.
You have A Beautiful Backyard
Great stuff Chris, thanks.
The holder for the camera from a piece of plastic pipe and clamp is ingenious
Thanks for that!
I put my feeder out this year, as usual, but I'm not seeing many hummingbirds and the ones that do come it seems it's always at dusk. It's kind of getting dark out. I'm so confised over this, never saw it before. Great video ❤
Beautiful video thank you for sharing.
This was very sweet!
That is some impressive footage!
This was a nice video ans I love youe backyard👍
Really Great one mate !! Wonderful Video !!
I really enjoyed your vid.. Thanks!
My dad's ant moat is made with Vienna sausage containers that he has drilled thru to hang and fill. The feeder is on another chain that hooks from the bottom so the ants must swim to get to outside edges both then can't return to the path. They are easy to make and work like a charm
Cool idea for a budget camera mount!!
It's just a 1" piece of of 2" ABS pipe with a 1" piece cut out of it. Great for gopro session camera.
I just found your channel and I already subscribed. :)
Change it before it turns cloudy, and they also sing beautiful long songs that they repeat over and over.
I really enjoyed your video. It is well made, informative and interesting. I have made a few videos of hummingbirds and have become very fascinated with them. :)
congrats on 600k!!!!
Well, I wish I had watched this first. I just put a feeder out and I filled it all the way up. I guess I could pour some back out and store it in the fridge since non one has come to it yet. Thanks. I wondered how they would drink 16 oz in 3-4 days.
You have some amazing wildlife footage. You should put some more light on the subject, film in 4K and open another channel. You might end up selling to stations. PBS did a great series on how to film insects and using a macro lens and its very similar to what you are doing.
Love this. I know that sound well.
At 0:53 you can see a queen ant on the front most perch, it looks like a camponotus species.
I thought you might find that interesting.
You can use a queen ant to start a colony.
Interesting.
That's a queen ant.
They use spider webs to construct their nests so it's quite common. It will just fly back to nest and clean up while adding the web to its nest.
awesome !
Your grandkids are luckyy..
awesome
mine dosent have the ant mote so I had to take it down,but I did the same with the cammera got some great footage.
I will be uploading a simple DIY ant moat soon. Stay tuned (or subscribe) Make sure to hit the bell to get notified.
I have that feeder.
Hello, I want you to have an experiment on how narghile would react our lungs but with current products like coconut coke and a narghile current
Humming bird just had nesting materials on its beak, and decided to Detour to try and get a drink..probably went home to put the web away
Yes I agree.
That's a cool fountain! where did you get it?
Thanks. I made it.
@@chrisnotap Neat! I'd love to see a video of how it was made.
Chris I noticed the hummingbirds did not use the perches on your feeders but continue to flap their wings while feeding. Have any of your hummingbirds ever used them on that particular type of feeder.?
Check out Robbie and Gary gardening easy on RUclips. They have hundreds of hummingbirds that they feed. If the birds are unable to use the perch because of where it's positioned Robbie will modify it or even make her own perches with wire. Flapping their wings and flying while feeding burns up a lot of energy. I really liked your video and camera work but I personally would not use that type of feeder because of the apparent perch problem.
I'm not sure if it's more of a confidence issue getting used to their surroundings before they use a perch. Still watching and learning.
Awsome
What kind of camera is that, please
I Get The Same Hummingbirds At My Feeder
Been filling feeders 1/2 full. Last 3 weeks they come from everywhere. They empty full feeders 3 times a day. Sometimes 8 sitting around the 5 holes . 3 on top an 2 dozen within 2 feet. Day before yesterday emptied a full feeder in 2 hours. Freaking me out it gets like the movie The Birds. Turned into a part time job. Seen this in videos before first time in person.
That's amazing!! In what part of the world do you live??
What state are you in ?
Don't be too concerned about the web on the Hummer's beak. They will use their beak to tear down spiderwebs when the babies start to fledge. They will also steal a spider's web to put on their nests.
The adults will chirp, beep, whirr ~ that is not the same as the sound they make with their wings, and the babies make a sound that is kind of a click with a beeping trill to it. My mother and I always thought that sound was a parent call. We only heard it when a baby was distressed and it ALWAYS brought Adults! For babies, the big wasps were a threat but the adults drove them off.
We loved watching the adults fight for feeding rights and in the midst of all that chaos, the babies would show up. All the adults would perch nearby and wait. It did not matter whose babies were there, all the adults waited. When the babies were done, the adults resumed their rambunctious behavior! Too Funny for Words!!
Here's a joke for you.
If you buy a $50 Hummingbird Feeder do you get a better class of Hummingbirds?
Nay, All Hummingbirds are High Class!
I have my fresh feeders waiting for first light when I will put them up.
Aunt B
I'm finding out more and more just from all the comments!! Where do they usually nest? In Hedges? How far off the ground? I'd love to find a nest and video hatchlings to fledglings.
Where’d you get your tiny camera??
GoPro "Session 5" camera. They stopped making them a few years ago.
Does the red dye really harm the humming birds?
They say it does, so we do not add any.
The main food for hummers IS spiders and their nests are mostly held together with cobwebs they stole from the now dearly departed spider. LOL
Correct.
@@chrisnotap Have you tried to stand right next to your feeder when they are around If you stand still or even hold a finger just below the hole for the sweet water, they will land on it to drink. I have even sat next to nectar flowers and plucked a flower and held it in my mouth and have them come to drink from it. The secret is to just be still. LOL
What wireless camera is that?
GoPro Session
We get lots of hummingbirds here in Southern California and I always enjoy watching them feed and nest but I have never seen a cardinal in person. When the Cardinal dropped in on your video, I kind of felt like I was there.
I'm attaching a link because I think you would enjoy the information this woman shares. She addresses why she thinks it's important to supplement them with pure cane sugar. Most of the videos the wife does. She sometimes talks too much and he's a man of very few words. They each have their own garden which are as different as can be. It's really funny. He is extremely methodical and she's kind of a hot mess and has come up with some great ideas of her own.

Hi your awesome
you're
@@hiimmidas dude dont correct me
BeyondBRaylon Videos Sry m8. Ur gr8!
Get a dab of axle grease and put on the cord/hanger and that will stop all bugs from climbing.
Great to know!
I’m thinking that those are all females in the video. They us spider webs in nest building. The male has a bright ruby red throat. If they are Ruby Throated Hummingbirds.
I find these feeders leak all over when the wind blows
Yes, the wind can do that.
I hardly have had any hummingbirds this spring or summer
Dianna A - Same here in Northeast Texas.
Hi Chris great footage but that "he" was a she and she is showing you that she has been nest building! She will use cobwebs, cat tail fluff and many other materials to build her nest. I have a few hummer clips in my feed if interested. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting bird. Thanks.
What is the snack? You realize birds do not look forward because they're eyes on the side of heads.
putting some borax on the ground under the feeder will keep ants away.
I use unpasteurized honey in my nectar for my humming birds here I have a cedar hedge just outside my door and it is full of hummingbird nests every time I get too close they chirp at me.
From video taping them this last week and a half, I cannot tell the birds apart. I don't know if this is the same bird each time of if there is multiple ones. I hope I can attract more. Very interesting bird to watch. Video taping hatchlings would be incredible to watch if I could find a nest. How far off the ground do they nest? Thanks.
@@chrisnotap They are usually pretty low to the ground my cedar hedge is 10 feet tall at the highest, and they seem to have their nests at around head level, their nests though are really hard to find, they build them deep in a bush or tree and they are barely the size of your fingertip. You have at least 2 of them which means likely a nest, put out more feeders and they will come use honey in place of sugar white sugar is processed too much and raw honey has nutrients similar to the nectar they get from the flowers. Also plant red flowers.
recipe for bird feeder should be in proportions, not measurements so do by proportions...4 parts water to 1 part sugar. and boil it to make a light syrup. cool down completely before putting out - of course. i can use a thimble to measure if i'd like.
Thanks for the tip!
That horrible mantis are a big problem you have to be alert in case one of this bugs approach feeder. They are dangerous to hummingbirds
I just learned that praying mantis can kill a hummingbird. I was shocked
5TH
Ok you may get on my good side. Except they show up every 5 minutes or they are feeding elsewhere. They never forget feeding locations. Real or fake. Wasps and bees are a part of hummingbird feeder in the southeast US at times. The ants keeping hummingbirds away is not accurate.
Awesome footage! I always like your videos 😊
But I'm actually not sure, if it's a good idea to feed wild animals with the same pure sugar that makes us fat and sick...
I guess on a regular basis that's as unhealthy for the bird, as it is for us.
In nature, the nectar they consume is way more diverse and contains all sorts of nutrients like vitamins, proteins, etc...
