Man Befriends Wild Hummingbird
The man, in this video, João Silvestrini, is saying that this little guy was introduced to him by the mamma bird who left him here. Now this hummingbird flies around and calls to him until João “attends” to him (as he puts it).
“Hi! Come here! Come here!
Come over here, let’s film it, come here. Let’s talk here close to the camera. See?? Look!
Wait, here now, come drink a little nectar. Yes, this. Heeere, yes. Let’s go to the camera again, yes? Yeesss, look. It’s filming! Yes, you can sit on my finger, that’s ok. Yes.
This little rascal calls me ALL DAY LONG. He comes and fly around and around and around me, calling. It’s been about half a hour I’m letting he call me*. This is the baby one. His mommy introduced him to me and then left him here. And now he’s used to do call me all day long. Isn’t it? Oh come back here! Drink a little more, come here! Yesss, this, a little more. Let’s do it while filming, see? Here. Close to the camera. Don’t you want some more nectar? no? I’ll keep it here, then. Done. It’s here.
I keep it here and then he flies around me, asking for nectar, and then I come over here to serve him.”
*because he wanted to film it right”
Hand feeding Hummingbirds – Taming The Alaskan Hummingbird
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.
