The Hummingbirds have arrived!




















The Hummingbirds have finally arrived! I just love these little birds. I will eventually get many many more come to my feeder.

Have you ever had a hummingbird fly into your house? Well last summer a hummingbird flew in my sun room. I was dumb founded as to how I was going to get the little bird out without hurting it. It was flying around the room but ended up attaching itself to a beam on the ceiling. My first attempt was to open one of the doors and shooooo it out with a broom. That did not work so well then I came up with the idea of using a feather duster. It clamped onto the feather duster, I put it outside the door and off it flew, no harm! So folks! If you ever have a hummingbird fly into your house, use a feather duster. One of those cheap long multicolored ones you find at the dollar store that doesnt have any feathers in it but still considered a feather duster. I am sure you know which ones I am talking about.

Yesterday I was watching them and I noticed the male likes to sit on the deck rail and wait for the female to get some food and when she comes in he will chase her off.

  2. Yes you will enjoy having one. You can make your own. I have a video on my blog on how you can make one from recycled containers.
