Hand Feeding Hummingbirds and Videos Of Hummingbirds

Both oil paintings above of  hummingbirds and Texas wildflowers were painted when I lived in Texas several years ago and are no longer available for purchase.   Living in Hawaii, I miss the little hummingbirds as there are none to be found here.   They are found in South America and North America as they migrate.   I used to have hummingbird feeders in Texas and enjoyed watching these little feisty birds .   I never tried to hand feed them as in one of the videos below.    Check it out :


None of these 3 videos are of my own making, as you will notice if you view them.
Below is an interesting video showing 2 baby Allen's hummingbirds from birth to leaving the nest .


Below is a video of an Anna's hummingbird building a nest.   It might get boring for some people, but I found it fascinating to watch.


Hope you enjoyed these interesting videos.   A wonderful website for bird lovers is allaboutbirds.org
Be sure to check out the links there.   

I will be posting more about Hawaiian birds in the future, as well as other subjects.   The fascination of birds for me began when I was a child, and has intensified as I age.   

Feel free to comment as to what subjects you would be interested in my posting as time goes by.
