can you spot the Caliope hummingbird at the lower left? Everyone else's video talks about a hummingbird "swarm". THIS is a swarm!

  • No, this is summer. I'm located in the mountains of Colorado where we get Rufus, Caliope, Broadtail and Black Chinned hummingbirds from mid May to early September.

  • Where the heck do you live? This is in winter, right? I believe that's the only time Rufous birds show up.

  • @sunshinegirl1967 Winter Park, Colorado in the summertime.

  • Is this sugar water in the dish? 25% sugar like I put in my feeders.

  • yes, no color required. also no need to boil - I use warm water to help dissolve and change as necessary depending how hot its outside.

  • How can you get one of those chicken feeders?

  • At any seed and feeder, farmer-rancher supply store or you can search on line. You need to modify it just slightly. I rough up the rim with course sandpaper (too slick to hold on easily) and paint the edge with brown to similute a twig. I also cut of the clips in the tray because they are hard to clean.

  • Wow. I am jealous. I love hummers. Thanks.

  • where is this at?

  • this is so incredible!!!

  • Flying mice! We have Allen's and Anna's!

  • Even though there's some fighting going on, your birds get along SO much better than mine do! Maybe when there's this many of them, it's impossible for any one bird to "rule", so they all just have to tolerate each other when visiting the giant red flower/swimming pool/feeder! :-)

  • I live in memphis TN, and I love sitting in my backyard and wahing hummingbirds! All ive seen this summer is the ruby throated hummingbirds and maby i said maby a little of rufuos but i studied about ruby throated hummingbirds in second grade just to mention im in fourth grade well going in to fourth grade!( :

  • I love hummingbirds! We have only the ruby throated here. In Arizona we saw all kinds. I love the calliope as well, the smallest in the States, I believe.
