Wednesday I was sweeping the floor of the machine shop where I work when someone said a dead hummingbird was on the floor. I swept it into my dust bucket. But I thought I saw some movement so I pulled it out and held it in my right hand. It blinked. I began to pull off the cobwebs that had ended its flight. First I got its eyes free then started on one that wrapped it wings. As soon as it could move its wings it shot out of my hand and flew up to the ceiling. It was an event that lasted only moments but will be with me forever.
Sweet story.
Thank you for caring and picking him up..... so beautiful.
I hope you were able to obtain the hummingbirds love magic in return for saving its precious little life!! Incredible! Love this story!
Well done!! We have 8 that show up every year!! That's in the country! In town they come n go? ❤❤
How did you get it off the ceiling? I have them get inside my great room vaulted ceiling where I can't reach them; all they do is keep hitting the ceiling and staying right up against it. They eventually tire and come down but where I never know; I don't have time to spend hours waiting for them to come down. I find them weeks later, dead. If they do come down while I'm watching they take off so fast I can't catch them. So all I can do is be sure to keep the outside doors closed because it's a death sentence if they get inside.
My wife and I have been feeding Hummingbird’s for 40 years. The amount of Hummingbird’s varies from year to year. Each Hummingbird has their own personality. If we forget to put out the feeders in the beginning of the season one of the Hummingbirds will tap on the window where we are sitting to let us know they have arrived and want food.
Hummingbird’s? The hummingbird’s nest. The hummingbird’s favorite food. The hummingbird’s personality. If two hummingbirds shared a nest it would be the two hummingbirds’ nest. You were feeding hummingbirds. Not the hummingbird’s. Capiche?
@@outerrealm bro shut up u making ppls brains hurt
@@outerrealm you sound like a lovely person.
@@outerrealm I love you! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have a female that looks in the windows where ever I am to see what's going on. I love her ❤
Hummingbirds are just like shooting stars. Such a pleasure to see.
Today a hummingbird feeds one foot from where I sit in my backyard; my first experience, which I will never forget.
I have a repeat hummingbird who builds her nest in our tree. She gave me a gentle reminder to put out the feeder by flying by the window a couple of times.
Lo
I have several hummingbird nests on my property, and a couple of them I can look into. They both have eggs in them. I make sure my feeders are always full. I want them to stay around. (Jan Griffiths).
I have a hummingbird that built her nest 🪹 on my patio right in front of my kitchen window, she laid two eggs and now they have hatched. It’s amazing to watch her and when she feeds her babies. Will be sad to see them go. I’m in love watching them ♥️♥️♥️
I bet her eggs were tiny, how divine.
Yes they were and now they are ready to leave the nest 🪹 I was taking a picture of them both from a far and then one few off! Now I am watching the last baby . Loved watching them stretch their tiny wings ♥️♥️♥️
Sweet memories. Hopefully they will come back to nest again next season. ❤
Let us know what happens this year. How long between hatching and leaving?
@@theresa7659They may be back again! They come back to the same area year after year 😊😊
Hummingbirds are sooooo cute and small with beautiful colours 💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤💜💙💚💛🧡❤
LOVE THEM!! Cutest birds I saw mostly in my friends house is in Texas where she used to prepare sweet water for the to drink since she did not have flowers. Instead I had a ton of flowers in my garden so they used to come to enjoy the nectar of my many flowers: absolutely the cutest bird together with the finches that I love just as much. Nature is the best gift that God gave to us all andrespecting every single of HIS creations is what I LOVE the most. Angela Umbria Italy :)

I'm in Texas n we have a place by Round Top n they r little 🐷 😊they play al day around the feeder!! In town we have a few but don't c them every day?
I’m here because I found a hummingbird nest in my back yard. The little eggs are the size of a tick-tac . I’m blessed to have this hummingbird and her new family in my back yard.
I found their nest but they had already abandoned it, but the nest is really interesting.
@@virginiaevans8138 why dont you sit on it maybe eggs will hatch.
@@soflodoug Are you telling me to “sit on it” like the Fonz? There is a plethora of humming birds here, so I’m sure they’ve hatch and are blissfully sipping nectar in my garden.😁
Wow thanks for that !!! 😊

My hummingbirds are on year 6 of returning to me. I turned my back porch into a hummingbird heaven for them. I love that they feel safe coming into my home.

That is so nice. I live in the UK and have never seen one. You are very privilaged and it is really nice that you care the way you do.

I just adore these little guys. And 'bold' isn't the word. They're truly fearless. They'll spot a bumblebee from a hundred yards off raiding their stash and chase them off, it's so funny. After becoming friends with them, they'll jump right onto your hand to drink or get a goodie. They'll sit on a dish right in front of you while you shower them, it's so adorable. I would leave the window open in my house. My house was filled with tropical plants and flowers. I kept a growing colony of fruit flies in among the plants and flowers, and boy do they gobble them up. Hummers would fly in and spend the day in that room. Their little nests are fabulous and beautiful little creations. I also had pools of fish in there so it all may have been a bit too humid for a Sonoran desert bird, but they all sure seemed to like it in there. I kinda was hoping that one of them would choose some places in there to build a nest; what a fabulous experience it'd be to watch them build those very precise little architectures. Their nectar needs to be very carefully formulated to maintain their health. The tiniest of Hummers is a bird so tiny it's really hard to believe. I mean insect size, literally. The little things will challenge anything bigger that bugs-em You'll see the little dive-bombers perch on some branch, and dart back and forth into a cloud of Mayflies, snatching up one after another. If you invite them with a feeder or something else that appeals to them you'll be treated to some of the more uncommon varieties. It looks like their beaks are just these long tube-like things, but there not. They open their beaks like any other bird, it's just that their beaks (and that long little transparent tongue) are modified to reach deep into flowers. It's so funny to see them perch right next to you and just once-in-a-while glance at you, as if you were just some tree or a fencepost. Their eggs are like little perals. Their nests are so dainty they'll use spider webbing as part of it's construction. They are truly jewels of the sky.
They are so enchanting, magical and clever!

I was lucky to watch a tiny hummingbird build her nest here in Cozumel. She laid 2 eggs and they hatched. Beautiful birdies.

Found the neighbors cat with something under a 8 foot tall bush in my driveway. The cat had a baby bird, no feathers at all, The cat seing me jammed, I picked up the baby, Yes I Do No Not 2 Do That But, .....It's a Baby! In the rose bushes a bird was yelling like an alarm. It was the Hummingbird Mommy. Found the little nest about 5 foot up the tree the baby was under, Put it back in the nest Hoping after the cats mouth and my hand Mommy doesn't reject it. Came back slowly 30 min. later and mommy was in her nest but now everyday I hear the mommy yelling like the alarm and when I go out, the cat is right there! I guess I did what I can but Mother Nature is going to do what it's going to do and it's not like I can set up camp in the driveway till it can fly. As posting this the mommy has called again and had to go chase the dam cat! ........Again!!🤨
@@huntingtonbeachsasquatch Tell your neighbors to keep their cat inside. He has no business being out anyway. Not only dangerous for the birds, but for him as well. (Jan Griffiths).
I have a friend that puts out feeders every day. He said they would fly around his head in anticipation for the food. They do recognize you.
Most definitely. I have a popular feeder. They even eat out of my hand when I hold the feeder. They even fly up to me and hum and make squeaky noises.
I feed hummingbirds, and they will come when I make a certain sound, and hover in front of my face looking at me, and I take that as a thank you
I have a feeder on a hanger off my patio. They will fly in and land on the hanger and stare at my patio door until I come out and change the water in the feeder. Recently I bought some flowers that they supposedly like and put them below the feeder and they weren’t feeding on the flowers. So I moved the feeder close to the patio door down on the cement, hoping they would go to the flowers. They just got pissed off and came at my head and went over to feeder on the ground by my door-which wasn’t where they wanted it to be lol
Yes they do. I have a bunch in my yard from putting out just 6 feeders. It was time to take them down to clean them. I brought the first one back out and one almost landed on it (while holding it by hand for them) but another one dive bombed him and they both flew off fighting. A few of them will hover over my head looking down at me when I sit under the feeders to watch them.
They do that to me too! It's so cool
Hummingbirds are such awesome birds. Beautiful and unique, thanks for sharing!
This was extremely informative! Literally everything I ever wanted to know about the bird!! Most of the things I had no idea about!! Like being able fly upsidedown. Great video!!
The fact is they’re BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
These Creatures are Soo, intelligent. The Hummingbirds that come to My feeders have came to the back yard to get me when the feeders Needed replenishing. Simply marvelous!!!
That is awesome! They are very smart I've noticed too. When I take the feeder in to clean it and refill it, they watch me do so from the kitchen window. They just hover and stare at me until I bring it back out!
I missed those birds ! I grew up in Mexico..And when you come to see something like that for a moment..!! Beautiful world where we are ..
So honored that a hummingbird visits my porch every day and I don't have no hummingbird feeder just flowers for me this is so enchanting 😍
They come to my flowers as well. I enjoy watching them 😊
Look at bird bath 🐄🦩
They are such beautiful colorful tiny birbs :3
I used to get chewed out if the feeder near my front door was empty when I got home from work. To be dressed down by such a tiny creature is very humbling.
They also recognize themselves. I just made a video of a hummingbird after he saw himself on video. The second recording he's doing more of a performance. I just uploaded it.
Watching the beautiful hummingbirds flying is like watching beautiful little birds ballet dancing in the air with their little wings thank you so much for sharing the beautiful video @ Facts.Net👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️

Most important fact not covered is that if you do not change the sugar water in your hummingbird feeder quite often, it ferments (especially in the Arizona sun) and poisons the humming birds.
How often should it be replaced ?
@@robdonell9915 More often in Arizona than in Washington state. More often in the summer than in the winter. Googling "hummingbird food spoilage" will lead to some baseline information.
@@robdonell9915 every 2-3 days but sooner if it's extremely hot
Thank you.
here in northern NM, I have 3 feeders out and have to ffill them all 2x a day! 4 quarts worth! I clean them every other feeding so mold doesnt build up. there are probably 30 birds here in the morning and seems even more n the evening. One day we were gone and came home to empty feeders and no birds. I filled the feeders and within minutes, they all came back. we have 5 kinds here, Annas, Broadtailed, Rufus, Calliope and Black chinned. One curious thing - I have a planter with gorgeous red Nasturtiums right by the feeders, but hummers dont seem to go to them?
I live in the Las Vegas NV area and they are all over here. I love seeing them, a few weeks ago a tree, I think it is the smoke tree, was covered in yellow blooms and I sat in my backyard and counted 9 hummingbirds in that tree. It was amazing to watch. I was telling a neighbor across the street about it and she told me “as you were telling me that there was a hummingbird hovering not far behind you!” These are my favorite birds even more so than the desert quails that live in the area, but both are fascinating critters to watch. ❤️❤️ Thank you for all the information on them.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love my hummingbirds, I usually have 20-25 a day, they love to feed in the rain!
I love hummingbirds.

These little miracles are delightful, always enjoy filming them!
Thx for giving this fact, this fact help me doin my homework about humming birds
Enjoyed this video 👍🏽👍🏽
I'm sitting on my porch now watching hummingbirds fight over the sweet water I made them💙
How often do you change the water?
I recently put up a feeder for first time and have 1 lil guy that visits daily, I hope he brings friends. Their so fascinating to watch, I never knew they chirped also…so amazing!
I also see only 1 . I hope more come.
If you want more hummers in your yard - you'll need more feeders spaced apart from each other. Hummers are solitary and territorial - they don't share or make friends and families.
If you have only one or two, they are very territorial, and chase each other. When there is a larger population, they become much more acomodating.
@@catherinehenry2291 If you place several feeders out and keep them filled, they will learn there is a reliable supply of food that doesn't run out and find less need to compete and be territorial over what in nature is a limited food source.
"They" say that you actually have about 6x the number of hummingbirds that you actually see!m🤔😏
My neighbor has feeders in her back yard, and the hummingbirds come over into my yard and feed on some of the citrus flowers and I’ve seen them flying around certain shrimp plants too. I love watching their incredible speed.
I wish there was a way to test their intelligence I have witnessed them in bold interactions revealing curiosity for the unusual
I loved watching the video, I have few feeders,enjoy watching them daily. I cook the nectar, no food coloring, they love it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. 💕💕❤️❤️👍👍🙏
Please tell me how you fix the nectar if you don't mind.😊
@@cathyeverette3616 Hi, I boil water, shut it off.add the sugar, stir until you see no sugar, then store leftover on fridge. 1/4. Sugar to 1 cup of water. I make eight cups of water with two cups sugar. Kool.. I clean with vinegar and water, then use a brush to clean feeders. I am joy you so much watching them. Marie. I am sorry for errors, I have to get some reading glasses. Just had surgery on eyes. 😍
Thank you so much! I have have 3 hummingbirds but would love more. I appreciate you responding. Have a blessed day!!!
@@cathyeverette3616 You are welcome. I have four feeders out. Don’t add too much food in feeders, they need cleaning about three days, I try not to waste. I have had six -eight birds at once on feeders. Love it. Blessings to you also, good luck. I💕💕🙏🙏
I made my nectar 1c. Sugar to 2 c. Water microwave container put on high for 3 minutes check it out add more till sugar dissolves. Put some in feeder sore rest in refrigerator. Very little nectar is needed since it supplies a lot more sugar for them than usual. Clean feeder every 3 days if temp. is in 60 and more often when temp is higher...miss having them . Don't be surprised if bees or other birds come to sample or visit your feeder.
These are amazing little creatures !
ALL creatures are amazing!
Such gorgeous little animals. Jesus makes the most beautiful things! ❤️✝️❤️

Right? I have a guard hummingbird that won't let any other hummingbirds feed. Also have two living walls of morning glories on the same porch as the feeder. She has claimed her territory. She is a big bully, or rather a little bully. Lol
Fascinating hummingbirds with intelligent flying backwards, upside down , hover, deceptive colors and migrate many miles. 👀♥️💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I hope u get to see one somewhere. I never thought I'd see one where I live and when I did, I gasped and almost dropped my coffee!!
Bridget, they truly are beautiful to watch. Three years ago one made a nest in the Ficus tree in my little backyard. She layed 2 eggs and I had the privilege of watching her feed once they hatched. The nest itself was amazing to see so up close. I even have a Video of one of the birds when it flew away. It was a gift from God to get to watch for about three weeks the part of her journey from nest building , watching for an egg, waiting for them to hatch, feeding and sadly when the two flew away.
Бог щедр на красоту❤
Thank you for beautiful magical video thumbs up for all loved hummingbird
Et aussi ils ont de grands appétits They have a big appetite and love to eat!
Hummingbirds are such awesome birds. Beautiful and unique, thanks for sharing!. Hummingbirds are just like shooting stars. Such a pleasure to see..
I have a feeder thats never empty. When they know there is always food, lots of them show up. I also run a floating solar powered hummingbird shower in the summer. They really like that.
Really enjoyed this video! Watched it with my 4 1/2 year old daughter. We have several hummingbird feeders in our back yard, and take great delight in appreciating their beauty and playfulness.

I always new that hummingbirds were the best, but now I know they're the coolest birds ever!!!
It's always the little things that count most! 🤍🧡💙❤💛💜💚
They do mate for life. I had many couples in my yard that returned every year. They also live longer than 5 years. Mine did anyway.
If you are banding them and recapturing them every year to verify they are the same birds every year, then you might be right. But if you are not banding them, then there is no way you can verify it is the same birds returning every year.
@@gordonkarre6364 you don't spend much time in nature with the wildlife, do you? I had 2 greenhouses, multiple gardens and an orchard. My main companions were the hummingbirds and my dogs. The hummingbirds were very communicative and would let me know when their feeders were empty. A couple of them also liked to surprise me and "stalk" me. They can be little tricksters too. They are extremely territorial so I made sure to provide them with multiple feeders to avoid any conflict over food. The couples would fly around together untill their eggs were lain and hatched. Then I would see them individually feeding and flying around. They took turns watching over their children, and we're extremely dedicated parents. I knew each bird in my yard by their behavior and markings, and yes, the same couples returned to my yard year after year. This is such a hard reality for humans to face, but when animals are not stressed and abused they behave differently than how zookeepers and hunters claim they do. Not everyone is a whore😹🚬 We can't say that about most humans anymore, can we?....the ones that engage in unnatural behavior including sodomy and adultery are facing the reality that their behavior causes imbalance and leaves children without the sincere Love and care they need. Children have divine rights. So do our animal friends. If we don't respect the lives of all SINCERELY LOVING KIND-HEARTED BEINGS, we can't really expect mother nature to respect our lives, now can we?
@@christinecallanan8389 I most definitely spend a lot of time in nature and the outdoors. I am also an ornithologist and spend most of my time researching and observing birds and their behaviors. I also have hummingbirds in my back yard all year long and see many species of them in Arizona. So please try not to assume anything about me and my knowledge. All I am saying, is that without scientific verifiable data, one cannot assume that same pairs return every year. In fact, hummingbirds do not mate for life. Males will breed with a female and move on and look for other females. Rufous Hummingbirds migrate 2500 miles from Mexico to Canada and Alaska. Once the females arrive after the males, then breeding males will mate and leave the females on their own for the incubation and raising of the young. Many males will start migrating back to Mexico as early as July. If you can band and recapture and release on a yearly basis and document your findings, then you will have provided scientific data.
@@gordonkarre6364 don't tell me what I know to be true to not be then. The worst threat to the animal "kingdom" is humans who claim they are behave like Babylonians, when they are in fact VERY loving and loyal to their mates and families. Sodomy is very rare in Nature, and not desirable at all, since it is really a perverted version of a NATURAL act, but it's the new "normal" according to the perverts in power. I don't have to ban and capture innocent brings to prove something natural that can easily be observed. I stand by my observations and know who my REAL friends are. 🤗💖 (I didn't read all of your post....it got a little too preachy and demanded I pay more attention to your credentials than the truth. Let's just agree to different experiences with our animal friends ) Have a great day😁
@@gordonkarre6364 maybe we should "chip" them to prove their loyalty.😹 (I'm being facetious)
Ce sont des oiseaux 🦅 mouches et des libellules très mignonnes 🥰 et si délicate! They are very pretty and small in size but beautiful to watch 🥰
I live in Michigan and had a wire by my bay window stretching around 20 feet from my porch post deep into a pine tree where I kept about 4 - 6 feeders going - changing the 4:1 strength water/ sugar nectar every 3 days - to keep my nectar bacteria free. Well I learned "the heck with my hanging fucia". They would buzz me when ever I took the feeders down for cleaning. Sometimes they would line up 6+ on my wire. I read somewhere that there are usually 6x as many hummers feeding than you ever see at one time! Don't you just 💕😘 them!! (P.S. I use black oil seeds to feed their counterparts in the ❄️ winter 🥶!
Very beautiful birds. I love hummingbirds. I don´t always feel like a happy hummingbird. I think it is luck to see a real hummingbird or hummingbirds.
I am so lucky that my ex boyfriend always called me a hummingbird. So I feel that I am that person. I have my real name and will not change it as other false people do.

Anna’s Hummingbirds definitely winter in Seattle. I see them everyday, year round.
I really love about the hummingbird because I got some in my yard cool
I'm normally very frightened by birds but I love seeing hummingbirds when I'm sitting on my porch. I've just hung a red nectar for the feeding
I love them
We love them and have put up many feeders and let me tell you they are humming all over our yard. They make a deep swoop sound. Over our heads. And can be very friendly and land on your hand. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
They can also be territorial. My hummers will often chase each other away from the feeder even though I keep it full and there are plenty of feeding stations.
Dood, why the hell would you have a profile Pic wearing a mask of obedience.... Let alone wearing it inside I would assume where you live, or why would anyone actually put one on ever. Sigh... The internet amongst other things have just ruined people on a large scale. Logic and reason are few and far between. But yssssssssssssssss hummingbirds are the best. You do you tho my guy. If it makes ya feel safe that is coo, just not sure i would personally ever show myself in a Pic with that muzzle on, then again I would never have one on nor be in any pictures
I know I have had one hanging around that likes to chase the other hummingbirds away
@@pun1382 You do not have permission to insult other people's choice to protect themselves! " Live and Let Live" means just that! Mind your own business! How do you have time to insult or criticize others? Get a damn life so you are too busy to bother others!😂
@@pun1382 My thoughts too when I saw that pic.
