    my wife's father loved watching hummingbirds out of his big bay window most of his life.after his retirement thats about all he did, because of health reasons he couldnt get around much,but he loved his comfy chair,and his little hummingbirds, not very long after his retirement he passed away,and my wife was completely destroyed over it. a few weeks after his passing we were sitting in our home talking and out of the blue we had a single little hummingbird fly up to our big plate glass window and literally just hover. looking in at us. we had no feeders or have ever seen any hummingbirds at our home. we feel it was a sign to my wife that all was going to be alright. now we cant wait to put our feeders out.and enjoy these awesome little creatures.

      that happened to my husband too. His father was an avid Eagle watcher. After he passed my husband saw an Eagle perched in a tree branch on his way home. He pulled over and walked right up under the tree and the Eagle stayed there for 20 minutes. It was an area that eagles do not frequent, so very eerie.

      That's a beautiful story. I can't help but wonder if perhaps your little bird and 123janbartels eagle are both reincarnations...and I don't (didn't) believe in reincarnation. I guess anything is possible.

    yup! They are SUPER ATTRACTED to RED COLOR ... (however using red food color harms their health! Careful!) I was blessed enough to take care of a blue-throated humming bird whose wing got injured ... now he sits on my finger, waits to be fed, super sweet and smart little guy with a strong will to live practicing flying here and there ... I cant wait to release him when his wing gets okay!

      yeah, its been a week since I found him in the garage with one wing stretched unable to fold it ... now he is much better, flies here and there, but with difficulties and keeps falling down, so I run all over the place and keep catching him :-) I think he knows I am doing my best for him so he cooperates ... amazing species this is!!!! A blessing and a dream come trough for me to be so so so close to such fantastic species ... and I cant wait to release him soon so he can fly home and be free :-)

    • @NextWorldVR

      I bought a brand called Homestead that is red - is the red color in the 'brands' you buy bad for them too, or just standard home baking food coloring? I would never add the latter, but the Homestead is already red, and does seem to be the one they like the most (it has vitamins minerals and calcium to help them build their shells, (and to keep them from going near the risky ground to eat dirt etc. as they are known to do, to gain calcium in their diet) I sure wish I could get them to share better!

    • @danabee3775
      @danabee3775 10 років тому +9

      Robert, I dont know if that is not suitable to their health either, however, its super easy to make just water based nectar. I used information from the ornithologist - purified water (not tap water, may contain chemicals or bacterias - not good for them either) and WHITE sugar (not brown, no honey, no melasa - the problem here is when you dilute it with water it starts growing bacteria that is fatal for hummingbirds) thats it, purified water and white sugar. They also sell reddish feeders so they still are attracted. However, my little fella who is recovering got used to the taste not to the color, now he searches for transparent glass I was feeding him from, because he could not fly ... Well, now I am bringing more red flowers from the garden so he knows what to do when he is free again :-) And now I am off to catch a small fly for him as well because they need protein as well ... :-)

      If anyone still sees this video. Please do not use Red Dye in your hummingbird feeder. Its bad for the birds. Just use water and sugar; about 4 to one ratio. The red on the feeder's fake flowers is enough to attract them to the sugar and water. Cheers.

      You could introduce them to the U.K. Buy several in North America and then release them to the wild in the U.K. and in a a decade or two, you will see them everywhere. That's what happened when the North American grey squirrel was introduced to the U.K. Now they are EVERYWHERE!!!!!

    • @Umoth
      @Umoth 9 років тому

      Nice idea, but I have an aversion to the introduction of non-native species artificially. They tend to wreak havoc to the local ecosystem. Witness Grey squires in the UK (Decimated Red squirrels with squirrel pox) or the cane toad, camel and rabbit in Australia. Plus I doubt the would survive our winters given they are normally about 3 hours from starving to death.

    I use plane white sugar, anything other than that can cause health issues..
    I have three 24oz feeders and fill them every day.
    Clean out the container every refill including the flowers and inside the base.
    If mold and fungus grow in the feeder, the fungus can infect the hummingbird's tongue and make it swell up causing the condition known as Hummers Candidiasis.

It was soooo amazing. That was 50 years ago and I still love them.

    I appreciate that many people have lots of opinions on whether the red dye hurts hummingbirds. Firstly, I don't know. Secondly, Snopes - a fact checking web site, Doesn't know either (www.snopes.com/fact-check/dye-cast/). I do know this: Since I originally created the video, we don't use it anymore because this is cheaper and works just fine: 4 parts water, 1 part sugar. I recommend you use it as well. :)

      There are hand feeders that are closed containers.
      If you want to feed hummingbirds. .. use the ratio of 4 cops water to 1 cup of regular table sugar. If your tap water is not the greatest, boil it. Let it get to room temp before filling feeder. The sugar water is closest to flower nectar. The only red needed is the feeders and flowers or ornaments, etc. NOT the nectar. When feeding hummingbirds, please use only closed containers. They sell single cylinder feeders, they sell button feeders as well. Also, please don't use the red pre-made nectar or red food coloring. There's a Facebook page called Help Save Our Hummingbirds with information about red dyes. It's NOT good for hummingbirds. Too much red dye isn't healthy for humans!

      Michael Davis they need to redo the video using plain water and pure cane sugar at the ratio of water and sugar which is the closest constituent to flower nectar... 4 parts water to 1 part pure cane sugar. Dyes/food coloring is petroleum based and not even healthy for humans especially children and the elderly. The tiny hummingbirds cannot metabolize that crap they sell at the stores. That garbage and dyes cause kidney damage then kidney failure and a slow painful death.
      Also... hand feeding is a wonderful experience... As long as one uses a closed /covered container with a tiny hole and flower port. So many don't realize that If the sugar water gets on the feathers of the birds, it's too heavy and sticky. They cannot preen it off. Therefore it makes it hard for them to fly, in which they will succumb to hypothermia and eventually death.
