    I live in the country and every year I have swarms of hummingbirds I put out 9 feeders And I have to refill them at least twice a day They will sit on my thumb and feed.It's pure heaven for me!! When I go to refill a feeder they will swarm in that space and wait for me.They swarm around my head while they are waiting.I could go on and on but I won't. Janie

      Sure wish we had that many Hummers here in Washington, your luky. I remember one year in Socal, I had four feeders on the Patio and one fall day I had to refill them almost hourly with a passing swarm reloading for the trip on back to Central America............and those were the Happy Days!

    I just got a hummingbird feeder, for the first time, and when I first put it out, a hummingbird was checking it out. Now, I get one hummingbird at a time at the feeder.. not a lot like in your video. I see 2 or 3 hummers fly around it, but only one uses it. It is being used frequently and I'm very happy that so far, it has been successful. They are fun to watch! You have a wonderful set up there. You are lucky to get so many visitors! Thank you for the video.

      If you put one feeder out you get one hummingbird because whoever decides it is his (it’s usually a male) will chase everyone off. I put out 4 in different places in the garden and I get lots and lots of hummers - they still try and chase each other off but there is always space at a different feeder for them.

    great job and have to say for over 20yrs in Ark I did this and now I had to move to mo in the ozark area and only have 4 feeders right now but this is what gives me joy, I had to learn the do's and don'ts to keep them healthy and give them time to migrate thru here going south before taking my last ones down, those who just migrate thru need that energy to continue on, yet we have the same ones return yr after yr too, so this is almost the same as my porch ty so much

    not sure I agree. my wife has watched and filled these feeders for a few years. we have witnessed almost no agreession at all. hummers are so calm you can approach to within a few inches of the feeders and the birds almost ignore you and go on feeding. on a few isolated days one bird might show agrees ion but it seems that with 6 to 8 feeders filled, the hummers have found a land of plenty with enough food for everyone.

      @nebuchadnezzarsmith7846 7 років тому +6

      You're probably aware that we on the East Coast (Virginia here) only have the ruby-throated species but you can attract large numbers by working at it. More attention equals them noticing you and returning with increasing numbers. It is quite possible to attract a swarm over time if you put out many feeders as we do and keep them clean. However, videos like this fine one show something we stopped doing years ago, that is, we don't put feeders up on our porches. Before takeoff the birds lighten themselves by expelling waste - onto the porch. That waste attracts ants and grows black mold on the porch deck. It may seem like fun to have them very close but with large numbers you get a mess on top of the inevitable nectar spillage. Maintaining numerous feeders in top cleanliness means we'd rather not add more chores.

    • @mariannelynnlatjow5641
      @mariannelynnlatjow5641 6 років тому +7

      @@nebuchadnezzarsmith7846 I am glad you mentioned that! I live in Yuma AZ, and those tiny red ants (we call them piss ants cuz when u step on them they let out the scent of pee. It causes the ants to get aggressive & they try to swarm your feet! They have a very painful & itchy stinging bite!) will follow the scent of the sugary water, from little spills all the way to the feeder! So I put cellophane on my window awning slat & put a coating of Vaseline on it & the wire or chain leading to the feeder. As for the drips, I try to have it hanging over dirt. Then I sprinkle cinnamon over it & any piss ant hills I find! If the ants aren't bothering me, I leave them alone. They do have a role in our ecosystem.

    • @ToshAroundMac
      @ToshAroundMac 8 років тому +14

      +Dave Casey (dgcasey) Migratory species of hummingbirds don't share their ''flowers'' (feeders). They will only tolerate eachother if so many hummingbirds are around it makes trying to chase pointless.
      When few are around, they will chase competition away. You can lessen this problem by putting feeders so that one hummingbird cannot watch over both at the same time.
      For example, one in the front yard, one in the back yard so your hourse blocks the view of compeeting hummingbirds.
