Do you actually get hummingbirds?

Hummingbirds are the manlets of the bird world. They are so zippy and move around frantically/ erratically thanks to their high wing flap rate - have you seen how quickly manlets turn over their feet when they walk?

[blazenbb]

Nice brah, some of my favorite birds. I get a lot of them seasonally, Cut an orange in half and put it outside or some jelly..they are attracted to the brightness of your hummingbird feeder

oh yeah, all day , when i had the house i would stand out there and they would hover in front of you like a helicopter

once they get used to you they are cool , the oriole seems alot more skitish , tried getting a closer pic , he sees me he bolts, the humms will stick around much longer

I like hummingbirds. They are cute AF. Please post some of your pics if you have them, bro.

Real men love bird feeders

[MiscInformed]

That's cool.

I've never seen one in real life.

I'm probably biased being from MD originally, but to me, orioles are one of the most aesthetic birds.

not here, at my house we were outside more so they got used to us

here at apt , the only thing outside is italians and misquitoes so, i'm not outside much unless car work

they'll let me get a little closer in window but not much

i saw the oriole looking at me then checking out the phone in my hand

Yeah those grackles are ass holes, I try to scare them away when I can:

Hummingbirds are awesome. Once they get used to you they don't give AF. They'll fight like fighter jets going in between people on the deck. I've held the hummingbird feeder out with my hand and they'll land on it and feed while im holding it. They'll sit feet away on my wire railing system and watch me eat. Oriole that i had around spent hours pecking my sideview mirror on my truck a few years back and schitting all over my truck. Did it fkn non stop and pissed me off. Put bags over the mirrors, and then they would peck at my truck windows. Now i got a Blue Herron problem in my pond. Fuker eating my baby fish. So i gotta send warning shots with my 22 past its head.

Wife laughs about me putting out a hummingbird feeder but I enjoy watching them. Tied a record low overnight though so not much moving out there but robins and morning doves

[wasp9166]

orioles are pretty rare to see, they usually stay at top of trees
