A beautiful, amazing video!! I love watching these guys hover around and on our feeder. Early in your video a small banner pops up about your nectar recipe and substitute for the red dye and a request to read the description. I was unable to access that information and was curious as to where I might find it. I use 1 part water to 4 parts raw sugar with no color added. I think the red coloring is possibly more attractive to them. Thanks for making your wonderful video available to us.

Hummingbirds are birds that can fly backwards which most bird can’t do it. and it can flap wings 12 to 90 times which is fastest than the other birds. This kind bird is small but fascinating.

The video looks amazing. I think the hummingbirds eating out of my hand would be an experience that I would look forward to. I could almost feel the tickling sensation when the birds land on my hand.

I have taught a robin to feed from my hand but it took a number of weeks to get to that stage. For these tiny hummingbirds to so readily do this really does seem like a miracle. Many thanks for a really amazing video.

I enjoyed the hummingbird video so much. They are the most facinating creatures to observe. I Have several who visit me. What is the nectar made of that you feed the hummers? I just give them 1c. sugar to 4 cups of boiled water and cooled. Am I doing something bad for them?
