Once you have a Hummingbird using your feeder on a regular basis, just  apply my quick, easy technique and just as I did, the very first time you sit in your backyard to attempt hand-feeding  in only a matter of minutes you will be enjoying all the thrills and excitement of hand-feeding your own backyard Hummingbirds!

In this video you will learn :

  In the first part of the video you will learn how to increase your chances of attracting Hummingbirds into your yard. I will show you a simple way of attracting Hummingbirds just by adding some potted flowers and hanging baskets, along with your feeder. Or if you have more time and space, I'll show you what to plant in a small garden to help attract Hummingbirds. I'll show you a few plants you can use to have a continuous supply of blossoms to attract Hummingbirds into your yard. Plants that will provide blooms from early Spring when the birds first arrive, right up until the time the Hummingbirds leave in the Fall.

Once you have a Hummingbird using your feeder on a regular basis, I will show you my easy technique that will quickly make the Hummingbirds quit using the feeder and start feeding on food from your bare hand. As simple technique consisting of a few simple steps that can be completed in just a few hours time.

  Late one evening towards the end of May, I noticed a female Hummingbird at my feeder. I had seen her in the yard occasionally the last several days. Now she was feeding heavily at the feeder. About every fifteen minutes or so she could be seen there feeding. So I decided that early the next morning I would see if I could get her to feed out of my bare hand.

  I had already devised a technique to quickly teach my seed-eating birds to  hand-feed. So I thought that by making some changes, I could come up with a different technique that could be used on Hummingbirds. I was anxious to give it a try, so first thing the next morning when the Hummingbird showed up at the feeder, I put my new technique into action. In just about two and a half hours time that Hummingbird was feeding out of my bare hand!

I applied my technique and just sat back while it quickly trained my Hummingbird. Then I sat next to the feeder for the first time and waited for the Hummingbird to return. Upon her return to the feeder it was only a few moments before she was feeding out of my hand!

  My wife Gloria came into the backyard while I was feeding the Hummingbird, So I quickly had her take my place next to the feeder. When the Hummingbird returned to the feeder a few minutes later, it was only a few seconds before that bird was feeding out of her hand also!... see video below
