We have one hanging off the back deck. Those little buggers make me tired chasing each other off, stopping for a quick sip then off again... Dan

Has anyone ever seen a hummingbird poop? I think this might be the reason they’re more popular than other birds.

Hummingbirds aren't real. They're government drones designed to spy on you.

We still have our normal 3 to 5 that show up every year and nest in one of our Maple trees. We gave our son who lives in Allen a couple of feeders. He has yet to see a single Hummer at either of them.

I had one hummer this year. Just one, and it only lasted a few seconds.

Has anyone ever seen a hummingbird poop? I think this might be the reason they’re more popular than other birds. All the time. Usually as they are sitting on the feeder drinking. We have hummingbirds year round. We have 3 different types. One winters in our area. One summers in our area. And one seems to migrate thru the area a couple times a year. During the winter and summer we have 3 or 4 feeders out to satisfy the 8-12 hummingbirds. During the overlap periods we have to have 6 out. Usually refilling 2 of the feeders ever other day.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!

They're pretty thick down here. One thing I wouldn't have expected but makes sense is how much they love just plain water. There's usually a few in the afternoons getting into arguments with my lesser goldfinches about who has prime spots in the shallow end of the water fountain.

Sugar water??? I used Wellers and 7-up. But then my neighbor would come over and drink it. That made the birds quit coming!
I would agree with you , but then we would both be WRONG !!!!!

I never gave much thought to keeping count of seeing hummingbirds or trying to give them sugar water. Is this something I need to get into? I don't want to miss out on anything Someone would probably steal your feeders

That is way cool. Where abouts do you get to see all 3 types?
