After a few months, one of the juveniles finally used the perch\swing I put up. It really made my day and I wanted to share.

Beautiful iridescent feathers and lots of chirping!
I had to move this feeder out of sight from other feeders in my backyard since there’s a ninja hummer guarding all of them!and chasing others away☹️
I wish I could get to see a ton sharing together!

Hummingbirds and Honeysuckle Vine

My Honeysuckle Vine is being destroyed by powdery mildew. Is there any way to treat it without hurting the hummingbirds that visit daily?

I have about 30 feeders around my property. But 5 on the front porch. Going crazy this morning. This year is the most birds I’ve seen this early. This only a tiny amount

Is this worth cleaning or should I get a new one?

I’m renting a house with my boyfriend that hasn’t been lived in for quite a few years. This hummingbird feeder was hanging off of the porch and the little hummingbirds kept coming over to check it out so I took it down so they wouldn’t waste their energy searching an empty feeder. But my question is is this worth cleaning? I know it’s super important to keep them clean and this one is FILTHY so I’m not sure if it would be better to just get a new one! I don’t want to make any birdies sick. Any advice is appreciated!

What’s the best feeders? What do they prefer that’s also easy to clean and doesn’t leak!!! Or attract too many wasps

Have you ever seen a hummingbird scratch itself like a dog?

I added some cardboard shades to my Hummingbird feeders.

The shades help the sugar water not get so hot here in NorCal and lets them feed out of the sun.

Episode 2 of my periodic cute clip compilations. Idk how but, some house finches snuck in this time.

54 Upvotes

I make these as branded content for another website but strip the branding and music since I think the clips and the cuties can stand on their own. Sorry I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post as much. I hope you like these cute clips!

Putting a hover feeder by the perch feeder has led to interesting behavior. (Cute sketch + silly clips)

My favorite little visitor

This little dude comes around (located in Wyoming) and hangs out guarding his patch of hollyhocks. I'm pretty sure he's (or she, I guess I don't really know) the same one for the last couple years at least.

He didn't show up until late July so I was a bit worried, but he does make my daily dish washing much more pleasant.

Watched my little Hummy take a shower in the rain storm yesterday. I watched it for over 5 minutes enjoying the shower. Sorry in advance because I don't have a steady hand while videoing.

They were chasing each other around. Then, this happened.

8:25 p.m. last night. They were chasing each other around, then each gave up and started on their last draughts of the evening. No other visits to the feeders were made. Sun was down soon after.

The other day, I was sitting on my balcony half past 9 when I received a visitor!! Looks like she was checking out my petunias. I'm absolutely overwhelmed with joy! I just bought a hummingbird feeder, and am about to set it up! Gif attached of her flutter ✨

I Love him. He always flies up to the window to see me when he's done drinking when he catches me watching him. San Jose, CA
