      Make sure you don’t push your big city ideology on to the people that have called the place home forever. Rural areas are nice because the people that live there have traditional values. Urban areas are pits of despair because the people who live there confuse cruelty with compassion. Their “solutions” actually hurt those they think they’re helping. It’s such a sad state of affairs, but they’re so ideologically driven they cannot see they’re the problem.

    I live on 12 acres in the country and was on the patio one day and a single hummingbird flew by me. I instantly ordered a feeder on Amazon and hung it up. That single bird indulged by itself for months until a second one showed up. Fast forward to this week and I have about 25 plus here now and it grows each day. They came out of nowhere. I am ordering more feeders now because my single feeder isn't cutting it anymore lol..super cool!

      I've always used ¼c granulated sugar to 1c water. You can make it stronger, but they won't feed as often. I was told long ago to not put red food coloring into the nectar, bc it stains their bottom making for an unattractive appearance for when it comes to mating 🤭.
      Don't tell anyone but I do still add a very tiny amount of color to the water, just so I can tell at a distance if the nectar is getting low. (super faint!)
      No idea if beet juice or red zinger tea would be a good substitute and less problematic for stained booties.
      Worth noting, when we first started feeding hummies years ago, we NEVER saw any stained hineys, and we added a BUNCH of food color thinking it's necessary for drawing the birds to the food.

      One evening, while at a Walmart SuperCenter in Amherst, NH, I saw some birds flying around inside. Later, I saw about four birds gathered around the Lawn and Garden Centerfoors. One of those birds 🐦 seemed smart enough to know that if it will "fludder around this device" just above the doors and they will "magically" open. Sure enough, once those doors opened up the lead bird flew out, followed by the other three that were sitting there waiting for the right time.

    I just moved to West Texas in the desert and last month I heard what I thought was a bumble bee buzzing around my head. When I turned around to see what I thought it was to my surprise it was a hummingbird literally inches from my face. Well maybe about a foot. But I never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would see a hummingbird in the desert. When I made the move from Florida to here I did bring a hummingbird feeder but in the move in got cracked at the top. So I still filled it with sugar water and put it out. That one hummingbird followed me in the house and outside until I hung it up! By the afternoon I had at least 3 hummingbirds. I couldn't believe it. The next couple of days my hummingbird population grew to at least a dozen. But now it's getting colder and I think they have headed south. I still have about 4-5 hanging around and fighting over the new feeder I bought a couple of days after the first one showed up. But they are amazing creatures they come right up to me, look at me chattering when it gets low on food. Who knows what they are saying LOL. I enjoyed your video. I think I'm going to make some like u did and maybe a solar fountain. Thanks 👍!!!

    So to say the the hummingbird is your spirit animal is on point! I love hummingbirds & have to tell you that I am in awe of how many nests she built!! Thats insane to me & just think, we get tired working our jobs & meanwhile this little mama had more than 1 nest at a time with hatched and unhatched babies! Thats incredible I am just blown away by the fortitude of the mom & just how clever she is as well! Multi tasking on a whole new level!💐🌺🐣🐦🌸

    I knew... you leave the Christmas lights up.... so they can huddle near them year round for warmth. Thank you for showing that the Rufous Mama...build one of her nest around one of the Christmas bulbs. That is one brilliant mama hummingbird... AMAZING!. I think the key to having an up close and personal encounter with any birds.... is consistency in interest in your yard... ( offering food, water, and YOU). The more you become a daily familiar "feature" in your yard... the more comfortable they are with you being there too. The baby Gold Finches are adorable.

    • @angelmartin7310
      @angelmartin7310 Рік тому

      I live in Southern Indiana and I have at least 5 hummingbirds, 2 who definitely never leave my yard until migration. And they come when I call them. They are hard to spot if you aren't looking very intently and haven't learned their patterns, they look like insects buzzing past! We have tons of hummers in Indiana, don't worry

  • @interesante80

      They had an ample food source nearby so that’s why they will have multiple nests.

  • @angelmartin7310
    @angelmartin7310 Рік тому +1

    I went from 1 humby to 4 or 5 in the past couple months. I wasn't filling the feeder reliably but one day a female ruby confronted me in the Garden about the empty feeder, even came to my windows clearly looking for me after the lecture in the Garden, so I put out several more feeders. Now they come when I call and I swear they never go farther than a 30 second flight from me because they always buzz past me or perch when I call them. I got a mantis off their favorite "secret" feeder 2 days ago after my kids saw them fighting the mantis (not a big one) and I got a big show of gratitude for that. Lots of twirling and chirping and perching.

    I am so amazed by you and the beautiful habitat you created for them! As of last year I finally have my very own outdoor space and I was lucky enough to meet my first hummingbirds! I was instantly in love. Every morning the same one would be perching on the back porch, I really think she was waiting to hear the coffee pot because then shed come up to the feeder. Every morning. We had many and this year theyre back!
    But back to this: I am so inspired by this! I enjoy them somuch too. I cant imagine having them come into the kitchen that is truly a dream. Theyre magical creatures. Thankyou for this, some new facts, and all the work youve put into this!

      Add another feeder. The more feeders you have the more you will attract. I start out with one feeder when they start showing up in the spring...Then I add another and another and that attracts more birds. With each feeder I put out, more and more birds start showing up...... In years past I’ve had as many as 8 feeders and the traffic was unbelievable ....i was going through a half gallon of food a day...this year I have four feeders and I also only fill my feeders enough to last that day so they have fresh food at all times.....It’s very hot and humid here and it doesn’t take long for the sugar water to start turning into a brew for the all drinkers and brawlers. Lol.

    I live in Central Florida, and I've only seen one hummingbird here in three years. He was the biggest hummingbird I'd ever seen! I had about six blooming orchids on a windowsill and he patiently went down the line and drank from each one. It was quite a sight. I can't imagine THOUSANDS. 😮

I heard wings buzzing My first hummingbird encounter thought it was a bee too, when I saw what it was and how adorable tiny fast fierce and sequence colors...I fell in love!! But since I've been feeding, I've only had 2 at a feeder no more and that was once, usually it's only one, id love to get a group of hummers!! God bless u and all those feeders and fairy friends 🥰🥰🥰
