We’re not traveling to Colorado this year to witness the hummingbirds’ spring migration, so we’re eagerly awaiting their arrival in north Georgia.
They typically show up during the first week of April.
A hummingbird’s brain comprises approximately 4.2% of its body weight, which is the highest percentage among all wild birds.
Despite their name, they don’t actually “hum.” Instead, it’s more like a “chatter,” and certain species produce sounds by using their feathers.
They prefer natural nectar to feeders, but if you provide feeders, please remember not to add red dye and clean them frequently.
Mom and Auntie HiC meticulously record the arrival and departure dates of the hummingbirds. They usually arrive during the first week of April. I’ll keep you updated whenever we have our first sighting here. Mom always gets excited and squeals with delight❣️
Enjoy this compilation video, which showcases several of our most beloved hummers from the past.

I first encountered humming birds when on holiday in Grenada. I was walking in the mountains and had sheltered under a banana during rain and was surprised by what I thought at first was a huge bumblebee - a flash of irredescence and a loud humming/buzzing. Aren't they magnificent wee creatures!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting facts. Our hummers won't be here in Mass. until May. Have a nice break. XO
ReplyDeleteThat will sure be exciting. We never see any hummers here and that's pretty strange.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to see hummingbirds. We sometimes see a few here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
I love hummingbirds and rapping squirrels
ReplyDeleteRocky, thank you for all those interesting facts you gave us today. Have a nice break and look forward to seeing you soon after.
ReplyDeleteYep, we do get hummers in Chattanooga and in our yard. But we didn't know there was more than one kind! Or how fast their wings beat. Or that they ate bugs. They'd better get here fast cause we've got lots of red wasps they are welcome to!
