• 2 hours long! Hummingb...
Hummingbirds can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12--80 times per second. They can also fly backwards. They are among the smallest of birds about 3-4 inches long. Their name derives from the characteristic hum made by their rapid wing beats. They can fly at speeds exceeding 34 miles per hour. Hummingbirds drink nectar, a sweet liquid inside certain flowers. and by preying on insects and spiders.
This 2 hour video was filmed in January, 2012 in Southern California near San Diego. Most of the birds are Anna's Hummingbird which is a year-round resident. You can occassionally see other hummingbirds that have migrated from Costa Rica. There are a total of 3 feeders which consume about 2 gallons per day of (use 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Ie: 30 oz container. 30/5=6. 6x4=24 oz water, 6 oz granulated sugar; no dye has been added). The amount consumed suggest these feeders support hundreds of hummingbirds. The males have more colorful plummage. The location of the feeder is in the backyard overlooking a golf course. The feeders have been at this location for 3 years! Just before sunset they become numerous.

When I lived in Texas I had 7 feeders in my back yard. I would go out and stand very still by the feeders and they would land on me. I was in heaven!
52lionsmane that truly sounds divine!!! 🤩
Oh My!! That sounds so cool. I am in Atlanta and consider it astounding that I could even see 2 (!) at the feeder at all! They stayed for maybe 15 minutes total, darting in and out of the bush to sip. They are so amazing. I guess lucky to have any at all but living in a place where they are more populous would be so excellent. Thanks for sharing that.
What a great experience! I'm jealous!
I Would Love To Have That Happen
I Live In Covington Ga And I Only Have Three
Hello from west coast of Canada! I have ONE little female that has come by my balcony for the last year, where i have flowers growing. They remember where they have been, which is amazing to me. She is all brown which tells me she's female. It always makes me happy when i see her. You have sooo many Hummingbirds that visit you that you have enticed me to get a Hummingbird feeder, which will help them maintain their energy with all the flying they do and keep them happy. Thank you, ❤️ the vid.!
Love this!!! When our kitty Squeaky got older, we had to give her sub-q fluids twice a day. So we sat in front of the computer and watched videos like this on full screen. She would just sit quietly and watch in rapt attention while we stuck the needle in and administered her fluids.
Precious little hummingbirds! Love to watch (and listen to) them fly!
The thing that's sad, is that I could watch this for almost two hours. LOVE hummers!
whys that sad?
Because I could watch it for hours and get nothing else done! 😀
@@marthastout43 watching them is very soothing, work can wait a few ✌🙂
Not sad at all. One of life's miracles to marvel at and be thankful.
Such tiny birds, such very high pitched chirping. And the sound their wings make.
These birds are SO insect like in how they feed and fly. It's like mother nature had just finished off making the birds and the bees, and then she decided to use the scraps left over from both, and created the hummingbird!. So much so, there is even a hummingbird moth who mimics them!.
I like how the hummingbirds try to avoid getting into a fight, such lovely creatures
They can startle you when they fly up suddenly.
What absolutely enchanting little beasties. Lucky America.
Don't you just love that sound their wings make.
Like little Helicopters…the Nature is
incredible 🍀🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I have only 2-3 hummers here in Ct.....☹️.........but I’m thankful, & cherish them!!!
surprising to see them all so tolerant of each other. usually they're hateful. at least that's how the ones visiting our two feeders behave. which makes me smile when i hear people say, "awww, they're so sweet." um, nope. not really. they're actually jerks, lol. great video, thanks for posting!
Yeah, the one's around here are very territorial and vicious little things.
You are so right! People are always saying aww they are so cute. Which they are. And then I tell them how vicious they are when dive bombing and body slamming their rival!!
KingTesticus The hummers in my back yard are very territorial, and chase each other off.
Robert S
yeah, i only see the girls share, and that's very infrequently. i recently added a 3rd feeder and that quieted them for all of two days. no fights. but "peace" didn't last long. we call it the Hummie Hunger Games ;-)
KingTesticus They are tolerant because it seems that all of them are plenty of food.
I really love hummingbirds.
At about 1:03:15, a wasp lands on the feeder just left of center. At this point, their is a ruby-throated humming bird at center frame that is sipping while staying airborne. There is a little copper colored one on the right who is sipping comfortably while perched. He keeps looking up expectantly the feeder like he was waiting for a resuly. Just then, bubbles erupt in the feeder! The bird on the right is looking like he was very pleased to make those bubbles - though i know that can't possibly be, AND the feeder appears to have more in it, though! I don't see any hoses unless they are up and out of frame.
I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely view into the lives these remarkable little birds. Thank You!
You NEED more hummingbird feeders,The hummingbirds are all like "I want some nectar!HEY,I'm still drinking!"
Love seeing them perch like that and tolerate each other. Those look like annas hummers but mine are so territorial and nasty to each other I had to hang 6 smaller feeders to keep the peace haha. My bigger feeders with perches hardly ever saw perching because they are always paranoid looking for other hummers. They like me far more than other hummers and even wait by my hand for me to hang the fresh feeder fills sometimes. They sure are bold, curious little guys and gals. My neighbors all think im some hummingbird addicted weirdo, which I am..But who can blame me? Just look at them. A wonder of nature for sure.
Jason Watson
No your neighbors are just jealous because you’re a kind hearted person with a calm and soothing heart ❤️ for the hummingbirds 🌼😍🌼😍
Who cares what they think. You're doing the right thing helping these lil gentle and beneficial Hummers out.
As far as them being territorial, ALL nature has a hierarchy.
They're just fine AND so are you. ✌🙂
The hummers at my feeder probably burn off the energy they just took in by squabbling with each other. It's still early spring so hopefully they'll relax once more flowers are blooming. So far no more than two have shown up at the same time. If it gets more congested, I'll add another feeder.
And doves sign of tranquility positive energy is easily recognized by all of natures critters , 🤔✌️👍💪🙏😸🌎🖖💙
Hummingbirds are very cute and awesome to watch
When I watch videos like this one of these little critters I feel as if there's a party going on in my eyes!. I like this very much.
Man, I have like 20 birds who feed in my yard, and I thought that was a lot. I was super excited when I saw 5 birds finally sit on one feeder, and drink in peace. But THIS is just crazy. I am only 40 minutes south of you, but I will strive to achieve this one day!!! Thanks for posting... I now have a new goal!!!

This is so sweet, Little cute Humming Birds flying to get food. Adorable! :)
Too beautiful for this world..
My mom will enjoy this video. Thank you very much.
I use 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Ie: 30 oz container. 30/5=6. 6x4=24 oz water, 6 oz granulated sugar; no dye has been added
i love the guys waiting for a go.... lol the ones drinking are like ' ooh not yet buddy....'
It's amazing how accurately the hit the hole with there beaks
Juan martinez Holy crap you're right haha
Bob Newhart show
Birds have very keen eyesight! The better to "draw a bead on" which port they're aiming for. Lol 💜
It's almost as if their lives depend on being able to feed properly.
The low pitched buzzing sound is a lot like the light sabers on Star Wars.
How beautiful
I have about 20 feeders and maybe 150 birds. I love them. They come and go. Live in Texas too.
They're like big, adorable hoverflies
You have so many hummers!! We have 5 feeders and 1 VERY territorial male who works hard all day to keep all others away and I so wish ours could like like yours with them all feeding happily!
LOVE HOW MANY YOU HAVE ATTRACTED TO YOUR FEEDER AND THE FROGS CROAKING EVERY SO OFTEN LOL
Holy molly that’s soo many hummingbirds I want one soooo bad❤️
They are just amazing! Very fascinating species. I also live in San Diego county and have four feeders up all the time. I live near the coast near Encinitas. For me the winter months is when they become most numerous, and as you mentioned, ESPECIALLY around sunset. I'll look and every port on every feeder will have a hummer on it. I also noticed the more of them there are the more tolerant they become of sharing. where as when there are only a handful present, there may be one or two, (usually Allen's or Rufous) that become territorial, sometimes fiercely so. Awesome video! Always great to see a fellow nature lover.
The Ruby throats are what we have here in Missouri and they are very territorial. I can't help but laugh at them dive bombing each other while I set on my porch and watch them
It is so beautiful that I have no words to describe this view and sound.
It's like the sound of a bumblebee...?
That looks to be a tremendously fine design for a feeder
And I have just two magical humminbirds that visit my hummingbirdfeeder on my fourth floor balcony in Boulder, Colorado!
I feed and watch birds too, hummingbirds are among the most interesting. They fly up suddenly and the sound their wings make!
hummingbirds makes me happy every time I see and hear them and I wish one day I can see them in real life
WOW!! I feel lucky if I get 3 different hummingbirds in an entire day! This is amazing.
What you need is an air traffic controller.
HAHAHA
They are fastest. Of smallest bird
Alive
Once a male. Came close to me
Flying around. And hovering eye to eye with me
I stand still and quite
Only moving my eyes
He started humming alot
Moving closer to my face he was
Checking me out
I look at him he come meet me
For days
In the spring time
Last year
I hope he comes
Back this year
😂
😄
@@davidlavalleur4426 the sound their wings make!!!!!
Major Tom . 🤔😸😔✌️👍🙏💪
This is so amazing, they're not jerks, they're very territorial. And there's a protocol in which they normally feed. But they don't like to share.
I love hummingbirds! I did’t realize they were so speedy! I’ve never actually seen one. You have to really look since they are only three inches long.
I hadn't noticed them until one buzzed past my head as I sat on my patio. I put feeders out and there are 4 now. I can spot them perching in the pine trees. Hubby has now started watching them
Man, that's A LOT of birds. I can't believe they aren't fighting more. The little girl in my backyard OWNS her feeder!!!
Need more feeders! 🙏 💕
I get these gray and dark red ones by my house here in the East San Francisco Bay area. I have two large feeders and these guys love it!!!
They sound like over-sized bees! XD love 'em!
i would imagine if you walked out covered in grenadine you'd be assaulted by cuteness xD
Could it be that they are so tolerant of each other because there are multiple feeders here at this location? Surprising to see them generally well behaved.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic video!
Like everybody else my humming birds chase each other off I have one pair that makes sure that the other one almost never gets to eat I think its the Rufous Hummingbird.
What ever you got going on with your set up is amazing thanks for sharing. Now I
got go check and see if Mr. squirrel is in the bird feeder.
I'm calling it here and now........a 360 video would be one of the most watched on youtube.
This video is amazing and very calming. So lucky to have this in your back yard. This video was put on in 2012, I wonder if in 2018 if they still have this many????
It's 2022 and I wonder has it grown?
This looks like a tropical setting...East of the Mississippi we only have Ruby Throats which are all territorial...
OMG!! From 20:54 the two feeding from the single yellow plastic flower back shot/footage was phucking amazing n precious. Nature. True wild beauty at it's f!nest!
We have a saucer-shaped hummingbird feeder which is leak proof. We get a lot of Ruby Throated hummers, here in San Diego. We love to watch them! We also get a lot of Finches at our bird seed feeder, outside our dining window. While we eat, we watch them eat!
Beautiful! I have 3 feeders now and they still battle. They chill out a little right around dusk--it's about survival then ;->
3:54 I love the one that just comes in zooming from the left, stops with precision, then zooms off. They are so freaking fast. I read that at top speed they can move up to 90 feet per second! Wow
I'd be in HEAVEN surrounded by all those hummingbirds.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I love that 2 are sharing the same port at around 20:45 :)
Best video ever!! We don't see many in New England, and normally only the Ruby-throated.
I love this birds, so tiny, so colorful, so perfect. thanks for uploading hummingbird videos
great capture of sound as well as sights. nice!
never seen so many happy hummers in one place!!
I find humming birds fascinating, thank-you so much for sharing;) subscribing ;))
Absolutely gorgeous 😍!! Hummingbird season is at least three months away, so I'm getting my fix here!
Ps. I also feed mine sugar water. and actually have the same feeder that you do. You are cool!
i saw just 1 for my first time since getting a feeder and i flipped out!
(pretty sure it was an anna's hummingbird)
good googly moogly look at them all!
Awesome
great video, thanks. it seems hummers like golf courses always seems to be more birds around them.
I put this on for my cat and he loved it 😁👍🏼
I love it, thanks for the upload..music to my ears and it almost puts me to sleep..
fantastic fanscinating little creatures LOVE THEM!! i only see a few during summer months with my feeder make my ownnectar thats recommended 4 to 1 ratio another words four cups of water with one cup of sugar regular granulated nothing more!! great video
I Wish I Had This Many At My Feeders
I just showed this to my cat and he went nuts.
My cats loved the video, they swated at the screen a few times.
Never had a hummingbird feeder looks interesting and fun to watch.
That's Amazing! So beautiful! Wonderful Video. Thank YOU!!!
That’s so cuttteeeee!
Hi there Thank you for this wonderful share ~ such a nice content ,Keep it up and stay safe, stay connected. Warm greetings from New York.
My hummingbirds do more fighting than drinking ;->
Maria Lucia Gomez-Greenberg Put up more feeders to help this. It worked for me to have two.
I had 4 feeders and they still fought quite a bit, pretty spectacular dogfights in the air.
I have 3 feeders now, and they still fight--maybe it is their nature. They remind me of teenagers ;->
I had one buzzing me every time I would sit in my backyard There was a feeder there when I moved in but not used. My mom is totally into hummingbirds and was visiting me. She pointed out what this male anna was doing buzzing the feeder and then coming within inches from my face. So I started the one feeder. What a bully so I put another up. Weeks later I had 11 feeders and could watch 7 feeders from my favorite spot in the yard It gave me something to do with my old broken fishing poles they make great hangers. The next year when they came back OMG is was awesome and then I moved I gave away all my feeders to my neighbors to keep my hummers in the hood. I seriously loved them and just smiled every time I saw them. I had one that if I went thru my back door and out the front he would here the door and buzz my face as I came down my stairs When I changed my feeders out I would be at my table and what a ruckus it was until I re-hung them. This one perched really close to me trying to defend the 7 feeders I could see to no avail. I also could raise my arm up and down and he would go straight up and the dive at me then returning to his perch I swear it was like having a pet do a trick.
They are very territorial~
For those "dislikes" by people that disapprove of feeds because they think they are not good for the birds you are wrong. Here are two experiences that tell me otherwise.
1) A KGO talk show host disapproved of feeders because he thought they prevented birds from migrating. Wrong! I put up a new feeder in the middle of winter and my first humming bird approached the feeder 30 seconds after I put it up.
2) I had had a feeder on the back porch and took it down because of practical reasons. THREE years later I saw what was apparently a migrating humming bird approach the awning at the exactly point the feed had been hung and flew around back and forth looking for something at exactly that spot. There was NO DOUBT from the bird's actions that it was looking for the feeder I used to have there.
John ... I put one out every year (in the NE) on my patio about the third week in May. Occasionally, they get up north a bit earlier. They "announce" their arrival by hovering just outside my kitchen window for a few days!! I read somewhere they live perhaps five years if they're lucky. Once I put the feeder out, they stop hovering. I swear they must know who puts it out for them. Several years ago, my wife insisted on painting the patio ceiling to brighten it up while I was at work. She wore a bright blouse covered in almost fluorescent red flowers, and each time they came to the feeder, they tried to "access" the flowers on her blouse. lolol
Thanks, I enjoyed your comments. Here is another interesting experience. I used to travel some so we made the decision to take down the feeder because there was nobody to tend it. It was a couple of years later that I decided to put one up again. It was in the middle of December and we had not had a feeder up in years. But within thirty seconds after I put it up it up and stood under it to admire it, WE GOT OUR FIRST CUSTOMER! I since asked those at the Audubon Society about feeders keeping Hummingbirds from migrating, and they said no, if a hummingbird is to migrate it will, feeder or not.
John Sellers John .. There was an article in a Sunday newspaper some years ago regarding a small island and another area on the southern edge of Lake Erie, either on the northern edge of Ohio or Pennsylvania. They had a series of photos of people who resided there who had put up a number of feeders. it was a stop-over point for hummers flying north into Canada, providing nourishment for those who had to fly across the lake. Every spring and late summer those feeders were swamped with hummers on their way northward, then returning south for the winter. It would have been interesting to BE there when the swarm arrived. They are extremely territorial, so the most I have had visiting my feeder were five -- two males and three females. They learned how to be clever and avoid the dominant hummers. I hung the feeder under the roof of the patio out of the rain on the support beam for the roof. Although they are impossible to identify physically, except for gender, you could identify them by their habits, so I instantly knew they were not the same individuals. One male would always perch on the cable wire leading to my house, guarding the feeder and attempted to chase others away. He always fought with the other male and wouldn't allow him near, then return to the wire. All three females learned to fly in very low from the opposite end of the patio so they wouldn't be seen. One female would always fly around the feeder in several circles before she lit on the feeder. Another female, knowing the male was on that wire, would sneak in and go directly to the feeder. The third female, if you or anyone else were sitting at the table, would always fly up to your face first and hover about 12 inches away from your nose for a few seconds before she approached the feeder. Obviously, that one was my favorite. lol .
dang they have great precision
I've got 2 feeders, and the hummingbirds are VERY territorial. I never see more than 1 or 2 at the feeder because they always chase each other away. They can get pretty mean!
my cats thank you.. this movie keeps them occupied for 2 hours
I watch this often. My dominant male Anna just died last night. we've been together for a few years now. do you ever allow visitors? Odd request I know, so if not, can possibly you recommend any spots in Oceanside that are hummingbird heavy like this? So good for the heart. Thank you for this video.
My cat gives this video four paws up!
That's a busy hummer feeder!!
You need more feeders out! Mostly male Annas w/some females and a few male & female Rufous. Nice show!
One more thing,I saw this INSANE hummingbird feeder With at least 22 feeding ports,its a pipe feeder.
Thank U for this video!! I live in New Jersey & I get so excited when I see the 1 humming bird that comes into my garden :p
I wish this was in my yard. I have four feeders spread out but I have one humming bird that thinks my entire house is his.. He chases all the other birds away and it makes me so sad because I wanted exactly what your watching in this video.. Any way love the video..
soygirl21 !bhai manider singh
I kept putting up more feeders trying to keep them hidden from all 12 of my bullies It’s madness right now My yard is on.
There is a time in planet earth's history where these birds wings stutter.
Aerodynamics at it's best
Love to see the birds.
*Wow, this is the best song I've ever heard*
Their amazing. Thanks for sharing.
That is incredible. You can almost see the level of the sugar water dropping. LOL
I think you are putting some special sauce in that water.. LOL I have never seen that many hummers at one time and the cooperation between them is unusual too.. I guess you have the perfect fung shui in that backyard!
im in new orleans louisiana and have about 8 ruby throat hummers fighting over my step dads 6 feeders they are mean and hate each other!!! but they so cool to watch!
Thanks for the video, hummingbirds are gorgeous, I love to watch them, and hear the frogs in the background too! Must get mine going too, if we ever have some warm weather!
Fascinating!
