    Apu the Hummingbird

    We finally found K's digital camera and snapped a pic! Actually we snapped a ton of pics but this is the only one that wasn't totally blurry, LOL... it's hard to shoot a hummingbird. But here he is! Isn't he pretty?

    I just realized you can see the ice in the feeder! I can't believe there's a hummingbird out in this kind of cold!

    AWW! gorgeous! One flew in to my garage in the summer time and then it couldn't get out, I felt so bad but I didn't want to touch it. It got out after an hr, I could hear the poor thing going nuts, I think it was blind or something cause the door was open. Anyway if that would happen again what should one do?

    If you have a net, you can catch it and let him out. He wasn't blind, he's just a hummingbird - they don't get the idea of flying lower to get out. They'll try to get out by flying higher, rather than ducking down under the door. They do that in my grandparents' garage all the time, and my grandfather has to catch them in a net and let them go.

    I wish I could take credit for the pic, but unfortunately for me, K took that one. Mine were all blurry! I hate digital cameras, with that stupid delay after you push the button. We both took several pics and nearly all were blurry. Hummingbirds are not good photographic models.

    Does Apu sit on the feeder, that is also a good time to get them.

    I love him. I should get one of those feeders. They have hummingbirds here, right?

    Yes, Katrine, but not this time of year. The ones in the southern part of the USA spend the winter in southern Mexico, and usually come back around early April. Put your feeder up on April 1 and you should get some hummingbirds. If you get more than one feeder, make sure they're out of sight of each other, as the males get extremely territorial and won't share space with other males (they will happily share with females). The nectar is 1 part sugar to 4 parts water, heated on the stove until it all dissolves together and then cooled to room temperature.

    G-Real, he sits on the feeder occasionally but not often and not for very long. They don't rest much!
