Have you ever had a humming bird hover right in front of your....

....eyes.

And your too scared to take a breath or move in case you scare them away??

This one was barely 2 inches from my eyes...seriously checking me out. It was the freaking most cutest thing I have ever experienced in my life!!

 

Wut colour was the hummingbird?

 

One almost flew into me as I was putting more food into the hummingbird feeder. Those wings sounded like helicopter rotary blades

 

I've had a hummingbird in my hand....

 

I can't remember. There are a few that come around everyday to the feeder. Some are shimmering orange, brown and green. Beautiful, cheeky lil things.

 

I know right! I love em!

 

Wow! I can't even imagine! They are so small and delicate. I am sure their bodies are warm from all the energy they generate.

 

Yes. I was taking a break on a customers back patio about a foot from a feeder. One of the little guys flew down to feed and I guess noticed a change in the area--me-- and did the same thing you describe. After hovering for bit and moving back and forth in front of me--he/she fed and left. Pretty cool.

 

When I lived in CA, about 40 miles from Yosemite, my place was right on the migration route for two different species, plus I had some that stayed through most of the year. I had three feeders out... All summer I would go through 3 gallons of nectar a day... There would be Hummingbirds about three rows deep at the feeders. When I filled the feeders they would just hover there waiting...

It was estimated that would have been about 300 birds at its height of feeding frenzy...

I think they are curious lil things

 

Wow amazing!!

 

I never knew how still I could be!!

 

Haha same! I am just finding that out!

 

We had these bushes right outside my bedroom window when I was growing up called fuchsias. Hummingbirds are obsessed with them and they were constantly buzzing out there... But not near my face.

 

Unfortunately, we don't have any Hummingbirds in the UK.
It would be nice to see them, but interfering with nature could have disastrous consequences for our indigenous species.

 

That's why traveling is so cool! You get to see different people and different species of birds!

 

Do I sense a double meaning somewhere here.
