Wow, you get that many hummingbirds in 2 days? we only get half that many a year 'round here! That's Wisconsin for ya. But I absolutely am fascinated by those birds!

I used to have that same feeder until my dad took it off and it fell and broke
-
Ahhhh no dye please! Great feeder but the dye kills them by causing kidney failure... I'm a hummingbird freak so I know this. Just 1 part sugar to four parts water = best.

@b0dhran From the findings of human and mice studies regarding red food coloring, I stopped using it. The red on the feeder is enough to attract them, but I went ahead and tied strips of red surveyor's tape to mine for that added visibility; it flutters in the breeze, which is probably very tempting to a hummer.

@b0dhran If only hummingbirds ate wasps! They eat a lot of other insects, but I don't blame them for avoiding those nasty red wasps.

Could it be fruit juice? : \
The insect at 2:05 is a red wasp. These insects
are territorial, and have a painful sting. It seems to me that the hummingbirds are careful and avoid this wasp. I've been stung by them and avoid them as much as possible.

What is that thing flying next to the hummingbird at 2:05, I am having a disagreement with my boyfriend because he insists that it is a wasp but I think it is a butterfly! I would appreciate your response on this:)

It's sugar water 1 part sugar to four parts water. A drop of red food coloring makes the solution red, and is only used once to attract the birds to a new feeder. They are attracted to anything bright red in color.
