🧾 Frequently Asked Questions
❓What species of hummingbird is this?
This is an Allen's Hummingbird which normally breeds on the West coast of the United States and Mexico, although the bird has been spotted in other areas of the southern United States.
❓Does this mother hummingbird have a name?
The contest to name our mother hummingbird is over! And the winner is... EMERALD (40% of 970 votes). We wish the best for Emerald and her babies!
❓When was the first and the second hatch?
The first egg hatched at 1:29pm on February 7.
The second egg hatched at 10:40am on February on February 8.
❓What day was the first hummingbird egg laid?
The first egg was laid on January 19 and the second on January 21.
❓How long will it take the baby hummingbirds to leave the nest?
The juvenile hummingbirds will fledge between 18 to 28 days after they hatched.
❓What is the nest made from?
The nest is made from grasses and small twigs filled in with soft and fluffy fibre that the mother hummingbird finds on fuzzy plants like seed pods, dandelion down, cottonwood and the like. The nest is held together with spider silk and is soft and spongy to accommodate the rapidly increasing size of the baby birds. To camouflage the nest she put paint chips on the outside to try to blend in with the house.
❓How can I help with the nest building?
You can supply soft material for the mother hummingbird to use in her nest. You can buy nesting material for your hummingbird here: amzn.to/3qMImAM
❓Will the nest be used again?
This same location has been used for a few years. Hummingbirds often have two or three clutches per year, so when these babies fly away we might not be finished for the season!

Beautiful! My mother passed may 23rd. Her favorite thing in the world was to sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds! I'd like to think she's free of her painful body, and out there flying around having so much fun with the hummingbirds now. She is very loved and will be missed very much also!
Sorry for your loss…your Mother is very well and God has shown her many marvelous things. She is happy and enjoys being with her ancestors from hundreds of years ago. Do not worry, your Mother is in a wonderful place, my Mother is there also. Live your life to the fullest as we will see them again!!
Yes - she is free of the pain of her earthly body ... It is just a shell - like the shell of the hummingbirds. She is broken free, and she is with you - the essence of love and joy.

So sorry for your loss but happy for heaven’s gain. ✝️
Erin, my son died age 31 in 2018. The night before he passed he told me don’t forget mom to buy hummingbird feeders! He was going back to his apartment in Philadelphia my husband was taking him. I still have his sweaty kiss on my cheek as he had just been planting till late at night he loves the outdoors he loved nature and he was very in tune with hummingbirds which I didn’t really know that he had been. But he always saw me feeding our little birds in a nest and since a young age I brought him into nature, The pain of his life is so great I will never be the same. But I have hummingbird feeders and that would be hold in April after he had passed about a week after the hummingbirds came I stayed outside here in Southeastern Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and by the time the summers and I had the hummingbirds eating out of my hand in a bowl. I have so many videos and I have so many little things that remind me of him that are hummingbird related. I’m sorry for your loss. We only get one mother in life and it’s so hard when they are gone and we love them so much. My mother died in 2014 she was the one that led us onto the nature journey and I took it from there and my son took it even further loving plants and nature. It’s been so hard for me being on medication’s a few grief groups, therapy …everything but nothing brings your child back. God bless you. And God bless your mother. I hope that I see hummingbirds in heaven with my son one day and I hope your mother has them flying around her in heaven!
I'm going on 70 yr's old, & no matter how long I'm blessed with life, I will NEVER ever-ever lose my awe & passion for nature...Thank you so much for posting this sweet footage...
I'm two years older than you and I feel the same way!
@@HummingbirdSpot In case you could use a little chuckle...The 1st time I ever saw a Hummingbird, (well over 55 yr's ago) I literally thought it was a large flying "insect" of some sort...Thus my fascination for Hummingbirds began... *: )* I so enjoy watching them...
Isn't Marie itself just amazing 😊 I would rather be out in nature than with people. Animals don't stab you in the back but people will
My Dad loved hummingbirds. He passed in 2000. When my husband & I started build our log cabin ourselves, a single hummingbirds would come everyday, fly around the house as if it was checking our progress, then come to each of us in turn & fly away. This went on as long as we were working on the house. I always said, it was Dad coming by to see us. He also loved woodwork. Due to circumstances, we had to stop building for a few years. Our little hummingbird friend quit coming by. Then when we started working on the house again, the 3rd day we had a visitor. I'd like to think , it was Dad coming back, as if to say, it's about time yall finished the house. Unfortunately, I lost my husband to cancer last year and no we never got the house finished. 😞
I love sitting on my porch in the morning early sipping my coffee and watching the male and female that feed at my 2 story hummingbird feeder. It makes my day.
See m see no see m see no mm mm de.
Wow 2 story feeder huh? Must be some pretty gigantic hummingbirds you've got there!
@@Shadow-In-The-East why do you say that? It is a feeder on top of a feeder. How can you equate size of hummingbird with quantity of how many can feed at one time.
Enjoy.
Birds are the architects of the animal kingdom. Their nests are delicate yet sturdy. Imagine building a house with just a beak. 🐦
And the really amazing thing is that it genetic knowledge; there are no birdie textbooks or classes to learn nest building. Their life is virtually 100% dependent on instinctive behavior.
I know right! Agree
They do it just beak-ause. 😀
@@mikeymasticator5948 l I have a gathering cuz I said we'll plan on coming to the gathering she said we have not had a gathering in 10 years old I have no idea how many people show up maybe just bring a small dish or a dessert I may try that let's see Jessica gave me a recipe that her daughter at least I don't get this real and put some good tiny spoonful that she said just melts in your mouth cooking about 10 minutes take it from it some of the lots of experience and doing that trying s*** don't think I tried before we take it okay this weekend
Loved this video. It is so cool watching these tiny little come into the world. One of God's many wonders!
Sweetest, most heart warming thing I have seen in months. Love this!!
What are the best Perrenials I should plant to attract hummingbirds???
@@meredithquitno8244 Butterfly weed. mine has hummingbirds all the time
@@meredithquitno8244 We have petunias & our hummer’s love them!
That hummingbird nest being on Christmas lights really puts in to perspective how tiny the nest is!
I was thinking the same. Those lights are no bigger than a finger tip imo. What a precious sight to see, praise YAHUAH!
Yes indeed it sure does that. Amazing how tiny they are.
And I love how she muted the nearby bulbs by wrapping them in electrical tape. Bet the hummers like them a lot better that way too; rather than shining into their eyes every hour of the night. Muted, they still give warmth.
Right! and also the intelligence! parking her nest on a heat source! amazing 🤩
I enjoyed several years having a hummingbird make her nest in the bottom of my heart wind chime. A beautiful sight to see. I watched the babies hatch and the mom feeding them. I always felt honored that she picked my wind chime. I feed hummingbirds daily now. They give me such joy…
Living on a 370 (+/-) acres forested "farm" with perhaps 50 acres ate in green grass pastures I often sit under the carport and watch a humming bird who flies about within easy sight. It often disappears into deep throated blooms and dances around for a few seconds before moving on to another flower. Took my phone camera and was able to capture her both in the flower and flying by close to its petles. At 84 at his has been such an awesome experience. God truly blesses. Peaceful and sweetness in abundance. Praying this joyfulness upon each and all... God is good... Indeed!
Lucky you!
@@janhallmark2790 God is good indeed, love his work and look forward to more!
Animals are not dumb people are
@@ouiroc Haha! Love your name! Hahaha! 👍. Agreed
So clever how she built the nest right on top of a christmas light. It's a built-in incubator for her!!
very resourceful
Smart little mom!
And yet humans can't take care of their kids!

Awesome
a rare glimpse upon such a beautiful creature…thankyou🌸
As a 54-year-old disabled man I’ve taken up birdwatching 13 years ago in my backyard abode. I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed getting to appreciate birds of all species with hummingbirds among my favorites. Ruby red throat’s here in Georgia, I have to say, I would love to be able to put a nest cam like yours out. Of course I would never find the nest to begin with. I clicked on your video and watched with fascination but it is you who made the video so interesting. Such a lovely manner you have. As one poster said, what a blessing you are. Thank you.
I recently watched a mother hummingbird build nest, hatch eggs and raise both birds till their first flight, now she has returned to the nest again, I feel blessed to have whiteness this cycle of life.
Watching this Momma Hummingbird shows us is that there is a Divine! How very humbling,,,,,
I held a hummingbird once for about 5 min. It got into my screen porch. I had to get a broom to subdue it and it passed out. I held it outside stroking its head until it took off like a light. I felt honored to have held it.
I helped a hummingbird once..he flew into our picture window and was dazed & laying in the sidewalk so I made him a little nest of fur balls in a tissue box and set him up in a hanging flower planter for safety as our neighbors cats are always around...
He fought as he didn't want to be picked up but later he was gone from the hanger and I was so greatful that he was ok!🐦💚🐦
For a gruff kiwi bloke,(new Zealander) this sure was heart softening to watch and a sweet testament to the perfection of creation,can't wait to watch it again with the kids.
Thankyou
Almost teared up watching the second egg hatch, its just such a precious moment in time ❤💚
I thought of how we humans worry so about childbirth and rearing. Yet this little bird takes such fabulous care of these little hatchlings. So sweet!
I cried like a baby to see this miracle of life on this Jewel of the Universe, Planet Earth
So cute, they're no bigger than a bulb. Bless their teeny little hearts.
come on: teeny widdle hearts. Put my feeder out a week ago in SE Michigan & no takers so far.
@@Homer19521 Isn't it too early in Michigan?
They musta read my comments. Several showed up within hours after posting!! One was a real widdle guy.
The size of tic tacs
I have a female that comes into my tin carport everyday I'll go out and talk with her and she squeaks back at it me every time I talk with her so cool she's a little aerobatic clown putting on a show for me every time I come out always the best part of my day
I breed Quaker parrots and just love watching the parents care for them from laying the eggs to feeding. Just so you know, the last 24-48 hours before hatching the parents stop turning the eggs. That’s why mom was able to have a night out before committing to feeding hungry babies for the next 6-8 weeks. 🥰😍
My mom loved these she passed 11 years ago from overdose not the way I expected to lose her and not ever say goodbye miss her lots when I see these I fill her it makes my days 🥰miss u mom love you
I'm in awe looking at these feeders with so many hummingbirds harmoniously sitting side by side, around the feeders. I've got 2 feeders, one that feeds 4 hammers and one that feeds just one. I have rarely seen them sharing; they are incredibly
territorial. There's usually one who "owns" the feeder and scares all others away.
These birds have given all of that up years ago. Fights have been won and lost over generations. They still fight, but at "swarm time" they know there is enough for everyone and they just fill up for the night.
Ml h
My hummingbirds never share the feeder and are extremely territorial.
Sic how they'll headbutt a smaller hummingbird @ their max flying speed....
Bless you, lady, for having this video available. Wonderous life being hatched. Awesome mother!!!
What an amazing video!
Thank you for posting it for the world to see just how awesome these little creatures hatch & care for their young... 😍
Why am I here? Who cares! This was so precious. It made me smile and tear up a little. What more can I ask for? Thank you, and God bless.
That was so beautiful thank you Lady B
😍🤩💝
I know it was a worrisome time when Emerald left, but I'm so thankful they're doing well right now. I missed Hatch #1 by minutes, and Hatch #2 by about an hour, but I know everyone who saw it happening live was thrilled! What a beautiful story thus far. Very grateful that this moment has been shared.
So sweet to hear a hummingbirds birthday happening on my own! Awesome! We don’t think about God’s creatures sharing our own special days!💕
This is AMAZING!!!!! Omg❤️ Circle of life 😍... And the mom just knows why to do... omg Nothing like a mother’s love 💕
You're so lucky!!! It's a privilege to have one of these beautiful creatures nesting so close to your home. ❤
A very dear friend of mine was a Hummingbird rehabber for a longvwhile here in So California. Her care, her set, and of course, her hummers were just amazing! 💖💖💖💖💖

Humming birds are so beautiful and the Humming sound their wings make 😍. She built a beautiful nest in the best place.
My Mom planted a garden in the front of our house. The Windows were down stairs in the TV room.
She plated lots of red Salvia. The Hummingbirds were all over it. When we knelt on the couch backwards we could watch all the Hummingbirds and they never saw us.
Long story
Great Loving Mom
Miss You Mom 🙏🏼
And...her Mom was a Great Bird Lover
Especially Jason
Sorry so long, I guess I
needed to let it fly
Let it fly! I miss my mom also.
I love this. I live in Southeastern Mo. Where our hummers start showing up in April and then leave around the end of Aug. I look forward to their migration. I get tens of babies at the feeders trying out their wings and territory skills but I've never seen a freshly hatched one. I love this.
A priest's old sister had me accompany her to her lakeside vacation cottage that she built by hand (except the roof) out of stones that she handpicked. Somewhere in Ontario, I don't recall where. There were hummingbirds visiting all the time that I was there. Beautiful creatures. Too bad I didn't have the zoom lens to take their pics.
Never seen these birds in person since then. What a privilege that was. So thankful. I won't forget that time.
What a relief when she came back. What if something had happened to her? It will be so much fun watching their progress.
My mum would’ve adored this channel! My maiden name was Hummer, so hummingbirds were a big deal.
We keep bees and plant a lot of pollinator-friendly plants, so we often see little hummers in the summer.
Totally awesome! We are in Myrtle Creek, Or., have 3 feeders plus a 4-“unit” sparrow nest with lots of feed. I am 81, my wife 76, and each year we rejoice in the varied species we see and the incredible beauty our God created! Bless you and your work! 😎🌷🇺🇸🙏
We had swallows built a nest in our utility one year and had 3 chicks and mum and dad swallow looked after them so well, feeding them constantly... Never leaving them during their time... And eventually they fledged, all 3...it was really beautiful. Greetings from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪
This is the first year I've had hummingbirds. I first noticed them around my flower bed so, of course, I got a couple feeders. They're right out on deck so I can see them all the time. My husband was sitting out there. He had a hat with a leaf on it. One of them actually tried to peck it. He was very excited that it came so close! Hopefully more will come now that the feeders are here for them.
This is a really well put together video and channel, it interests me too because I am beginning to train the humming birds at my house to not be scared of me. I sit inches away from them and they love me now.
How do you get them to get used to you? The hummingbirds in my front yard are clearly upset when I sit outside to watch them.
@@dewick134 Yeah,. I can’t Train wild birds,. Frankly I don’t think anyone can! But I do sit outside & they fly right up to me! I think you just have to sit outside,. Be perfectly still & quiet! They will get use to you! Mine fly all around me when we’re feeding them! Fly right over my head! Haha! I’ve had them fly up to the kitchen window & look in,. Like they’re spying on me inside! Haha! It’s pretty funny!
@@jimcowan8770 That's so neat! Thanks for sharing. I did have a couple of them fly close to me and look at me. The bench I sit in is only about 4feet from one of my feeders. I noticed that they each pick a certain feeder they like. On a couple of days when I first put my 3 feeders out, it was like a war zone. They were dive bombing each other and squeeking up a storm. It was so awesome to watch them.
@@dewick134 Haha! Yes,. I think they’re fascinating to watch! Last year I had one hummer who would peck on the perch when the feeder was empty! Haha! I seriously think he was trying to tell me to fill his feeder! Haha! They’re Fun to watch! Have a Great Day birdwatching!
@@jimcowan8770 I believe you are right. So funny. I think they are leaving my area. I did not see even one today. I am upstate NY so I guess it's time. I will miss them.
Loving this Hummingbirds, a week ago during daytime one flew into my window. I took him in my hands, walked him around 10min in the garden, gave him some drops water and after he was fit again to fly to the next palm. They come here into my garden every day, loving birds and having always water for them for drinking and taking a bath. You can set a watch at which time which birds are coming. They never use the same waterspot together, always waiting polite until the other species is gone before they take a bath...humans can learn a lot from birds 😘😎♥
How precious. I love hummingbirds. I have a pair that visit me every day.
I had 2 crash land on my porch. I was surprised they let me pickvthem up. I checked them out and they sat in my hand for almost an hour before flying into my dogwood. It was so neat to be that close. It was about a month apart of their accidents.
I love hummingbirds more than any other bird. Thank you for doing this.
Omg this is amazing..thank you for sharing this..videos such as this allows everybody to see nature in its glory..something we would never be able to do if you hadn’t posted this...thank you so much!!!!!!
Love the humming birds. I worries about them when I don't see them.
Fully I'm 💯% Agreement w you ‼️👀👍‼️
Without this considerate lady's posting of this, there's not a very good chance we would've had this chance! I thanked her as well🥰! PS just saw hummingbirds ✨ for the very first time last week+ mind you I'm in 50s, have lived on land so full of wildlife it looked like a sanctuary sometimes🤗and also rt near nay , etc etc but still never encountered em. Maybe elusive?! Loved yr 😃👍comment ☮️🌜🌟✨🌛
A MOTHER'S LOVE HAS NO BOUNDARIES...
So beautiful
I'm pretty sure that this video just made ALL of my humminbird dreams come completely true!
So so so miraculous and I thank you so much for capturing this magnificent happening for us to watch!
😘👍
After my son died 19 years ago my husband and I became constant bird watchers. He had written a poem about the birds and said if we would watch the birds we would see Gods grace and glory. The hummers and cardinals are the best. I have 5 HB feeders and still sit on porch eating breakfast and watching them. I don't have many but what I see are amazing. I know your mom is now seeing them abuntly. Thanks for the video
Velma in Florida
How amazing is God to have created such beauty for US to enjoy.. So glad you captured that on camera.. Very Precious.... 💖
That’s amazing! I have had a hummingbird make a nest in our fern tree for the past three winters. We have had two sets of nests the year before where we only had one baby. This year she started 4 nests but the weather kept getting too bad (windy) for her to continue and she abandoned each one until this last nest. She just laid her eggs this year on Monday and the second one on Tuesday. I can’t wait to watch them grow!
It's so exciting, isn't it?
I love that! We have had a dove lay her eggs in my grape vine every year for the past 4 years! I would love If a humingbird would do this!
To help nature thrive ; a beautiful giftn
This is fantastic! No Hummers in Hawaii, such a bummer! My Mom is a Hummingbird lover, I’m sure this will brighten her day! Thank You!
I love my hummingbirds. Every May they come back up to CT and buzz my window until I put the feeder out. They definitely remember me.
They will find you every year!
Thank you. Ahhh nature
We’ve had Hummingbird feeders for years but never saw the hatching or even a nest! I could be wrong, but it appeared the mother was sucking out the ‘amniotic’ fluid, if you will, from the babies’ lungs and spitting it out. When a ‘human’ baby is born, the nose is cleared out by way of suction. Did anyone else notice that? Thank you so much for this amazing video. I’m new today and instantly subscribed! 🪴
Chicks actually start breathing inside the egg before they hatch. The eggshell is permeable to oxygen and an air pocket forms inside a membrane in the egg which the chick will begin to breathe before hatching. There is no amniotic fluid like in a humans. Our mother was trying to give her hatchling its first meal. Fascinating stuff!
What was mom spitting out after she fed the babies?
@@karynroeseler2652 that was just her tongue
It looked like she was spitting out extra nectar the baby bird didn’t eat? Somehow maybe it’s contaminated now? Dang, looks like she stuck her beak all the way down in the baby’s stomach.
My boyfriend & I are very into our birds & we recently decided it's best to go get a few hummingbird feeders installed. So we're newer to the Hummingbird thing however, I am very grateful there are channels, like yours, dedicated to this subject because I absolutely AD♡RE the few Hummingbirds we've acquired here so far in Pennsylvania. So truly, THANK YOU for caring enough to educate others on this! Keep up the phenomenal work! ♡
My husband and I found a hummingbird's nest on our property this year. One egg. It hatched. Never saw the mom or the baby. Hope she comes back next year.
I was a city kid I heard about humming birds but never gave a thought that such a bird was real It wasn’t till I was showing my daughter a beautiful flower I got to see my first hummingbird and I was truly amazed w it’s true beauty
This video is absolutely amazing! I had tears during this video.
Love these beautiful birds thanks for showing all the colours
Beautiful!What a treat to be able to watch.Thank you ❤️🙏🏼🕊✝️Thank you Jesus!!

Hummingbirds make my summer. Thank you Jesus.
This must have been such an incredible thing to see first hand. Glad you filmed it all. Really enjoyed this
Amazing, build the nest on the wire!! Cozy looking and night lights!! They are so cute!!😄💗
Oh I love hummingbirds, they give me such joy watching them sip the sugar nectar I put for them outside my window. This nest is adorable.
Thank you all for sharing these videos. My mom always put out sugar water for her hummingbirds, and I've always been curious about their nests and babies. So cool to see it live.
She is so cute and a lovable bundle of fluff. She looks so comfy and sweet in her nest. I just want to pet and gently cuddle her. Ahhhh. Thanks for all you do for showing us these sweeties and caring for our lovable Hummingbird family.🐤🐥🐦🐧🥰😊☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. ❤️ from 🇦🇺 Australia.

From Great Britain this is something we don't have. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much .
Where I live I have all kinds of b i r d s especially hummingbirds that come and feed my flowers that I have a couple of years ago I had the pleasure of looking up and seeing an adult hummingbird flying into my bushes and she had a baby with her a teeny tiny baby flying getting nectar out of my flowers oh my Lord what a beautiful sight I could not believe that I have the opportunity for several moments to watch this beautiful tiny baby in its mother as they were feeding I mean that little baby was barely I mean just give me tiny as hummingbirds are extremely small anyway I feel very blessed that I got to witness this I love to watch my birds especially the hummingbirds that's why I feed them constantly thank you for sharing your adventures.
They always make me tear up. I know how hard they have to work just to survive. They are the most beautiful birds to be able to admire up close.
So heartwarming! My sister passed away suddenly last August and her special favorite animal was the hummingbird. She had one land on her hand one time. She just sat there stunned by it's beauty and grace. She felt honored. Thank you! I will be following these hatchlings!
My condolences, and I thank you for sharing a bit of your sister’s grace with us 🌴
Fir first time in 43 yrs I have a pair that visit my deck.They are bliss.
Just love these wonderful lil birds so much. We had a storm with tornado's roll through a couple weeks ago and I was worried about them as I have a few that buzz around all day. Learned one of the babies was injured across the street. She contacted a sanctuary that recommended she put in a cage in tree to see if it improves. Mum comes to feed it all the time through the cage ♥️ If it recovers, they will let it go. If not by next week, it will go to the sanctuary.
Love hummingbirds and birds of all kinds! I held a feeder from my hand a few times and the hummingbirds came to feed off of it. They are so loud when you don't have glass between you!!! It is so amazing that my hummingbirds come back each year to the same exact window and hover if the feeder isn't there when they arrive. Their God given GPS is perfect, unlike man's GPS which is off and has to be adjusted!
Nest building and the nests themselves are so amazing. These tiny Birds get all sorts of little bits of tree and plant matter, spider webs to hold it together!, and whatever they find and build a very sturdy home for two eggs and then two little hatchlings. Nests are a wonder of love and care, and True skill on the part of the bird who weaves all these objects together to create a very secure home, one that will not fall apart in the rain and one that stands up to wind. Beautiful.
Who in their right mind would down vote this wonderful video?
Such old souls. Sweet and gentle. thank you.
Thanks for this experience! I had a nest in a pine and was able to take stills of the babies quickly when mom was gone. From below, when they were looking out the nest, they looked like a pair of synchronized windshield wipers going back and forth.
Lol, great description… thanks for the visual ! ✌️❤️🌴
I’m so happy I found you! Hummingbirds are my grandmothers favorite little bird. Sadly, she passed away in January. Now she flies with hummingbirds!
I love Hummingbirds🌻🍀🌻🍀🌻🍀🌻
Simply beautiful and awesomeness of God! Thank you💝
So amazing to see. So tiny!
Great job Carole and HBS, what an amazing thing to be able to see and then watch.
Thank you for the beautiful video of momma hummingbird and her babies.
Crows, Owls, & Hummers are my three favorite birds. Wonderful video.
Thank you for all you do...I watched from the start til the babies left to start their own life. This was so joyful watching what you have put together! I made me smile like the days the babies hatched. God Bless You
Marvelous video! Thank you so much. Carole!
"...she was making nestorations"....very cute.
What a gift to be able to film this process! Excellent view!
Such a cute video, watching God's creation and everything they do makes me tear of happiness. I feel lucky to be a witness to this beauty of nature.💚🕊
Wonderful!! Thank you thank you thank you❤️❤️❤️
I loved this video. We had the pleasure of getting to see a hummingbird build her nest and raise 2 little babies. We had not taken down our Christmas lights even into March so we had noticed this little bird going back and forth on the porch and then found way up the tiny nest that looked like a walnut and finally way her. It was so fun to watch out our porch window as things progressed. It was great that you had the cameras to position them to watch. It is amazing how fast they grow and are able to fly away only in a couple of weeks. We could see their little beaks sticking up and her feeding them and then more and more of the bird showed up and finally they were so big and they were perching on the edge of the nest. She was still feeding them. We didn't see one of them fly off but we saw the 2nd one and he flew down a little bit to a wire just below and then just sat there like what do I do now. He wobbled back and forth a bit and then started testing his wings out and back in the nest he went. The next day he got a little braver and flew a little farther away and practiced again and then up on the roof he flew and sat and off he went. We so enjoy them and have feeders out all the time and watch them. Got is good on creating these little things to watch.
Humming birds are so little and fast. Thanks for them., They are beautiful.
I guess the babies are grown by now, but I just found this video and it was just what I needed after a stressful day ❤️🙏
THE MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND FITTING FOR THIS VIDEO, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!☺️😊🌺🥰
Years ago, in Tucson, AZ, we watched a Costas hummingbird build her nest and hatch one egg in the eucalyptus sapling in our front yard. The mama bird used Easter grass along with twigs and fluff to build her nest. It was quite decorative. During storms, with the wind whipping and whirling the young tree so strongly, we couldn’t believe the nest and mama bird stayed intact, but she had anchored it firmly with excretions she applied to the twigs.
When the chick hatched, it quickly grew to be nearly as large as the mama. It took up the entire nest. It’s call sounded just like the chime on my husband’s sport watch. If another bird got near, Mama bird would attack it in a fury of flapping wings and dive bombs. No bird was too large for her!
One day, the nest was empty. We discovered the pair in our back yard on our stone fence. The fledgling was still chiming, and Mama was still feeding her huge offspring.
Wasn't that wonderful to witness?
I have Anna's hummingbirds all year. Last winter was tough due to below freezing weather. I was switching out the frozen feeders starting at 5 in the morning and continued all day keeping the little guys fed. I am looking into a heated feeder for the winter. Thanks for caring and sharing your video. Just got a visit from my guys while watching your video.
Thank you for this ...so lovely and these little birds so precious 💕
I love Hummingbirds so much! Last Summer I hung a feeder on my porch and tons of Hummingbirds came and drank the nectar! I’m waiting for their return! 🤗
Once, in San Jose, California, I watched a hummingbird build her nest on a tree branch right outside of our second floor window. She had two babies and dutifully fed them regularly. One day there was a terrible rain storm, and I just knew she wasn't coming back. I called the Audubon Society for help. They simply said it wasn't the season for hummingbirds to breed. I argued that the babies were in the nest outside my window. I tried vets and anyone I could think of - no help. The weaker baby died. I carefully lifted it out of the best so as not to leave my scent and waited. Nothing. There was no way to help.I buried both of them in my front yard. I learned a lot from watching the process and will never forget the experience.
My 29-year-old son got his wings, 22 years ago he loved hummingbirds. I have a sketch of a hummingbird on his memorial page. 6:45
