Hi Silver there are not Hummingbirds here to Austria,but this recipe is interesting.

Reminds me of something my mom told me. She has a friend that has about 6 or 7 semi wooded acres. She hangs numerous hummingbird feeders on the property. While she's out working in the pasture the hummingbirds will come find her and buzz her if the feeders are empty. They won't leave her alone until they are filled again! Smart birds if you ask me.

Hummingbirds also love the Fuschia  They sure do...and I see them at many different flowers too. Where I live we have something called red honeysuckle vines and they really love those Most of the ones at my house I think have gotten lazy, they come to the feeder before trying to find the flowers But I don't blame them for that...it's easy food  Thanks for your comment and come again anytime Hugs Silver

thank you! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!! i have always wanted this recipe! i am going to try it out. thanks again! i just love it when they buzz your head.... when they do a fly by...lol Your most welcome I've been making this for years..and I have a swarm of them always around my feeder Have you ever heard one chirp? They make this tiny little chirp..it sounds cute Mine is hanging on my porch and they fly at our heads too I keep my eyes shut for fear their beak will go into my eyes!  The males can be aggressive. They will actually "chest butt" each other trying to keep each other away from the feeder! If you try this...it will probably take several days before they find your feeder but hang on...if any is in your area..they will find it Hugs Silver

I think I will go out and buy a feeder to hang outside the window at work. I love watching and hearing birds. Thanks for the recipe. I've made this for years and the birds love it. I always have a bunch of them at my feeder. I love watching them too...they move so fast and once they find your feeder, they will keep coming back about every 15 to 20 minutes. It may take them several days to find it when you first put it up...but if any are around...they will find it Good Luck...( let me know if any show up at work) Hugs Silver

We have lots of humming birds around here and they are so neat to watch......we always make our own nectar and they love it.... I've been feeding them for years and we always have a bunch that come here When I have to take the feeder down to wash it and refill it...they act like they get mad! They will sit on a tree branch or power line waiting for you to bring it back out! Hugs Silver

They are very smart birds...very smart indeed! They get mad when I have to wash and refill mine! They sit and wait for me to bring it back out! If we are standing too close to the feeder, they swarm out our heads to run us off! I've always had a fear they were going to hit me in the eye with their pointed beaks! I like watching the males. They are aggressive to each other...will chest butt each other to run the other one off! Hugs Silver

Mo has feeders in her back yard too and I love to watch the birds, I love the cardinals they are so beautiful, sheesh they're better than Zoo York pigeons Well, I see you have changed your picture This is a good one of you Our state bird is the Cardinal. The males are so pretty and red...especially pretty in the sun. In fact, I just saw one sitting on the fence beside me! I've never seen the Zoo York pigeons except on TV We don't have many pigeons here where I live around homes. We do have some downtown and they hang around buildings though. But we have something called the "Mourning Dove" and they are gray. They have a unique sound...one I like but it does sound a little sad. You and Mo enjoy those birds I love watching them too Hugs Silver

I think a hummingbird tatt would be great!!!! I don't know what the native american print would be though  Hummers look different in different areas. The kind we have here is called the ruby throated hummers. You can see some good pictures of these on the web. The males have the ruby throat and beautiful green feathers. The females have white throats and they don't have brilliant colors the males have. I think a butterfly and hummer would be great as tatts. To tell you the truth...I got my tatt 17 years ago and at that time I picked out a rose. But since then, I have always wished I had gotten a butterfly. When you get these, if you can take a picture and post them..I would love to see them Hugs Silver

Hey Silver~~The (EX)wife & I tended Humming Birds for years in Hew Hampshire~~Have forwarded this to my Daughter-in-Law in Chattanooga~~Thanks Be Safe/Warm Hugs~~Bill I've been feeding these little birds for years and I just love to watch them This is the recipe I use...it's easy and simple to make. So much of what you buy has the red dye in it...and it's not good for the birds. I hope your daughter-in-law can use it and find it helpful.... Hugs Silver

ö Our family has been using 2/3 cup sugar. Pour sugar into the feeder and fill the rest of the feeder with water. I think its alittle more than a cup of water! And the birds just won't leave it alone for one minute!

And the birds just won't leave it alone for one minute! I'm not sure what size feeder your talking about But, if it's just a one cup feeder...you just use 1/4 cup of sugar. Giving them too much sugar may not be a good idea. Hugs Silver

I don't think we get the Humming bird down here is Miami. I do like to see them when I go north. Going to Clayton at the end of the mouth,I think I'll take the recipe and hang a feeder in my friends back yard so we can watch them why we sit on the back porch...M.

Going to Clayton at the end of the mouth,I think I'll take the recipe and hang a feeder in my friends back yard so we can watch them why we sit on the back porch...M. I was wondering about Florida...if you get hummers there. I wonder why you don't Maybe it's too hot and humid I'm not sure really...That's rather odd that you don't though Our birds fly south for the winter...but I don't know just how far south I guess that will give me something to check into If they ever find the feeder..it's on then!! They will keep on coming back..looking for that food! When you go to Clayton...give this a try...see what happens Let me know if you do and you see some hummers You should be seeing the "ruby throated hummers". If you see any...the males have the red throats...the females have white throats... Good Luck.... Hugs Silver

Hummingbird has an amazing speed !!! By the way, my sister loves to observe and study many different kind of birds. Know what ??? She already saw more than 250 different birds. That is her hobby ! Back when my son was still in school, we bought a book on birds and would try to identify them. It was fun looking them up and we saw several that normally aren't in our area. I've always wanted to see a hummingbird nest but they are VERY high up in a tree...and very small. Most female hummers just lay 2 eggs and the eggs are the size of white dried Navy beans. I use to know how fast a hummers heart beat..but I have forgotten. I know their wings go so fast...they sound like bees! Your sister has a good hobby....that would be fun to do! Hugs Silver
