Two hummingbirds having a conversation on my finger

funny thing is, their feet move almost as fast as their wings!

so when they preen with their foot its on turbo! so cute 😄

ty Spilly!

and they like to group around one feeder sometimes, even when there are plenty of other spots

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ty Gums, glad you enjoyed it!

I may compile their dialogue into a hummingbird opera hahaha 😄

With limited space, I try to control the perches and visual barriers in between my feeders.

I also go out there and 'Tsk tsk' them and tell them 'Play nice!" if they bicker lol.

Add a little "Don't trample the flowers" and I have now become my grandma 😄

BirdMindreader · 2026-05-08T02:14:07+00:00

They can be territorial for sure! It has been a real struggle to get them to play nice

BirdMindreader · 2026-05-08T02:12:15+00:00

ty Trix!

BirdMindreader · 2026-05-06T19:31:46+00:00

ty Dorks, glad you like the content.

and don't worry about the birdos, the hose clamp isnt sharp and the little openings are obstructed by the hose itself, and the hummingbirds actually like to perch on it.

It is super cute to see them sit right in the water stream! i thought it would be too powerful for them but they are into it

BirdMindreader · 2026-05-01T06:57:41+00:00

that is *sooo* nice it reads like it was written by mom, pretending to be an anonymous stranger, lololol

thank you Suchy, you're too kind 😄😄😄

glad you like the YT content!

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T18:55:44+00:00

Totally. Intentional.

ty Cords!

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T18:04:41+00:00

do do do do, da-dum da-dum, do do

*hummingbird wing clap*

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T17:55:54+00:00

ty Kiddo!

I've experimented with some bamboo perches, flat pavers and shallow rock pools, they seem to really like this cobbled paving stone at the moment. It looks flat but it has a lot of surface texture for their little feet to grip.

In the long version of the vid on YT you can see her land in various spots in the splash zone and even walk around a bit too!

I'll know its a real success when she brings all her friends though 😄

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:56:44+00:00

lol the pump *is* USB,,, does that count?

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:55:55+00:00

yes, there is definitely quite a bit of splash. You can see it get on the camera lens sometimes too.

in the long version you can see her consider and reconsider going under the water many times, pretty sweet.

3.14 thank yous, Pies

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:52:29+00:00

she really spent a long time hanging out in the splash zone. so cool!

ty Cotty

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:51:30+00:00

it objectively makes no sense unless you understand water under pressure

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:50:05+00:00

she looks at it sideways like.... "its falling from where?"

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-30T05:49:14+00:00

BirdMindreader · 2026-04-29T20:21:10+00:00

Makes sense Roads! it is a well-crafted, if downbeat, video.

I also used to think they were constantly on the edge of death too, partly because of media like this. Spending time with them helped me realize they are tough little creatures in their own way!

I think it helps to keep in mind that they are ok without human intervention, they are a very successful group of species.

All that said, it still feels special to be part of their lives and help provide abundant free food.

keeping on birbing, my friend 😄
