We enjoy watching the hummingbirds that frequent our feeders.

It’s fun seeing them zip about.

They even share, once in awhile.

  1. Hummingbirds are so beatiful.

    I’ve wondered if those feeders work that stick to the windows- now I know they do! I know they are fairly graceful but do they ever fly into the window?

  2. Wow, your hummingbirds share sometimes?? At Mom and Dad’s place you’d think there was a hummingbird civil war going on due to the combat that goes on around their feeders. I love watching them. They are truly amazing creatures!

  3. Lindsey- Yes they do stick pretty well. I think there’s been once or twice that they have fallen, usually when the wind is up and it gets out of balance more. No, the hummingbirds haven’t flown into the window either. It is fun to have them up so close. We have another style on the kitchen window too. We can sit at the table and watch them. The window ones are good for out here too because they don’t swing around in the wind and lose all the syrup.

    Liesel- they do, on occasion, share. Usually not so much on that feeder. We have another one where they can sit on opposite sides and not see each other and that seems to work better. Often there is one that is territorial and fights all the others off.
