My parents always put up hummingbird feeders and it seems like there are a dozen more of these tiny birds that come around each year. They are really fun to watch, and it's so weird how these pretty little glistening birds are just down right pesky and feisty to each other! Then I googled hummingbird (how I get all my answers...) and here is a little fun fact for you from Wikipedia : "They consume more than their own weight in nectar each day, and to do so they must visit hundreds of flowers daily. Hummingbirds are continuously hours away from starving to death, and are able to store just enough energy to survive overnight." Fun fact for the day and now I know why they are so feisty over the feeders....
I think there are about 40 of these birds flying around their yard right now over 4 feeders. The more the merrier!
Here are some pictures I took of them and you can also click on any image to see a larger view.
I told you they are mean! He's jabbing the other bird in the face!
