The Hummingbird Whisperer 

1 Colossians note verse 16. 3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints, 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: **16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:** 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

God Almighty is the Creator...no doubt about it..

Replace Mother Nature with The Almighty and then it’s a perfect sentence 👌

God did

I prefer HER comment. How about having some tolerance for other people’s views???

Feeber Izer They follow and look at me through the windows and demand more. Yes I’m their bitch.

Oh yes considering how pointy, fearless, and fast they are they make it clear that if you don't hurry up they can hurt you! At least that's what they seem to be saying LOL! Somewhere on YT there's a vid entitled attack of the killer hummingbird, it's pretty funny and I think it came out right after pot got legalized in some places! 😆😲😎😏🌮

Lol

lisainukacat You know, so many positive souls as you say exactly that " jewels" I'm going out on a limb( no pun intended) but to the Big Bang theorist's say from an inexplicable explosion all instantaneously from a particle??? It being an explosion and if you have been around one form or another, explosions cause CHAOS not beauty and certainly not ORDER as our solar SYSTEM. OK before I begin to rave heh heh the hummingbirds, came given over bazillion aeons ( made up #) and what we have is this evolution THEORY. Also we humans are moved with love appreciation & awe at such a creature, where and why do those non palpable abstract qualities called feelings originate? Unbeknownst to us our feelings were being molded from the chaotic explosion or BIG Bang, and we're stupid enough relying on faith in believing in a higher intelligence? It takes more faith to accept Big Bang theory tho not a fact. Well I Apologize for the soap box sermon. This planet is full of wonders and order. I hope didn't spoil your moment , yes jewels they are indeed &'they fly up down backwards sideways upsidedown At incredible speed they're pollinaters migrators of over1,000 of miles . Ciao for Now🙌

exactly..

homesick clifford ...

homesick clifford “I hope I didn’t spoil the moment” bruh u must be fun at parties.

Not fire flies? I love fire flies.

Lady Rainicorn And inspiring thnx🌼🌼They make us happy! Think of that! I recently purchased hummingbird feeder with doubts they would come they seem so rare a sight. Well put a feeder up THEY'LL COME. Its pure delight, I never tire of their presence. I created a beautiful feeder by arranging chandelier like hanging crystals ( buy at Walmart craft section, variety colors hanging below feeder arranged on 5" diameter brass ring, I know these flying jewels seem attracted to sparkling things. Then at a dollar store I found a tray with three sections, probably for snacks, a pink translucent color, and attached to rail on patio porch put wild bird seed in two sections & clear water in middle all are placed centered with hummingbird feeder hanging in middle. I have a large sliding door leading to small apartment patio. In morning I get my cup of coffee open blinds and the show Begin's .At first I thought the sparrows or finches would not coexist so closely with hummingbirds but they ignore each other the hummingbird is more territorial with its own kind. It a marvel of God's creation🙌

you're a total babe, nati. good for you. take care and be blessed.

Ja Naturlisch ;)

Nati Whatever I agree, any lifestyle involving researching studying our co-residents on this planet has to be so rewarding. Sometime I reflect that our loving Good put them here for a purpose involving humans each in a unique way. Look at cats dogs ,& many others when treated with affection they respond, and even do crazy antics like they are in a way little toys we care for and delight in. And there are times they demonstrate intelligence that astounds us. You don't involve yourself with animal life in my humble opinion, you are missing out on an enormous part of life🐦🐈🐩🐮🐂🐷🐏🐹 Ciao for Now.

She is, I know this so well, I now have 100's each day here too and raising babies ON MY WINDOW on the feeders.

Ummm...Melanie Barboni...I think she is Italian. Her accent sounds Italian.

Lynne Nicholls, look at bird bath

Kicik5038 you should see some of the X-ray super slow-mo vids of them and if you want your mind blown, google videos of the hummingbird tongue - it's a zippered, forked, hollow tongue just recently discovered since X-ray super slow-mo is relatively new technology

Jane Skerritt You should do the same, its really inexpensive most feeders are at Walmart, but buy the glass container, the plastic is real cheap but for $6 more dollars you got easy to clean feeder. Google facts on hummingbirds and home made sugar water, don't buy red colored sugar mix they sell at Walmart it may not be good for delicate birds, Its really easy and so rewarding .Ciao

I can never get 2 to feed. Together at once all they fight what. Is the reason they are seen. Feeding with each other and yet all i ever get is humming bird gang fight been trying. To have them get along😳keep up great job

PhoenixFlame 127 😂😂😂

David Meyer do you feeders up every year. try bigger feeders and spread them apart from each other. they will eventually share and take turns. the roufous hummingbirds always chases the others away though

PhoenixFlame 127 OK I bite what the heck is ASMR?😱.

David Meyer I get the same I went to Google ( don't we all?) to get some insight. They are not the most social critter now n then I get two feeding 180° apart. Hummingbirds migrate ALONE says one source and that's across Gulf of Mexico! They it appears to me to " bully " each other. Also I can't read those damn migration maps really you got to be preinformed to be Abel to, but my point is the hummingbirds in my area are here year round it appears. I was afraid my feeder impeded their migratory habits but source says they go when temp or instinct tells them, also the little gluttons keep feeding on proper flowers and pollination is unaffected so put up all the feeders you want, What a unique creature. They have brought me a lot of happiness I never tire of seeing them.Ciao🌼🌸🌹🌺🐤

theyre very curious little creatures. so cute

There's a guy on YT who made a very bright red flower design on a baseball cap -type welders mask thing with a tiny feeder inside and his micro cam hidden in the forehead area of it, got some of the most excellent video and a good for the soul experience out of it

Well they feed from flowering vines and certain flowers. We had a community of them by my house once my mother had some hummingbird vines and a feeder up, I got to watch a few generations of them grow up, fly south and come back to our woods in North Carolina sometimes losing some along the way (generally hoping they just paired off) They had no fear of us (me and my mother specifically since we spent time just sitting on the porch where the feeder was) and they would be friendly flying up to us sometimes perching on our shoulder or hats. They'd even let us know when the feeder was getting low by flying up to the sliding door till we came out, hover in our face, circle the feeder then come back to us and land on the clothing line to wait patiently for a refill. Only time I hated it was when the young ones would be chasing each other around and decide we'd make a great obstacle for their game of chase and come buzzing in at top speed so close they'd clip you nose or ears with a wing tip. The loud buzz in your ear was bad enough but the tickle of their wings would make you jump.

@@SilvaDreams I hope I can gain their trust like you did. I'm slowly gaining their trust though. They're no longer scared of me whenever I walk out to the porch they'll just sit there looking at me 🤣

Fly with Mike, look at bird bath

Ana just came here for the memes #featheredfairies SO TRUE!🌿🌳💃💚🌺🍄

They are birds, not a fake made up being.

budmeister no shit Sherlock.

Monokuma is a fake make up being your not real

dani_mua they don’t help there baby’s fly they throw them out of the nest and if they don fly they die

" our water we drink isnt red" - we also aren't smaller then a human fist. Companies make the water red to attract more hummingbirds, which is an outdated practice. I Do hang up some red colored bubbles(not feeders) to get the humming birds attention be cause the tulips and butterfly bush is a bit hidden. When it's peak season I put a feeder out, because that's the time all the flowers are fading.

karin galm Aww 😭

Plum Tucker Try orange 'surveyer's tape' from any hardware store to attract. I've been told it has ultraviolet properties that attract them to a feeder. It's about an inch wide and I would take a strip and tie a bow on the hanger or clothesline. Also the first hummingbirds I see here go to my Virginia BLUEbells so it's not just red that attracts them. I love this catalog although the prices are higher. www.plantdelights.com/blogs/articles/top-hummingbird-flower-plants-garden-hummingbirds-like www.hummingbirdsociety.org/hummingbird-flowers/ Companies produce that red stuff to make MONEY, they don't care what happens to the birds. This expensive stuff contains chemicals that prevent spoiling for those who are too LAZY to take the feeder down and clean. A dangerous situation especially in hot and humid areas. If one sees black mold growing inside it MUST be taken down and cleaned. I use a few drops of bleach and fill with hot water. Let it stand until no more mold remains then rinse, rinse, rinse. One can't be too careful! I put plastic parts in a bowl with a little bleach, sometimes taking the entire bottom apart to be certain it is clean. There are tiny brushes that will fit into ports. I don't use dish soap because I was told this can make the feeder leak. I do a sniff test and because I use mostly glass bottles I put them in the oven on a low temp to dry. When dry turn oven off and let the bottles cool before using again. My neighbor left her feeder up all through Spring and Summer and never cleaned it! People a couple of streets from me put up several feeders on a clothesline and each has a different color. I left them a note but they ignored it. You are so correct about planting for them. Monarda (bee balm) is also a favorite and there are many others. I used to have a webpage with some of them for my area listed. The more people learn from folks like you the better, keep up the good work!

Wow! I think it's even more diverse than Brazil

Will Pack dinosaurs are dead so can’t be thanked. So thank God for such amazing creatures!

@@nsr5961 thanks for letting us all know about your religious beliefs... Now how about you stop shoving them in everyone's faces and go pray or whatever it is that you do.

Ellie Blunden I’m sorry, I don’t believe I was talking to you, let alone shove my beliefs down your throat.

@@nsr5961 you're a special kind of special, huh...

Luboman411 the Creator of hummingbird must be Most Mercifull and Most greatest.. I wonder why people admiring the creation but forgot about the creator who is not only create that lovely bird but also create us and this universe!

Luboman411 very interesting.

Will Pack Let me correct you there before you jump the gun again. No, the creator didn’t create trump. The creator created a perfect couple who became imperfect by will and created us passing along the burden. Trump like all of us was created by imperfect humans starting with our first parents or rebellious first couple. Not God. So take POS back, whatever that means.

Excuse me!! Hello??? The post was on HUMMINGBIRDS! Hummingbirds are pretty politics AIN'T. PLEASE take it to that forum. GOOD GRIEF PEOPLE.

Lass-in Angeles that’s just what I was wanting to know! Thank you💕

Azziz Erazo I am in awe!!!, when I see one just sitting still. Could believe my eyes nor make any noise or movement afraid it would take off like a tiny helicopter!

@@dinahmattos592 Can these bird live in Asia?

@Bobby Brady They are not from India. America is the entire landmass from the north pole to the south.

Bobby Brady 'America' is NOT a country - The United States OF America is a country. North America and South America are CONTINENTS

Bobby Brady By your exaggerated, inaccurate and silly response I can only surmise that you are just some fool trolling the comments. End of conversation.

Not a good idea. Spotless windows make for bird 'hits'

That´s smart! Thanks.

Janetta Schuch I have one that does the same thing.But that same one comes on my front porch with me.They have amazing personalities.

Same - I get two hummingbirds that usually come to my feeder (it's small) and they're always fighting when they come at the same time

Same! Doesn't help that we got one species that's specially territorial and quite bigger than the others (Eupetomena macroura), one individual even started to chase away much bigger birds from our other feeders (Tangara cayana, Tangara sayaca, Turdus leucomelas...), we had to move away the hummer feeder so the other birds could eat in peace.

Me too! I was shocked they were all eating together...

Which god?

Captain Moonlight, look at bird bath

Mary Rose Kent so the first hummingbird had to be able to evolve this ability over night in order to survive the first night?

Paul Newfield - Pasadena, CA. USA Quite honestly, I know little about the evolution of bird species. When I look at birds in taxonomic order, there’s a certain sense to much of it, but there are also weird jumps and realignments that seem a bit random. My brain does absorb weird random facts, but I often don’t remember where I learned them.
