Our family did this in southern Ohio (Lake Hope area) at a nature center. They supplied single feeders for visitors, told you what you had to do and with a little patience the humming birds would come to feed. The kids loved it. I can hear their squeaks & sqawks - hard to believe thay can make so much noise
Thank you, ho3shifts !! I saw this somewhere and had to try it myself. YouTube is a good way to show everyone what they themselves can do in their own backyards. They do make a lot of noise... Glad you liked it.
I volunteer for a nature Arboretum near my home, and like to document the special things I've found in my yard, whether it is Purple Martins, Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, or Hummers. Take any and every opportunity you have, to share some simple backyard happenings with friends. Our native birds have been trained to look for help from us, by us. This is just one small example of the simple, fun things right outside your window.... Glad you enjoyed the clip !!
Hello Purple Martin, I live on the Oregon Coast. Really enjoy your feeding frenzy with the Hummers. I also have feed them holding the feeder. You deserve a Oscar for best feeder holder. Smiles from Oregon
Thanks eccentricoldcow! I live in Kentucky, and this was shot just before they migrated further south. They were coming to the feeder at more than just one at a time, and probably just "fueling up" before migrating on south.
Once I posted this clip, I found out that I'm not the only one enjoying getting hummingbirds to come so close.
You lucky man, how wonderful! Thanks so much for that. I have seen them in Belize right outside the cabana window, but never that close.I didn't know that they actually stopped to drink nectar, I thought they just hovered. Where abouts are you?
Love it!

Great Video, but I give the Hummers a lot of credit.
