Hummingbirds, how can you not love them? They are what made me start being a bird watcher 25 years ago at retirement. Although there a lot of work, water is fresh. But I still my favorite of all the birds I care for.
Do the babies that survive until next year return to my house next year? We bought our house in December of 23 and I have 3 feeders that I was filling up at least every other day a few weeks ago. It's slowed down just a little more but still probably have over a dozen (I've counted a dozen at one time do have no clue how many there really are) but the lady we bought the house from said they always kept feeders out and they had a lot a well. Are these multi generational hummers?
@@dennyo7798 They do send a micro SD card with the feeder. You can subscribe for the ID program and cloud storage if you wish. I do not. I download or delete the videos daily
is the store bought red hummingbird food okay to use or should I make my own? I have hummingbirds at my flowering shrubs but I never see them at the feeder with the store bought stuff.
I always worry about red food. If the red color is from a chemical dye, I would not use it. They do not know what color the nectar is, as long the feeder has colorful flowers, clear or homemade nectar should be fine.

They are awesome creatures!

Glad it was helpful!

They do return generally return to the same area. Males will be driven out by the dominant male but will look to settle into a territory close by.

What are you using to record the hummers?
I'm sorry, I thought I had put in a link for the Berdz Smart Hummingbird. Here it is:tinyurl.com/3e2n9ccf
@@MarksBackyardBirds Are there any better high speed cameras available with motion sensor?
@@MarksBackyardBirds Do I have to subscribe to a service with this camera to view it's results?
Are there any with an sd card maybe?

@@jimb408 The store nectar should be fine as long as it is kept fresh. It is hard to compete with nature’s offerings.

thanks
@@jimb408 you are welcome. I believe in keeping it as simple as possible.
Do you like your new hummingbird feeder?
This kind of feeder looks like sold out
I am sorry, we got them in and failed to get them updated in the inventory. They are there now.
