Is sugar good for birds? The main cause of bee colony collapse is feeding bees sugar during transportation. Sugar will cause the baby birds to be born with brain damage. Read the book, "Dead Doctors don't Lie". by Dr Joel Wallach Use the sweet hert Setevia instead.
Do you have solar panels on your roof?? Coal burning power plants in California kill humming birds migrating to Mexico. If Germany can be 100% powered by solar & renewables, so can Alaska. Please. Youtube: paul8kangas
@HardcoreFruttie Yes, don't worry about the birds getting other nutrients. They get that by eating insects. The sugar provides that raw energy needed to fuel their dynamo metabolism.
what a beautiful video. You may want to take a look at my videos of a hummingbird landing on my nose and one landing on my lower lip. I am very careful not to hurt them. Thanks again for this beautiful video.
Wow best footage I've ever seen of hummingbirds. THey are like half insect, half animal. Interesting to see their long tongues and red flashes on their necks and plummage up close.
So beautiful! I have hummingbirds coming to the feeder on my patio; I use the sugar mix you describe, and I love watching them come. My feeder is red, which attracts them. I will try to feed them by hand since I live right up against a wildlife refuge in the Portland, Oregon area, which makes for good bird watching. Thanks for the great videos you have posted. :-)
We have a cabin in northern Minnesota and have a similar experience with our ruby throated hummingbirds. As the birds become more hungry and more numerous, I keep adding feeders, until I usually have about 15; that way the dominant ones (and they are not all males) can't guard all the feeders at once. I hate to admit how much sugar I go through, but the entertainment factor outweighs the effort to keep these little guys fed.
This is so cute! :3 and Incredible!!

The hummingbirds LOOK light in weight but try holding a hummingbird out at arm's length and see how long YOU can do it. ;)

is water with just sugar enough for them to live on? I bet the liquid from the store contains more different things to keep the hummingbirds healthy?

Noticed the bug zapper right next to the feeder. The birds never fly into the trap? D:

@jahnka1 Haha. We buy sugar in bulk as well. Worth every penny though.
