Hummers not only enjoy nectaring on flowers and sippin' the shugga-water . . .

{They} luv dippin' a beaker in the oranges!!

(that, or, s/he's one mitey confused lil hummer and simply doesn't know any better!) .. heehee

Witnessed this one Ruby-throated .. return to the oranges, again and again ..

Yep, he's definitely addicted!! .. LOL

I love watching my hummers have lots of pics of them. but that is a awesome pic and I'm going to see if they would like the oranges have to try it

Magpye - I agree with Cat! A unique photo of a little hummer enjoying a piece of fruit. Very cute!

Tilly - Glad to see you have the little birdies too! Some day I hope to attract them to my yard! Until then I enjoy seeing them in all the photos posted here! What fun!!!

WOW ! how cute is that ... I've never seen that either, that must one sweet orange.

Cordele, GA(Zone 8a)

That's a first for my ol' eyes too!

Highland Heights, KY(Zone 6a)

How cute! I'm gonna try it, too!

The Woodlands, TX(Zone 8b)

That is just so cute! I'm going to try it too, thanks Magpye! Great photo!

NW Qtr, AR(Zone 6a)

The Red-bellied Woodpeckers and chipmunks like the oranges also! The Red-bellieds will oftentimes keep the Orioles at bay .. until they've had (their) fill.

* Another tidbit about the hummers: they like to sip on grape jelly 'watered down' a good bit, in their hummer feeders.

Thanks, guys ..
