Amazing! Maybe if you go out often it will stay used to you. What a thrill it would be for your granddaughters if it would come up close to them too.

We keep a hummer feeder on our porch. We love to sit out there and see them buzz back and forth. One day I was sipping a cosmopolitan which is made with cranberry juice and is red. The darn hummer came and sat on the rim of the glass! Since the drink is alcoholic, I didn't want him to sip it so I waved my hand and he flew away. Another time I had a bright pink shirt on and he flew right in front of me and hovered.

Aren't they like little flying jewels?

Buford-that is so funny-wonder if its the same bird?He just wants to sit and sip with us.LOL

Your stories make me smile, and make me want to go out to my balcony to sit and watch my hummers.

Everyone should have at least one feeder close to a place you can sit and watch. They get used your being there and will ignore you if you sit still. I have patio chairs within three feet from feeders on my balcony railing. And I get to hear their chips and wing humms.

Think I'll go outside now.

What delightful stories! -I can imagine the thrill you both felt to be so near one of the jewels. Thank you for sharing.

Carol, I think your hubby sent you the Humer. I feel blessed that the hummers come close enough that I actually got pooped on by one! LOL!

I sit outside in the evening and when they have their duels Ive had them come really close to me sometimes even right behind my head. Other times Ive had them come right up in my face about a foot away staring right at me like mano mano, not sure if its curiosity or if they are telling me its their space and theyd like me to move. I never move just feel the breeze from their wing humms.
