I live in Arizona where we have an abundance of hummingbirds. I keep 3 feeders out all the time and this spring we have had the opportunity to see hummingbird pairs doing their mating dance. The first time we were wondering what on earth the little bird was doing when he was doing aerial acrobatics only about 3 feet off the ground. Then we saw the gal he was trying to impress sitting down low in the chain link fence. The next time the impressive display was high in the air as the intended was sitting up in the tree. I, too, have had the birds approach right up close while reaching up to hang the feeder. Hummingbirds are incredible! Hummingbirds amaze me.

I have a bit of an update! These little birds are not shy at all! They ran out of nectar the other day so I brought in the feeder to wash and fill. A few birds came by to look for the feeder, temporarily missing - and when I went out to hang it again one of the males came and drank out of it while I was hanging it! I'm sure if I sat outside with it in my lap they would come drink there too! Thanks for coming by ladies! I have a bit of an update! These little birds are not shy at all!

I live in the south so have had them around for a couple of months. I have a feeder outside my office window and snap pictures of them frequently. Occasionally I get a few good ones and share them on my blog as well. I enjoyed reading your experiences with the little birds. I enjoy the little hummers myself.

They are so facinating to watch! When I am outside they buzz up really close to my head, sometimes I don't know whether it is a humming bird or a bee!
