Abigail replaced the feeder with a small plastic cap filled with sugar water, and it took the birds 10 or 15 minutes to begin feeding from the cap. Once they did, she (still in her pajamas) placed the cap in her hand and sat still. In a few minutes they were perching on her fingers and feeding from her hands. We thought you might like to see the photos. / ~Sam & Abigail

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info | Sep 21, 2006 11:55 | #2 Incredible! Not only about hand feeding, but also about multiple birds at the same time! I have two feeders in my backyard, and it is interesting to see the 'hummingbird wars' of territoriality. The only time I see more than one bird at the feeder is near dusk, when the birds are 'tanking up' for the long night without food. Otherwise, one male is always chasing away the others (he does let his mate feed from the feeder, but that is only around mating season!) You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!
