Hummingbirds become very numerous just before sunset to get their last drink before returning to their nest. Hummingbirds can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12--80 times per second. They can also fly backwards. They are among the smallest of birds about 3-4 inches long. Their name derives from the characteristic hum made by their rapid wing beats. They can fly at speeds exceeding 34 miles per hour. Hummingbirds drink nectar, a sweet liquid inside certain flowers. and by preying on insects and spiders.
This video was filmed in January, 2012 in Southern California near San Diego. Most of the birds are Anna's Hummingbird which is a year-round resident. You can occassionally see other hummingbirds that have migrated from Costa Rica. There are a total of 3 feeders which consume about 2 gallons per day of (use 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Ie: 30 oz container. 30/5=6. 6x4=24 oz water, 6 oz granulated sugar; no dye has been added). The amount consumed suggest these feeders support hundreds of hummingbirds. The males have more colorful plummage. The location of the feeder is in the backyard overlooking a golf course. The feeders have been at this location for 3 years! Just before sunset they become numerous.

How nice, they share, don't heckle each other, beautiful!!!
They are so cooperative. Ours fight all the time; no more than one bird at the feeder at a time.
That is insane they were even stickin 2 beaks in the same flower without any carnage haha. What area is this or is it Canada? Here in the old pacific northwest rainforest we only get Annas and an occasional Rufous. I never get more than 3 at a time but they come every few minutes though. They all know me pretty well too and arent very shy. They hate each other though lol
So these hummingbirds know how to share. Unlike the ones I "feed" they tend to fight each other even though there's plenty of room for them lol
is possible the camera in slow motion???
i love it
They sound like flying light sabers.
I feel like I'm right there with them.
I M SO JELUS!
wow, i can't believe how well-behaved your hummies are toward each other. clearly those are mostly male Annas. how did you get them to be so "nice" to each other? all the hummies visiting our feeders are aggressive little shits.
I wonder what it would be like to be a hummingbird.
nunga!
How does one get this many hummingbirds at their feeders?
Ahah, yes.

OH!!! ... maravilloso ... gracias Hdolfo
Hi,
Thank you for sharing, excellent job !!!!
Could you please give me the recipe of the nectar?
Thanks again :)
Where can I get a feeder like the one shown in the video?
Do the hummingbirds go to the feeders through the night ?
No. When they sleep, they go in to "Torpor" -- a kind of induced hibernation. When they awake, their first meal of the day is 25% of their daily intake.
U need more feeder up
I bet they get all high off that sugar.
