Hummingbird feeding on nectar.

Well done tracy

those humming birds are amazing

Kev- Did you check out some of the other clips on Youtube? I was just watching the one with the guy in the cap, by the feeder and lots of hummingbirds! LOL

Tracy theres not many i havent seen but we are not supposed to put them on this site are we.lol ☺☺☺☺☺

Is it okay to put our own videos on?

wait and see the response you get i think youll find more in favour than against the idea.......but id better shut up about it.

I think the hummingbird video is super, but if there are some rules we should know about, related to anything on this site, it would be useful to know, please.

Hi folks, we don't mind people posting videos in their blogs but we would like the videos to be yours and we would like them to be about gardening/your garden - after all that's why everyone joined and what they'd find interesting :o)

Hi Peter
But what about all the things associated with the garden?

Hi Peter- This is my video and the hummingbirds are a very enjoyable part of my gardening experience. I'm sorry if anyone found it boring.

That was great Tasteyg. I've never seen such a thing.

Glad you liked it Blodyn :) I have to see if I can't get a better video.

Not Boring at all Tasteyg, I thought it was Brilliant, Our birds are quite boring compared to Hummingbird's..
Sorry British Birdlovers, eek

Hi Tastey. Sorry, I wasn't implying it wasn't yours or that it was boring - it's a great video and I recognised the humming bird feeder from your photos.

On the subject of foreign birds, when I was on holiday in South Africa, we were told if you see something that looks like a bird you know, put the word 'Cape' in front of it and you're probably right. So something like a starling would be a Cape Starling.
The following morning we got up to hear a chain saw being used. Ah - the Cape Woodpecker!

Great Video Tastey i luv`d it2 :) how lucky u are 2 see such sites:)

Glad you all liked the clip :) I didn't mean to cause such a stir! Jezz Louise!

I've had a chance to look again at your hummingbird video. It's wonderful.

I've just been reading about hummingbirds. You probably know all these facts, but they might be interesting to GOY members in the UK.

Apparently hummingbirds must eat from dawn till dusk because they expend so much energy in the their style of flying. So yours will be more than grateful for the food you supply!

They can fly in ways that other birds cannot. They can fly forwards, backwards, staying still in space, sideways and upside down !

They can be very long-lived 20/30 years, so hopefully you'll enjoy that hummingbird in your garden for a very long time!

Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thanks for this video visit to your garden. I enjoyed it.

Tracy theres your answer......its so good to see the positive side for a change.......your the new video star.....well done.

fantastic video Tracy

Love the video Tasteyg, it is interesting to see birds that frequent the gardens in other countries.

Thanks for all of your compliments and to Buffriddler for telling me how to post the video. Thanks Terratoonie for the hummingbird info. I may have to invest in a small camcorder... :) I was viewing vid clips on YouTube and there was some amazing footage on there. There's one with a guy hand feeding (directly from his palm) a hummingbird through is bedroom window. What a thrill!

Can't wait for more video clips from you, Tracy.

I belong to a bird forum and they would be very jealous of the wonderful hummingbird moments you've given us here on GOY !

Thanks so much Terratoonie, that is very sweet of you to say :) My new camera doesn't take video... I'll have to dust of the old one and give 'er a whirl.

What a super Video.. You visit Monterey, Do you ever get pictures of Monterey Pines. I have two in my garden, but would like to see some growing wild. They grow so fast. its getting late now so will view all those Videos again tomorrow. Best wishes
