Thanks for the nector recipe.
Had no hummers then all of a sudden i cant keep them fed i can count as many as 10 only they are so busy and fast. I know there are a lot of them. I have wondered if someone stopped there feeding. Anyway they are awsome little fellers.
Thanks PATTY

I’ve actually had hummers get really close to my face, like they’re saying “fill up the nectar bottle!” I had one actually tap on my slide door window, to let me know the bottle was empty, lol. Isn’t that the most adorable thing? My dilemma is I have the powdered type nectar which I put in a container and didn’t keep the mixing instructions. So now I don’t know how many parts of powder nectar to mix with water. Can anyone who knows, tell me? I’d really appreciate it! Thank you.

Hi June! We have 5 feeders around our house! We had to add 3 this year b/c they are all OVER us. Last week during a light rainstorm, we had 7 of them up under the front porch, feeding at the same time. I don’t know how many we actually have…I think about 12!
I had one just the other day fly about a foot from my face and hovered there fussing at me. I was too close to the feeder. When I moved back, it went and landed to feed. SO funny! Each time I took a step closer, it would fly down and fuss at me in my face! The kids were loving it!

Love it! I watched a hummingbird actually resting on one of my rhodies yesterday–sat there nearly 2 minutes! But I’ve never had any luck making my own nectar! So I resort to the powdered nectar from the store. We have Anna’s Hummingbirds here…
