From Oceanside, California! We bring you Olive, our resident Allen’s hummingbird mother and her chicks, documenting their amazing lives from nest building to egg laying, hatching, feeding, growth, fledging, and beyond. Featuring high-quality live camera streams and hundreds of recorded videos.
Olive is about 3-4 years old. Her nest was originally built in in 2012, and Olive has been using it since 2022. The nest is located on a small backyard Ficus tree sheltered by shades. When not nesting, Olive spends her days pollinating local wildflowers. She also feeds from her own feeder outside our kitchen window, which she fiercely defends.
Olive returns in 2024! She started her first clutch in December 2023, and her nesting season will continue till June. Join our live streams witness Olive and her chicks' incredible journey from nest building to fledging!
