A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity The Bird Lovers Forum Camcordered a hummer eating my flowers today.

This was rather amusing.
I seen a hummer in action today and grabbed the camcorder to record.
It is so shakey an funny, cause I had to move fast to find it at work.

Good for laughs this winter.

I cannot upload it , with my dialup.. Does anyone camcord the video on here?
Or just the camera videos?

Still laughing.

I have some camcorders I took of Hummers last year, but these were done to record the humming sounds their wings make in flight. I ATTACHED the small camcorder TO the feeders to get the video, and it worked!

way cool.

Here is a photograph I took while this video was running, showing the way I had the camcorder set up to capture the video.

awesome
Now who took the photo?

Who turned on the camcorder?
How did you know to turn it on? I am full of s no queations.

I took the photo. I hung the camcorder under the feeder using its wrist strap, turned the camcorder on, walked to my chair and camera 15 feet away, sat down, turned on MY CAMERA, and waited for the Hummer to appear. I talked while I waited (I always do). When the Hummer came, I took pictures of her and the Camcorder together WHILE the camcorder was filming her. After the Hummer left, I walked over turned Off the Camcorder and went in the house to download it and the camera. SIMPLE.

my hummers appear to be fighting, is this fighting or something else

All fight .....all birds .. some worset then others.

birds called predoters or something?

It IS fighting, suzydaze. Hummers are rated as the MOST vicious and aggressive birds in the world, despite their tiny size. They have even been known to attack and kill their own offspring once they leave the nest. Nevertheless, I have seen two hummers form a partnership to watch and guard against a third MORE aggressive Hummer. Before this third Hummer appeared these two partners were fighting each other tooth and nail, so to speak.

that is one great picture!!!

That is a good picture, Thorn.
