    I have lived in a R>V> Park for 12 years now , I have to set out 3 differant feeders a day in the winter, because they freeze up .. So I switch them out, several they come to my window, and look. I get up take a un –frozzen feeder out, and thy land on my shoulder till ti’s back up again. So I have 3 to 4 differant colored birds of and on all year long. They also have someone out to guard the feeders they like. I guess it’ there territory?? Life is good for all of us!!! June 4th 2020 Crazy Bob

    The comment about the bird being able to fly 30mph or 90 feet per second is incorrect. For one thing 30mph is 44 feet per second. If a hummingbird is 4″ long and it can fly 385 times its length in one second, then it can fly nearly 90 mph. 385 x 4/12 = 128 feet per second. 128/88 x 60 = 87+ mph.

    10 years ago, in Monterey California, Hummer had entered computer store and couldn’t find its way out. Employees were chasing after it with a broom trying to herd it to the door. I asked them to stop seeing that the bird was panicked and had been without food at least 10 minutes. Thought it was in serious danger of dying. It finally settled on a ledge, and I was able to gently cup my hand around it and get it down. Let its head and beak stick out between my fingers and went next-door to restaurant, where I got several packets of sugar, a straw, and water. Allowed capillary action to pull the syrupy mixture up and held its beak just at the edge of the water. (Careful not to drown it: nares are very close to the tip of the beak!) after a few minutes, its tongue flicked into the water and I could feel it stirring in my hand again. Opened my hand, and it stayed there and drank for a few seconds, then took off out of sight. Two minutes later, it came up behind me and landed on my shoulder and sat for about a minute. I assume it was recovering, but like to imagine it was saying “So long, and thanks for all the nectar.” Then it left for good, and continued on its migration. Will forever feel blessed by the experience.

    I knew people who lived up near Lassen Park in northern CA. They had 4 large feeders and so many hummers you couldn’t count them all. They would buy sugar in 25 lb. sacks! So awesome to watch them.
