Hand-feeding hummingbirds

[BillyVance 35]

This lady lives in a Hummingbird fly zone. As they migrated, about 20 of them were in her yard. Just for a lark, she took a little red dish, filled it with sugar water-- and these are the results. These pictures are amazing!

And no, there's nothing sick about these.

I have to try that! I have three that frequent the feeder outside my office window. They come around about every five minutes or so.

They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it.

That's amazing.

I should try setting out dishes of sugar water out back of my place and see if I can at least get them to eat from those.

I'm on a canyon and get hummingbirds all the time.

What can I say? My day isn't complete without at least one sick twisted picture.

I was expecting something shocking and repulsive in the last image.

Wow!

They are so cute!

Sir Davind Attenborogh said that they were especially attracted by red color, so red is a good choice.

You can buy special feeders for them that you fill with sugar water.

I'm sure they appreciate a free snack on their way.

I gotta see these for real. I've only seen them on TV and on pictures. They look so cool!

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

My grandparents always had hummingbird feeders. They are really cool to watch. It is amazing how they fly. They are extreemly fast.

Neat pics!
I got attacked by a male Ruby Throated Hummingbird once while picking blackberries. I retreated and let him have his blabkberry patch. Can't defend against what you can't see coming

That's AWESOME!

Very aggressive!

It's amazing that she has so many feeding around her at once.... The hummingbirds at my feeder fight over it, and will not allow another bird to feed while feeding.

I just had my first yearly visit from one about 10 min ago. Gotta get the feeder up!

I was at my mom's last year, she has 4 feeders up and we counted (no lie) 100 h-birds at one time....most were in holding patterns waiting for their turn!

They're used to flying around and find flowers that they empty. No wonder they were flying patterns to get back to the flower that never gets empty! I mean, that must be every hummingbirds dream.

it was like they had one i tell ya. Sometimes they touched, but mostly like a bat they stayed clear of each other. I stood between the feeders quietly (each one spaced about 3 feet apart) and they would fly within inches of my face. Cool sound all those flapping wings make.....
