ruclips.net/video/EUHXUTantIY/видео.html Interesting Video I did on the FEMALE Hummingbirds Life.
Precious tiny gifts from God! 🥰
Yes they are, take care 😊
Beautiful said♥️
Im from arizona my mother passed away in may 2019 soon after i visited southern California the same spot exactly where my mother an i had strolled a few years prior an as i was riding my bike in La Jolla a humming bird flew directly into my chest an without skipping a beat backed up shook its head looked me dead in the eye and flew straight up in the air it all happened so fast i didnt even stop riding my bike that was the moment i knew my mom was reincarnated into a hummingbird i know she was with me that day an ill forever have a great respect for these creatures 💯🕊
They are the smartest birds. My little Larry was at my ring door bell. Lol He comes to fly in front of me when I am outside. I love them ❤❤❤❤. He brought a friend to meet me today.
Forgot to mention that I was so amazed watching the hummingbirds feeding while you held the feeder and they trusted you enough to land on your hand!
I’ve always been alone. I garden a lot. Several times in my life, no more than 7, a hummer has come in front of my face and stayed there for a long time- 15 seconds ! And just communed with me while I was gardening or admiring my garden... I’ve often wondered what they were thinking...
They were telling you that you're not alone.
♥️
Seomtimes i have had this happen many times, in front of me or my open door hovering as if conversating with me. I stay still and whisper to my recently deceased mom who also loved them. Id like to believe its carrying a message from a dearly departed, if not mom, that I'm not alone and such simple things like seeing these fleeting hummers can make me so very happy even in a very different, scary and at times depressing world. Simplicity can be bliss. I'm so glad we here can See and appreciate these little guys for the beauty they bring to our lives and surroundings.
This is so encouraging.
@@lizgerman1238 Thank for what you said to Ana Lisa .
You are sweet and kind to say that.
I was so happy to come across this video! I love Hummingbirds.❤ I had never really thought about them until one day 12 years ago I was in a bad depression. I was sitting on the steps in front of my house with my head hanging down. All of a sudden I heard fluttering in my ear, I thought it was a bug. I put my hand up to shoo it away and all of a sudden a hummingbird flew right in front of my face and just hovered there for a minute as I stared in amazement at it. Then it flew off. I had never seen one around before. I had no flowers that it would have been attracted to. I think it was sent as a messenger to snap me out of my depression. So you see, they are very precious to me.❤
I must say, these little gems are great for depression, as they are so uplifting....when I lost my very best friend, the hummingbirds really have helped me. I have heard lots of stories about hummingbirds and other people dealing with loss and these birds bringing them signs....I will say, they are gems of the heaven and the sky, that little bird knew you need him, Thank you so much, Robbie
Some might say you had a visit from a passed loved one ❤️
I love your story. Encouragement comes in many different ways.
Elizabeth Flynn ,,,,,ah you little one. . Yes it could have been God telling you He was with you... hope and pray you are better ..
Very hard a depression,,
Same thing happened to me 😊
The week my Mom passed away I seen a hummingbird come up to picture window at her house early morning. It was only 35 degrees out in April. The bird was there long time. After that during her sickness after she passed I still have every encounter imaginable about hummingbirds. My mom loved them! Her nickname since a child was Honey!! I always say I could write a book and if I did it would be called Honey and the Hummingbird!! The day my mom passed my brother had plant inside house in same window I seen hummingbird and the most beautiful flower bloomed! It was that flower you always see in picture with a hummingbird and we found a vase in her cabinet with just that on it the same day.
Your post is so touching my mom in heaven now and butterfly hung on her where ever she would go.
That is so beautiful! 😍
GodsLorrainbow
Even your name is beautiful, if Lorianbow is your name.
I hope you do write that book it would make a great children’s book, or movie.
I love hummingbirds l get quite a a few with all the feeders that I have, they keep me busy.
Please do write the book 📕 📚 .
I hope you do write the book. Why not?

Now I know why I have fewer hummers visiting my flowers -- they're all going over to your house!!!
The hummingbird are like democrats...feed them for a day and they never go away and bring friends....!(just kidding)
@@chepibesamuel Yes, caring, giving and sharing.
One of the best things I experienced when I visited an old friend in Sonoma County was watching the hummingbirds. Coming from England I'd never seen them before and was amazed how tolerant of humans they were. One thing that stayed with me was when I first arrived at my friend's house and got the job of hanging up the feeders that the hummingbirds came to have a close look at me because I was a stranger. Having a hummingbird hover a few inches from my face was amazing!
I've actually had a hummingbird come up to my back door & look at me through the window.
I think they are coming to say hello. ❤️
Last year, I had plants in front of a window in the house. husband looked out the window and saw a hummingbird hovering in front of the window, trying to get to my plants. So we put a humming bird feeder out, and before we knew it, we were putting 2 more out. They are so cool. It's amazing how fast their wings move. I saw the map, and it showed them coming through pa. So I put a feeder out, and it wasn't long before one came to it.
You and your husband are beautiful people. Keep up the great job.
Oh, Thank you! Robbie
Robbie, you are such an awesome woman, taking care of so many hummies a year. I wish I could draw even 10 each spring. I think 6 is the most I've ever had. You are a true blessing. God bless you for all that you do to make sure all the birds are cared for.
You are such a god Angel beautiful absolutely beautiful kind loving heart ❤️ for God creation thank you for loving god birds
I have 6 hummingbird feeders (4 in back and 2!in front) I just sit on my deck and watch them. They are fascinating to me.
Wow, wonderful!!!! Thanks, Robbie
we just moved into our home last year, have 3 feeders in the back garden and one in the front. SO MANY HUMMINGBIRDS visit now. They can be demanding if the feeder gets empty!
I made my fountain to accommodate the hummingbirds. They love to bath in it. It's a big dish about 1/2" deep with a water tube drilled into the center of the plate, just filling the plate and spilling off into the rest of the fountain. 8 at a time. All the birds bath in it. All day long, I add about 3 gallons a day, due to them splashing it out.
So cool! Thanks!
@@desiray4524, you bet. Good luck!
Please think about doing a dyi video on how to make this
I've only seen hummingbirds on two occasions in my 57 years; once while walking my dog, two emerald green hummingbirds flew by us as we walked in the woods in Pa. It felt like a magical random encounter.That was 30 years ago.
Then, a little more than a year ago, I was cat sitting and let the cat explore our little garden. Suddenly, a hummingbird swooped down to, what seemed like, to investigate the cat! Maybe it's my imagination or a coincidence, but the hummingbird flew down to where the cat was as if to say "Who are you, orange guy?"
Then I realized "Wait, you mean we can attract hummingbirds with the right flowers and feeders? I thought they appeared only randomly as if by magic! LOL"
Anyway, I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for all you do.
♥
If you have flowers, and put out a feeder, I am sure you will end up seeing Hummingbirds in late Spring. Thank You
Hi, I'm in Louisiana and put my first feeder out about 3 weeks ago. I stand at the kitchen window in amazement. When I'm sitting outside working on projects, their chirping gets my attention to watch them. My projects often have pauses due to these beautiful creatures grabbing my attention lol. Thank you so much for this video, I have learned so much from your knowledge. Looking forward to seeing more!! God bless you.
My husband and I really love the round rock water fountain in your garden and so do the Hummingbirds. You are a big blessing to the Hummingbirds.
Did you find where she bought this from? I love it too and really want to buy one
When we have destroyed their habitats we have got to help them in every way we can...I salute you.
Well said!!!
AMEN
We kill babies, birds, and all sorts of animals in our country. Most people don;t care. We live in a beautiful planet. We must fill it with life.
No doubt about it I have got to help our animal survive if nothing left for them everything is been destroyed even I live in Austin hundreds and thousands and thousands of trees have been cut down to make parking lots in car lots in where I feed the animals I go out and I put food out they tore that down the other day and I wasn't Woody I went up to them mad as hell and I said what are you doing oh I'm sorry this is my job I said why you destroying where Wildlife comes to eat and I put food out yes it's not a job this is destroying the Earth I just can't stand it no more to see what I have seen animals down the side of the road there's nowhere to go too many highways buildings concrete people people everywhere just too many of us can't go anywhere without seeing one a human zombie and crazy destroyed everything out here anyways just you never see him in Birds hear
✅ 🎯 Touché in every way❣️
I love hummingbird season… They keep me hopping!!! Thanks for the tip about boiling and not to worry about the fluoride….
I miss my little friends when winter sets in. I use hot water to melt the sugar down and wait for the water to cool down before I fill the feeder. Journey well my little friends, hopefully I'll see you this summer.
My mom and dad have passed, but their memory lives on in this species of bird.
❤️
this was such a sweet thing. Awe
Beautiful! We also live in SoCal, my husband has been feeding the “honey birds” for years! He has a dedicated sink and special little brushes to wash out the feeders and does it religiously. Thank God for people like you and my husband! This is his hobby, I just make the runs to Costco to stock up on the sugar.
I like you have a great love of this bird I call a gift from GOD I thank GOD every time see one I'm always sad when they live keep up the good job of keeping them alive love the vidio
To me hummingbirds are angels, bring love joy and peace to my heart and mind. At 61 I’m learning and got my first dedicated piece of garden and the first feeder.
I’m so happy to see people care for the hummingbirds and other kinds of birds
Thank you! 😊
You compelled me to research so i must share...
10 Facts About Hummingbirds
1. They are the smallest migrating bird. They don’t migrate in flocks like other species, and they typically travel alone for up to 500 miles at a time.
2. The name, hummingbird, comes from the humming noise their wings make as they beat so fast.
3. Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards.
4. Hummingbirds have no sense of smell. While they can’t sniff out feeders, they do have good color vision. Some birds like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird prefer orange or red flowers. Despite this, red dye should not be used in nectar as it could harm the birds. Instead, plant naturally red or orange flowers or use feeders that have red coloring in their structure.
5. The average weight of a hummingbird is less than a nickel.
6. Their tiny legs are only used for perching and moving sideways while perched. They can’t walk or hop.
7. Hummingbirds drink the nectar found in feeders by moving their tongue in and out about 13 times per second. They can consume up to double their body weight in a day.
8. The average number of eggs laid by female hummingbirds is only two. These eggs have been found in nests smaller than a half dollar and compare in size to a jellybean or a coffee bean. Some species, like the Black-chinned Hummingbird make their nests with plant down, spider silk, and other natural resources that can expand as their babies grow after hatching.
9. A flock of hummingbirds can be referred to as a bouquet, a glittering, a hover, a shimmer, or a tune.
10. There are over 330 species of hummingbirds in North and South America. Common species in the U.S. include: Anna's, Alan's, Rufous, Ruby Throated, Black Chinned, Calliope, Broad Tailed and Costa's.
Most Amazing fact is Hummingbirds only live in North and South America... we are so blessed to have them in our yards.
Great points. They also live in the Caribbean.
The fact is, a lot of these facts seem kind of obvious.
The name hummingbird is kind of clear where it came from. It's not really a mystery
Most birds don't have a sense of smell and hummingbirds don't even have nostrils on their beaks so...
They actually have a forked tongue like snakes
Most of these facts aren't all that interesting
Common Species of Hummingbirds in the US are:
Ruby Throated-Eastern US
Rufous-Western US
Black Chinned-Western US
Anna's-Pacific Coast
Allen's-Pacific Coast north to Oregon
Costa's-Southwestern US
Broad Tailed-Western US
Calliope-Western US
robyn mize they don't exist in Asia continent ?
Thanks you for the info!
@@kicik5038 I have read that they dont live in Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia... probably not in Hawaii either ... just in The North and South America continents. We are truly blessed to have them near us. Fascinating lil critters. :)
No one told me my neighborhood had a "flasher". I was standing on my balcony where I kept my feeder; a flurry of hummingbirds flitting around close by, when one came up to within 7 inches of my face and hovered. He briskly turned to face me and flashed his most stunning ruby-red cluster at his throat, briskly turned back and straight-way took to the sky upward and upward and off, over the tops of our 100 year old pine trees and beyond. .
You make me so happy to know that the "hums" are not in the negative! So you are our
Lady Hummy..... ☀️🌺🌺🌺☀️
I’m so grateful you clarified so much about the animals surroundings, the environment, I grew up with so much land around us!! You’re one of my heroes. The birds are honestly in their habitat, we’re helping them with what was there’s!! I have appreciated you so much, I can’t tell you how grateful I am!! Love they know where they’re all safe!! Many blessings.
Robbie you are the Hummingbird Lady of the Internet. Amazing. I love how they will even land on your hand
to drink from the dish. Adorable.
Not sure about that, but I am starting to think I might be one of a few purchasing so much sugar all the time, but I love it, Thank you so much, Robbie
I like the part where your husband standing there with the hummingbirds that was sweet🌷🌷
They are a great source of entertainment for us . Humming birds are just more proof of ALMIGHTY GOD, THE CREATOR .
Thanks
You are a beautiful person . Thank you for caring so much! You are making the world a little better.
That fountain is like a water park to the little guys! So cute.
It is very busy all day, yes, thanks Robbie
Hummingbirds are attracted to red. They're really smart & recognize people.
But so important to NOT use dyes or food coloring !!!!
Absolutely, please don’t use red dyes or food coloring, not needed at all. The feeder should be red (usually is) and that will attract them.
Thank you for taking such good care of these little angels. They sure bring happiness to so many of us! 4 feeders at our tiny house on the Oregon Coast but never seen more than 3 at a time, not sure why only 3 vs. 700+!
Thank You! I'm in N.E. Ohio. The neighbor, who always put up her hummingbird feeders, past away. And, with the cold that we've had has killed off some of our early flowers. They nest in our trees, and it's always exciting to see them. I saw the first, of our season, yesterday! Now, we're trying to put the feeder in the best place for them.
Watching a hummingbird bathe in the dew on a leaf -- made my day! @ 19:20
That is always amazing to me too, Thank you so much, Robbie
You are the most cheerful person I have every heard, I could listen to you talk all day. .I am so thankful I found your channel.. and subscribed of course. 🐦
Thank you, Robbie
Same here. I love hearing her & I agree with her on her studies. I even shared her on my FB page lol. Thanks soooo much for the video really. A Blessing to us
Yes. Your
Voice has so much joy and love..this attracts the birds to you.
Just shows how our tone of voice affects alot around us
joan jarrette I feel the same. People need to just move out of the congested cities and connect with nature.i moved out of the center of a large city ten years ago and it has improved my life so ,UCB. I feed the wild birds each morning, not so much because they want for food but simply because I take such joy in watching them as I have my tea. I would never keep birds in cages so now I can I joy them in nature. I like how much enthusiasm you seem to have. Thanks so much for your vids. Be well.
I am learning a whole new way of having fun with birds l want to try feeding them. I live in Maine and am near-sighted so l can't see them as well. Mostly because they are so fast the few that l have seen. But you have inspired me to see if l have any humming birds near me.
Our Father appreciates you sister Robbie and I thank you....🌱
I had a humminbird sit on a hand this week. It was one of those special moments in one's life. I couldn't believe it. I held my breath!
I watched one body slam another one the other day. Since then I added another feeder and bought 4 more yesterday to put up tomorrow. They are such a delight to have around. 💕
If you have a few around, extra feeders are always welcome for them, Thank you so much, Robbie
Haha .... That body slam was a Romantic hokey pokey & if you look hard you may find a nest ❤️
Not a body slam !
That was an afternoon quicky ... LoL ❤️
Great video! The drinking straw cleaners work well with cleaning the small holes in the hummingbird feeders. We change the nectar every three days because of the hot weather in Texas. Generally, we only put a small amount of nectar in each of the 4 feeders so that the nectar is fresh and not wasted. When they begin to feed heavily, add more nectar to the feeder. Store the extra nectar in the fridge for quick refills. Love the post and comments.
thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video
Robbie & Gary, ;.......oh they are soo,......so beautiful, I thank my God for His blessed creation,....I'm here in the deep southern hempishere, in New Zealand,....& we have none of these amazing birds here,....their colours reflect amazing, glory,.....thankyou to be able to see these soo, beautiful birds ;.....

Just found a squirrel feeding on my hummingbird feeder! Gonna be one wired squirrel!🐿
I found my first hummy nest this summer in my front yard😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Robbie
Robbie I had 2 hummingbirds hoovers at the feeder today..I couldnt be more excited if I hit the lottery!!!!! ..That never happens!! Was the coolest thing ever..I also witnessed one peck off another one from the feeder..lol..Here in Pa they are sooooo territorial..They dont feed together here. ..I would pay to walk threw your yard..I'm also fascinated by them!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful birds! ❤❤❤
PS how many breeds of hummingbirds are in your area?
Usually 5-7 species are here, as they too move about to different areas, thanks, Robbie
I love your presentations. You are a blessing. Love your attitude. God bless.
I was born & raised in NYC never had a place to put a hummingbird feeder...that I could watch atleast now living in Southern California even though I live in apartments I love hanging up a feeder it brings me such joy to watch them feeding!!! I love Gods creatures!! Animals are amazing. I have a beautiful 3 yr old Jack half russell Yorkie who was bitten in one particular dog park we take him to and he will show us as soon as we reach parkinglot his fear by pulling his ears all the way back. We tried taking him again thinking the fear will go away but he just won't play with any dog there. When we take him to another dog park he races in the gate happily to play!!! Animals need our care too!!! I love this video soooooo much!!! Thank You from an ex City Girl 🤗
I absolutely love you I think you’re awesome I know you love the hummingbirds and I love them too and so does my daughter and my granddaughter I think you’re a blessing for a lot of people that care enough to take care of these little tiny beautiful gorgeous little birds it is people like you is what makes the world go around with love may God bless you for all your efforts your God sent 🥰💕💕💕💕🦋🦋🦋🦋
You nailed it right on the head. There habitat is perishing.
As soon as saw your beautiful smile on your sweet face I knew this was going to be good! Amazing. TFS
I've only drawn about 2 in pairs the past 10 years. It must be your paradise set up with plants galore.
I also have hummingbird swings out. They come and perch on it. Found them at dollar General.
I had a friend years ago that probably had 15 or 20 rose of Sharon bushes in the front yard with feeders set up on the porch and all over the yard and we would sit there and watch those hummingbirds and some of them would get very territorial and actually get after each other because they wanted to be king of the hill so to speak over the feeder they were using.
I love your hummingbird, or " bird" videos so much. I have lived in the same place in Upstate NY for over 18 years. I have never seen a hummingbird in my life. ~ 4 years ago, I made an outside garden near my house and put up a hummingbird feeder from the dollar store, and just before it became dark, hummingbirds were at the feeder. I was HOOKED! I started getting more feeders, and they came every day. Morning and Evening is very busy. At first, I put out the hummingbird feeder and it was empty all the time. I didn't realize I had Orioles in the area also, that drank so much. I now enjoy hummingbirds and Oriols at my feeder. It makes me smile every day. They leave my area in September, but until then, I am going to enjoy every second that I can with them, and Photographing them. I have also grown vegetables since watching your tutorials ... I truly love your channel! :)
WOW, you have such a cool wonderful story too. It was your garden that really brought them in, and now they have the garden to roost in, hunt in and feed in, and with the feeders, life is perfect for them, that is what they love. Try to get some water fountains too if you do not have, and they will bathe all day. Thank you, Robbie
Thank you for your Generosity and Knowledge. Love Love Love how passionate you are! You and your husband are “God sent” I’m trying myself to help them! But nothing close to you but it is a start 😉
It’s a joy to see them coming they are beautiful! Thank you for spreading the love and beauty ❤️❤️❤️
HummingBirds What a Sugar Rush of Joy!🙊
I know exactly what you are talking about, Robbie.
I came here to Southern California from Norway in 1964 and things have definetely changed. I have a large backyard and used to have a lot if birds years ago....Now looking at you video I'll definetely will buy some bird and hummingbird feeders and see how they work. We do have a lot of wild parrots in my neighborhood, and I watch them every morning and evening flying in flocks and making loud sounds for about an hour in the trees around me...Just a beautiful sight an sounds. Thx.👍 for awesome information 💞🐦🎶🌱
We’ve had a feeder out for 5 or 6 years, but missed a year when I was diagnosed with MS and couldn’t take the heat & sun. This year I put out a second one, but I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. Last year, I kept seeing a hummingbird being chased away by another, and am hoping the new feeder will help with that.
We have a 2nd floor deck and keep the feeder there, where we can watch them come and go. In our yard, we have 2 wild bird feeders that feed sparrows, cardinals, mourning doves, ducks, finches, & red-winged blackbirds & of course a squirrel. We’ve even seen an Indigo Bunting & a Bluejay this year, both firsts. Here’s a woodpecker that visits the tree next to our deck. Nature is wonderful. ☺️
Love to hear your suggestions for the hummingbird nectar. I've been feeding them for years; they're fascinating little creatures.
I'm sure if I put out 20 feeders (and no, I'm not up to that) the birds would empty all of them! Our feeder hangs on our back deck and the constant coming and going of the hummers is a wonderful "buzzing" sound. Thank you for your info!

P.S. BJ - I'm an MS'er too; since 1992, Primary Progressive MS.
Being bed-bound, I'm so glad to see my hubby takes good care of our many little hummers!
@@mswalkerdog I hope you’re doing well this year & have been able to stay “healthy.”
You are the hummingbird whisperer great!!!! IMPORTANT TO PUT OUT FLOWERS TOO TUBULAR FLOWERS ARE GREAT SALVIA, HONEYSUCKLE, CUPHEA PETUNIAS AND OTHERS
We do have a lot of flowers, but you are right, we can always use more, Thank you, Robbie
@Michael Devlin My husband planted several colors of salvia to attract hummingbirds, but so far we have attracted honeybees. They are good for the environment. Although DH said he did see one hummingbird.
Hi Robbie, I love your love of hummers. I've been reading your comments & replies. Please just say HI. I haven't seen a comment from you in months & Just want to know your still there & doing fine. A large population is counting on you. THANK YOU for your Stories, Advice, Replies, & the time you take to make this a happier world for all. God Bless & Stay Safe.
I love watching the Birds. Dailey
Thank you so much for this video, I love hummingbirds, all birds really. beautiful video
Thank you for the wonderful explanation of feeding your hummingbird population. I love them but don't have many flowering plants. This makes me want to have a garden like yours and attract them. I had one fly into my house a few years ago. He ran out of steam and fluttered to the floor. I opened a side window where the was a red azalea and he let me pick him up. I held him out the window and he flew to the plant. An amazing experience for me.
Lorena Ashcroft Get a feeder, you will enjoy it so much and be helping them 👍
Every spring we have 1 male & 1 female. They enthusiastically feed & fly. I offer feeders in my back yard, with no increase in population. I'm in Northern Kentucky.
We bought a house that was vacant of any flowers. I started planting native flowers, shrubs etc. I started seeing hummingbird MOTHS, not hummingbirds. I never thought about hummingbirds bc where I live, I never saw one...kindof rare. I started growing cut flowers for my use.
1 hummingbird show up 3 years ago...I put out a feeder. THIS YEAR I HAVE 2 female hummingbirds. I do think my yard is a stop over for a couple of months to feed to continue the journey south for winter. They don't stay very long, but thrilled to have them for the time I get.
❤
Your yard is beautiful. Thank you for feeding the birds.
They cost a small fortune, but well worth it, thanks, Robbie
I love your videos of Humming Birds. I think they are fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
I live in an apartment complex and my apartment is ground floor at the rear and backs up to a wall separating us from houses. Every year I have a hummingbird come and visit a bush next to my patio all day. I added a couple of feeders on the inside of my patio and enjoy his or hers company all day. We actually chit chat all day.
I really love you so much! You have started me to buy feeders for the hummingbirds in my area, and I love it so much , and enjoy doing it! I have learned so much from you. Thank you so much for turning me into doing this for these birds. I’m really happy I have this to look forward to . I live in Louisiana and I have finally found something I love doing! Thank you so much. My name is Susan and I know these birds needs our help.
Dear Robbie, I am so so so grateful that you put this together for these wonderful creatures and what to do to help them....God Bless, Sherry :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to teach us about this wonderful creature. I started with 1 humming bird and now have 12. Its the greatest
WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so very much, Robbie
I had a teeny nest this year. So cool I had always wondered what they looked like. This house is flower s everywhere, wild & planted an acre of all kinds of flowers & wild medicinal herbs with flowers too. It's like a nature sanctuary with endangered species of flowers too. Some are so rare they ask ppl to take a pic & post. I found out about all the wild flowers by acc ident, I was sick for weeks, couldn't cut the grass & all these beautiful flowers popped up. Now I leave that section naturalized as It has medicinal plants the native Americans used. I have 2 Indian marker trees too they point to a river & are hundreds of years old. My stupid neighbor almost cut one down on an adjoining lot He thought it was dead since the branch was bent low to the ground 👀
I met a lady buying another hummingbird feeder so she you won't believe this but my husband was on the porch eating a donut that was loaded with powdered sugar the bird landed on the donut took white aflew away. How cute.i enjoy you very much keep up helping our little buddys I live in Dayton Ohio and I've never seen that many hummingbirds in my life.keep safe both of you. Candy
The one hummingbird that made a nest on the handle of the hummingbird feeder and now has made a nest behind that little sign or whatever of the hummingbird is like the queen hummingbird now that she's behind that sign so cute!!
Love your videos. 5 feeders now but nothing compared to you. Your knowledge is great.
This here took years, I too started with just a couple, thanks so much, Robbie
Some studies show that humming birds can live for more than 12 years.
I live in Florida and last winter it was close to freezing one morning and I had taken my 1 humming bird feeder down to clean and refill! While they were waiting for me to put the feeder back up I saw one of them going to just the red and orange Christmas lights I had put up trying to feed on them! I hurried up and got the clean full feeder back up and they wasted no time getting to it and drinking for a long time! So precious!
God Bless You, I wish their were many more people like yourself and your husband.
You are SO kind, thank you so much!
I got 1 hummingbird to come to my feeder. Better than nothing I guess. UPDATE. I thought it was 1. But now they are coming 1 at a time, but about every 20mins thru the day. Just gotta be outside to see them. I know they are diff hummers. And so it begins. I will put my feeder out next yr too:)
That is how it starts, that is GREAT! If it is a male, he will be looking for the girls, IF it is a girl, when she nest, she will bring the babies to your feeder....THANKS, Robbie
Please visit sri lanka😊
I had one hummer in my yard for the flowers. He or she loved the Cat Whiskers. I finally got a feeder and had to move it twice because no body came. Finally I have a visitor but its right in the sun. It must be hot.
I had one at beginning of spring last year. By summer there were 2. This year I have at least 3...my neighbors kid sat on my porch and told me he saw 15 in 20 min. I am so excited!!
@@nancyfahey7518 the food will spoil faster in the sun 😣 so semishady is good
Wow, such a great video, beautiful up close footage of hummingbirds. Thank you!
Do you have to boil the water?
Thank you for caring for the little defenseless hummingbirds. Inspirational story. ❤❤❤
I love wild life. You are one of the chosen ones. My mom once said, if you feed God's birds, God will feed you.
Oh, I love that! Thanks
I have about 15 hummingbirds in my backyard. They love red sage (salvia). There's plenty of food source for hummingbirds without nectar feeders. Hummingbirds also eat tons of insects. I do use feeders! Long before feeders, hummingbird birds existing & thrived. Great video & very informative. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE clean your feeders, mold will kill the hummingbirds. ALSO NEVER NEVER put a open container of nectar, if they get nectar on their wings or body it can be devastating & kill the bird
Jim Rylander YES, please clean your feeders, very important. We wouldn’t want to drink out of a moldy glass. They don’t either.
I use a bottle brush (from the dollar store) for some of my feeders that are hard to get inside. A little white vinegar, so cheap. Rinse WELL.
No “organic sugar”. Organic sugar like brown sugar has molasses, which has iron and is toxic to hummingbirds.
White Cane sugar is the only sugar to use for hummers, thanks, Robbie
Mine thrive on the cheapest sugar, which is made from beets. For years I gave them cane sugar, but switched to the other several years ago. The same birds are still coming and last year when freezing I was feeding between 11-20 all day long. No organic sugar.
Gary Lane thank you for that info.
I use organic cane sugar and I'm looking at the ingredients. Not seeing anything about molasses. The thing is that regular cane sugar is very high in glyphosate (used in roundup). I'm assuming birds, like us, have some kind of gut flora and glyphosate would damage that. I feel like I could be wrong though because obviously the birds are thriving on the regular cane sugar. Either way, organic cane sugar is what I buy and I think I will keep using it. The ingredients just says "Organic Cane Sugar" and it's not very dark, just obviously not bleached.
This is so awesome seeing this for the first time. My property has many of their nest and they frequent the few birdbath's I have. I just need a feeder, then more as I learn as I go. Thanks for the encouragement.
The first time I remember seeing a hummingbird, I was in my 40's; the little bird flew up, hovered right at my eye level, bobbed up and down for a few seconds, and took off. We built a small pond 8 yrs ago, and recently have seen a few hummers, but the waterfall at the pond is to strong for them. You have inspired me to put up a feeder and birdbath! After we put in the feeder, we saw one or two regularly...then I got the pump for a hummer-bird-bath! We had some setbacks, problems with supplies, etc... BUT ON SATURDAY....I had everything set, attached the solar panel, watched the water come up and spill out THEN I turned around, saw a little hummer fly up, hover at eye level, bobbed up and down de ja vu! I said "I have something for you!"
We love to watching Hummingbirds in my backyard..in Chino hills
I put hummingbird feeder in my back yard and addition 3 feeder ..there are more hummingbird coming in my garden.
I am so happy to see them.
Thank you so much for your tips
God bless you 😊
Great vidieo! Your blessed to have so many! I've lived in the same location in central Texas for 30 years. I only get 2 or 3 that come every year. A friend that lives 20 miles north has many more that visit. Maybe they favor certain areas or there's other food sources around here. But the few that I do have I appreciate!
I have been feeding multiple generations of Ruby-Throated hummingbirds here in Minnesota for decades. I never boil the water. It isn't necessary. 1/4 cup sugar to 1 cup of water (no red dye) and the sugar dissolves easy enough with a little stirring. The hummers love it!
It just seems to me, whenever I do not start it off with some boiled or hot water, just does not dissolve quick enough to go clear, thanks, Robbie
Furlvr, can you use coconut sugar? Would they like it better? What about honey or maple syrup? I had a hummingbird come right up to my face & hover there as if to say " hey, where's my food? " we had just moved in I assume the previous owner fed the birds as lots of birds come up right next to me and sing as if they're asking for good too?
@@puzzlepeaces8940 she states in the video, no honey. Just plain sugar water is all they need.
NO honey or maple syrup !!! NO juices or Kool-aide either !! Just sugar water 👍
@@puzzlepeaces8940 My understanding is that the birds have a difficult time assimilating the honey, maple syrups, etc. I cant speak to the coconut sugars, they may be fine too as people use cane sugar, and beet sugar with equal success. I've also wondered about natural brown sugar as it is less refined with more nutrients left in it, but haven't tried that.
WARNING!! DO NOT WATCH AND TRY TO WORK AT THE SAME TIME!! LOL! I LOOOOOVE YOUR VIDEO!! I had to stop what I was doing to watch! I just started with my first feeder and I'm about to get two more. Thank you for all you do for the hummingbirds and for all your fabulous ideas! God bless you!
I love watching my birds. ❤
Me too 😊❤️ thanks
Very informative video. I liked it. I'm in Central Florida and I have 8 feeders in my yard and garden. I even have one under my papaya plant. I couldn't get the flower blossoms to get pollinated. I put a hummingbird feeder under the papaya tree and the bees were attracted to the sugar water. I now have 5 papaya fruits! 😃 Keep up the good work with the hummingbirds.
So cool, the bees came and did their job! Thanks, Robbie
Is there a link I can show You the location of my feeders? Had a couple of visits in a week in CO.
