Hand Feeding Hummingbirds
«

These aren’t my photos. I received them in an e-mail and I was quite impressed. We have hummers as year-round residents here but never this many at one time. Hummers are quite territorial and often protect their feeders. We recently put up a second feeder and have noticed that the hummers are not quite as territorial now as they were with just one feeder. We have also noticed that we now have at least three regular visitors to the feeders but they still only visit one at a time at each feeder with the others usually nearby keeping an eye on things…. I’ve challenged the fetching Mrs. Mikey to see if she can get them to feed out of her hand……

Oh wouldn't you just love to feed the hummers like that? It would take a lot of patience.
My stepson had on a shirt this summer with a bright red flower on the front. He was working in the landscaping just under his feeder. A hummer came around front of him and buzzed around for a while and then decided that flower wasn't real and went up to the feeder.

Oh Man, wouldn't that be cool tho!? I'm lucky if I can get two hummers to hang out in my backyard, but they do come. I have lots of flowers that they love, even if I have them growing in less than ideal conditions!

My new goal for 2007 is to hand feed humming birds. We are already hand feeding the squirrels. Most of them are timid but there is this one brave little squirrel that torments the dog and will sit on the porch rail and wait for us to bring out the peanuts.

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.
