The sound reminds me of a WW2 pre-attack lineup of fighters on a runway.

Funny thing about birds... They go where the food is.

I wish I had that problem! I only have 2 this year.... I usually will have around 6 or 8.

[autumnraine]

If you feed them they will come haha.

Seriously though, cutest problem ever.

Any idea where this masterpiece took place?
Thanks

We have that 'problem' too, sometimes. It's always when the majority of the rain showers move east of the Rocky Mountains. We'll normally have about half a dozen, but when the rains come, they'll show up in huge numbers.

Poor hubby can't even stand outside, it's like planes buzzing the Empire State building in the movie King Kong....his red hair is like a magnet! LOL!

When my wife put up a hummingbird feeder a few years ago, I laughed at her efforts. I had never seen an h-bird in the wild in my life of over sixty years. Well, the little birds came and dined. I couldn’t believe it. The most I’ve seen at one time is three, and they usually fight to get control. But it is fun watching them.

We have a bird infestation too, all kinds. We love it and keep 3 bird feeders full all the time and a bird bath full of water. the hummingbirds come for my red geraniums.

Posted it on my facebook page.

Note: The red dyed hummingbird nectar is unnecessary and not good for them. Almost all feeders have enough red to attract them.

One warning about hummingbirds: if one gets into your garage, don't be surprised if it flies around the ceiling until it dies, even if the garage door is wide open or partially open.

I used to feed them every summer until this happened to me last year.

I confess that I couldn't figure out how to help it free itself from its fascination(?) with or the puzzle of the "garage ceiling trap" and didn't have a net or a method of capturing such a delicate creature.

My neighbor said the same thing has happened to them a few times.

I really love hummers, so to speak, but unlike in Arizona where there are several varieties, there's only one variety here.

Kinda broke my heart to kill one with my garage or to learn that the garage ceiling is lethal to them.

Or maybe it's just that they are so dumb to get so utterly trapped like that, continually flying up at the ceiling until they die, seemingly never once looking down or looking back at the still wide open door they flew in through and could just as easily fly back out through.

I kept thinking there's a deeper message in there somewhere and haven't fed the hummingbirds since.

At our house one rufus takes over each feeder and fights off the competition. He gets so busy fighting the food gets rancid or the squirrels drink it all.

Oh, how adorable!!!

I was very excited for this year’s “hummer season”.I tracked their migration online and I put out my feeders as soon as they showed up on the East coast. Many of my plants- annuals and perennials- were chosen specifically for these little guys. I FINALLY spotted one at my bee balm last night. Hoping that they decide to investigate further and stick around!

Thanks for sharing the video....that was lovely. :)

[RandallFlagg]

Thanks for the reminder. I haven’t put the feeder out yet this year.

[coop71]

You have this problem personally? Or is this click bait?

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

I wish we had more of the little guys at our feeders!

Ya-All come to RAMSEY Canyon here in SEArizona.
