In the first part of the video you will learn how to
increase your chances of attracting Hummingbirds into your yard. I will show
you a simple way of attracting Hummingbirds just by adding some potted
flowers and hanging baskets, along with your feeder. Or if you have more
time and space, I'll show you what to plant in a small garden to help
attract Hummingbirds. I'll show you a few plants you can use to have a
continuous supply of blossoms to attract Hummingbirds into your yard. Plants
that will provide blooms from early Spring when the birds first arrive,
right up until the time the Hummingbirds leave in the Fall.
Once you have a Hummingbird using your feeder on a regular basis, I will
show you my easy technique that will quickly make the Hummingbirds quit
using the feeder and start feeding on food from your bare hand. As simple
technique consisting of a few simple steps that can be completed in just a
few hours time.
Late one evening towards the end of May, I noticed a female
Hummingbird at my feeder. I had seen her in the yard occasionally the last
several days. Now she was feeding heavily at the feeder. About every fifteen
minutes or so she could be seen there feeding. So I decided that early the
next morning I would see if I could get her to feed out of my bare hand.
I had already devised a technique to quickly teach my seed-eating
birds to hand-feed. So I thought that by making some changes, I could
come up with a different technique that could be used on Hummingbirds. I was
anxious to give it a try, so first thing the next morning when the
Hummingbird showed up at the feeder, I put my new technique into action.
In just about two and a half hours time that Hummingbird was feeding out of
my bare hand!
I applied my technique and just sat back while it quickly trained my
Hummingbird. Then I sat next to the feeder for the first time and waited for
the Hummingbird to return. Upon her return to the feeder it was
only a few moments before she was feeding out of my hand!
My wife Gloria came into the backyard while I was feeding the
Hummingbird, So I quickly had her take my place next to the feeder. When the
Hummingbird returned to the feeder a few minutes later,
it was only a few seconds before that bird was
feeding out of her hand also!
