I always try to keep some flower and feeds for hummingbirds and during the summer I had a couple of them getting very comfortable with the nectar I did provide for them in my backyard, so much so that they opted out to become my permanent boarders.

Slowly the 2 of them became 6 and so on and now in the depth of winter they're still here and they do depend solely on my formula: there isn't many flowers around with nectar for any of them.

I manage ( I should say, my son did it for me! ) to get some photos of these tiny little things. I do know there are more than a dozen and they do keep a beautiful symphony with their calls, especially when they're coming for a feed and they are all around when I go out to put the formula into their feeder, the same is just a half soft drink bottle painted as a flower ( there isn't anything resembling a Hummingbird Feeder around here, so I've got to improvise), but they do love the formula!!!!!

I'm sending you a couple of pictures of some of them enjoying the feed.
