A hand fed Hummingbird video that is amazing. Taming the Alaskan hummingbird. These hummingbirds were filmed at our lodge in Alaska, no feeder required!

Our lodge in Alaska has TONS of these little birds in the summer. Did you know their hearbeat can be as high as 1200 beats ber minute! Mother nature is amazing!

These adorable hummingbirds eat right out of our hands here at the lodge. While setting up the cameras for some more handfeeding, these two little hummingbirds gave us "the shot". Though I love the hummingbirds in Alaska, The majority only arrive after migrating from Mexico, looking for feeders along the way. Sometimes I wish we lived somewhere where we could watch baby hummingbirds in their nests. Some of those videos are amazing!


NOTE: We don't use red dye anymore. We use 4:1 Water to sugar only.

  • Beautiful video, but please eliminate the red food color from the sugar nectar. Hummers' digestive systems cannot digest the dye and it will give them diarrhea. If they eat too much it will eventually kill them. They don't need the red food color to find the nectar, they explore everything and can easily find nectar in any type of container. Thank you for the upload.

  • the narration is cringeworthy
