WOW- Hanging Hummingbirds!

This is really interesting behavior! The person did not hyperlink the photos so you will have to Copy and Paste to view the pics. If you need instructions on how to do that let me know. :-)

I've never seen anything like this before and they say its happened a number of times.

I wonder if his nector had fermented and the hummers were drunk.

Haha, I have no idea but I would think they would all be hanging if that were the case.

Pretty interesting though!

HMMM...I wonder if there is a market for upside down hummer feeders?

Funniest thing I've seen today! lol Just when you think you have them figured out..... maybe it was bored?????

Good one Frank!

Those are some awesome pictures. Wish my camera was that good or is it the guy behind the camera.....I've sure never seen hangers before.

Experts say that hummers won't drink fermented nectar. Actually, it doesn't ferment so much as grow mold, which would be very harmful if they did drink it.

Since this is migration time, the little guy was probably exhausted, especially if it had encountered a storm or heavy wind. The other possibility is that it was weakened for some reason, or ill.
