2007 Ruby-throated Hummingbird Clips 1

just awesome!!! thanks - you gave me some pointers as well.. gr8 video!

Wonderful video--thanks.
I just put up two feeders in June and had a hummingbird that very day. A mother who was feeding young.
I now have at least 5, counting the mother-4 of her fledglings and a male who I believe is responsible for all the youngins!
What a wonderful and inexpensive hobby-- as long as folks know to KEEP THE FEEDERS CLEAN!
Anyway-thanks for your wonderful videos.
Can you tell me how you got that male to almost eat out of you hand? Mine are still quite skiddish of me.

Thanks, it is good to know people enjoy the videos and please visit my website e-hummingbirds. com

All Hummingbirds in my videos are Ruby-throated adult males & females or Ruby-throated immature males & females. The one in that particular time slot is an immature male. He was born a few months earlier and is starting to show red on his throat, and still has the white tips on his tail feathers in the video. This summer (2008) when he returned to the USA he was an adult male with the red throat and no white tips on his tail feathers. Who knows, he may be one of the adult males here at my house.

That is awesome!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. =) They're so cute when they bathe. Btw, what type of hummingbird is shown at 2:31-2:55?

50 plus times per second - in some cases much faster - such as the male doing his U shape flight to impress the female. Check out my website e-hummingbirds for links to sites that give lots of information on Hummingbirds.

how many flaps do the do one second?

Hummingbirds will always chase/fight because it is their God given instinct which keeps them in great shape. They could never survive the long hard flight they endure each migration if they weren't exactly like they are. The fewer you have the more they fight. They think they are chicken hawks. LOL
I have many feeders up and clean with fresh food & many flowers they love all over my backyard.

3:30 haha----looks like petrol-station LOL :D

i too very much enjoy hummingbird and have 4 and i am wondering how do yours not fight all the hummingbirds at my house are very agressive except for mates and at other people's houses i have been to they also fight and 2nd how did you attract so many i can obviously tell you have been feeding for years and the birds trust you

Wow, that's amazing. There are so many!

They're just the coolest little birds I hope I can attract some where I'm at.
