Alex, my 12 year old cousin, got the pleasure of hand feeding a male ruby-throat hummingbird.

  • BRILLIANT!

  • @1BustedMyth Thanks and please view my other hummingbird videos here on YouTube.

  • Why can't I get hummingbirds? My feeder has been hanging there for 4 months. Plenty of nectar and no birds??

  • I would be guessing but a lot of people don't have any hummers again this summer. Some have normal numbers, some have more and lots have fewer. Don't give up, just keep clean food and add more hummingbird flowers to your yard. I believe that are so many hummingbirds that will be migrating south in Aug-Sep they will see your yard/feeder. Enjoy my photos/videos at my site - just google russ thompson hummingbirds to find my website Enjoyable Hummingbirds

  • @russlouky Thanks, What are their favorite flowers? I will keep the feeder up all summer or until I run out of nectar. The ants seem to be enjoying it at the moment. OH I live in Long Island, New York. Maybe I'm not in their flying path?

  • You may not be in the migration path but hummers do visit states above you and Canada. Here are five great plants for hummingbirds - coral honeysuckle vines, cuphea (cigar plant), black and blue salvia, dicliptera suberecta, and coccinea salvias (lady in red & coral nymph). You can google any of them to see what they look like and where to buy them.

  • Bravo! 

  • 1 guy is a pig lover XD

  • I am going to try feeding them by hand! Looks like fun!

  • @catbirdfeeder I dont know what kind of fungus it is. We are walking petri dishes down here in the south with the moist hot atmosphere. I had a rare hummer and the tagger came to tag it and told me to clean up my act or stop feeding them. We have to clean every three days in Mississippi. After it gets cold it is once a week.

  • @catbirdfeeder is the fungus the same of the bread?

  • @MarcoTUV also if you dont clean the feeders after 3 days they can get a fungus (in the south) diesease and die.

  • @5277407 Do you use sugar and water or the commercial nectar? They don't like the store bought stuff. :))

  • one friend have a feeder and some Hummingbirds came to sip the nectar, is awesome but you must be careful in the elaboration of nectar

    1 not too sweet

    2 do not leave for more than 4 days in the recipient

    last advide is important because nectar could be fermented and fermentation produces alcohol and hummingbirds get drunk, i see several birds flying under effects
