@TheJellyfishninja

Hi, My numbers are up and I think migration has begun - it should be good hummingbird viewing for the next month or two.

[TheJellyfishninja]

@russlouky yah thought so, but just wondereng, I live in Virginia and Hummingbirds mate and feed young and stuff where exactly? Just wanted to know.

[nl881]

Awesome. Is that a honeysuckle branch you're holding? I also make my own food....4 water and 1 sugar. We go through lots in the summer.

[russlouky]

@nl881 - Hi, that red flower is a Subrotunda Salvia - google it for more info

[weeklyscrabbler]

we were wondering how long you had to stay still before the bird approached.

[BillyBones139]

do you mix your own nectar or purchase it? If purchased, what brand?

[russlouky]

@BillyBones139 Hi, with the exception of the red store bought food I used to get the hummingbird to eat from my palm I have never bought food - I make my own because it is much cheaper to make your own - four parts water and one part sugar will work all the time - never use red colored food in a feeder - the feeder already has red on it and that is plenty of red to attract a hummer.

[russlouky]

@IronDeath Hi, I don't always reply to comments and must have missed the ones you saw that disliked the video. I usually reply to comments that ask a question as the one above did.

Oh, that is so CUTE!! I didn't think hummers could be so tame!

[myroosterwilleatyou]

Sounds like a great big blowfly! How amazing! Make sure there isn't anything dangerous to the bird on your hands! :o

That is so neat! Thanks for the post! You better believe that when this summer rolls around I'm going to be standing out there holding my flowers!

I have never seen a Humming Bird do that before thanks for the video.

[elisan693]

I love Hummingbirds, yours are really tame. We have several here that live here all year round. Even feed in the snow...
