A hand fed Hummingbird video that amaze you. These hummingbirds were filmed at our lodge in Alaska.
Our lodge in Alaska has TONS of these little birds in the summer. Did you know their hearbeat can be as high as 1200 beats ber minute! Mother nature is amazing!
These adorable hummingbirds eat right out of our hands here at the lodge. While setting up the cameras for some more handfeeding, these two little hummingbirds gave us “the shot”. Though I love the hummingbirds in Alaska, The majority only arrive after migrating from Mexico. Sometimes I wish we lived somewhere where we could watch baby hummingbirds in their nests. Some of those videos are amazing!
NOTE: We don’t use red dye anymore. We use 4:1 Water to sugar only.

Take Down the Bird Feeder
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with bird seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue.
Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table…. everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.
Other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on the bird feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the night and day and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.
Soon the back yard was like it used to be….quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let’s see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care. and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the classroom doesn’t speak English.
Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press one to hear my bank talk to me in English and people waving flags other than “Old Glory” are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe it’s time for the Government to take down the bird feeder!
