HAND FEEDING HUMMINGBIRDS (Not Clickbait)

Hand feeding hummingbirds is the special attraction at the Amagusa Reserve north of Quito, Ecuador. The beautiful hummingbirds here in their hummingbird garden are used to people and will feed from flowers held in your hand. At this place the humans are the hummingbird feeders.

I was fortunate enough to visit that same reserve in January and studied abroad in the area for the winter. A gorgeous part of the world and an unforgettable experience! The velvet-purple coronets and toucan barbets we saw there will always hold a special place in my heart

[@gracie2298]

Put it on my bucket list!

[@maryjones6580]

Soo awesome I'll have to try it with my flowers ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@raybaker8726]

That is awesome. I rent a small apartment from a hay farmer out in the middle of nowhere. In early spring this year I had a male and female hummingbird who would fly close and chirp at me. I bought a feeder and hung it outside. Since then they now know me. Opened window one day to get feeder and the male followed the feeder into apartment chirping. He quickly went back out and hovered at window until I put feeder back on hook. He hovered chirping and as soon as I closed window he was at the feeder.

[@rebecagarcia6943]

What a beautiful and special experience!!!!

[@glenncarlson3161]

When I lived in Washington I used to hold my feeder (Same one you use) in the palm of my hands and they would land on the feeder to drink. Sometimes sitting on my hand instead of sitting on the feeder. So cool

[@annecohen8927]

You made these precious hummingbirds so happy!!! Yay!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vicb5098]

Remarkable. These birds appear a little larger than my yard hummers.

Amazing experience for you. You are a blessed soul. It looks like heaven. One day I will go there as well. I want to feel the hummers as well. Here in Canada I am able attract only a couple for ruby throated hummers every summer to my feeders, but look at this place just amazing. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.

[@MR-pr8tp]

How cool. Been trying to hand feed hummingbirds but no luck. Not related to this video but just landed on a you tube about the albino (all white) hummingbirds that have been seen in Alabama. Just love these fierce tiny birds, fascinating and can watch all day. Thanks for sharing as usual.

[@geraldinerice5371]

Amazing. Gorgeous.

[@Terri_Stauffer]

That is awesome, what a special experience . I saw handheld feeders for sale and thought it was gimmick. I guess they will eat from hands.

[@candeeclark3457]

Such a beautiful experience

[@christinal.5804]

IF ONLY I COULD DO THIS IN MY BACKYARD😢SO AMAZING😊

[@DawnDBoyerPhD]

Those hummers look huge!!

[@cissymcilwain8964]

Wow that’s awesome. Ours get close to me but never tried anything like that.

[@redsolocup22879]

I'm actually trying to get the ones around my house to trust me enough so I can do this. My grandmother used to do it when i was a kid.

[@verlenelewis9866]

Boy, I would go all the way to Ecuador to be able to do that!!😁

[@HummingbirdSpot]

They would love to have you! Contact Xavier at Neblina Forest Birding Tours!

[@connielazzaro856]

Wow !!! I love this ... This is such a joy to watch ... What an amazing experience this must have been ... I wonder what the flower is and can it grow here in USA ? I dont know if it is allowed to bring to the states re restrictions ETC ... I dont know if its even wrong to maybe introduce a "foreign" plant ... But maybe if it helps Nature ... the Hummingbirds etc ... it's ok ... I know they sure love that flower ... Thanks 4 sharing this !!! 🌻💜

[@shay5025]

They are just like getting 30 Grams of protein from the flower!

[@alicedent8864]

What a absolutely fantastic experience for you. I would love that experience. What was the flower they were enjoying? Thank you!

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I don’t know. I should have asked them!

[@nancyleigh8016]

How thrilling that was for you and for us too! What a treat, right? I love how you can identify every single one of them and their sex. Amazzzzzing Carole!! We get different species here near Pasadena, however, I can't name them lol. They're all beautiful and we just love those 1st visits from babies🥰Thanks for sharing your fun with us. ❤️

[@ediedarlenecreations]

What a magical experience 💕

[@candeeclark3457]

[@_Moonlight92]

So amazing!

[@themagnet61]

You are a lucky woman

[@Andre_XX]

Wow!

[@nelyriveracasisillguthchan2276]

They are so cute…

[@subtle548]

Shout out to the not mentioned Green-crowned Brilliant (Heliodoxa jacula), one of which is in the video thumbnail background and appears from 1:19 to 1:36 in the video.

[@SABOARITI]

What a special experience.! What flower are you holding? I would love to do that at my home but it will take hours to build up the trust. I just enjoy them from my office watching the bully reign. Others do get to feed though.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I have no idea what that flower is. It grows locally in Ecuador. I'm sorry I didn't ask. If anyone knows I would love them to tell me!

[@staufferfamily9629]

Wow, this is so neat! I bet it was amazing to see them so up close. 😊

[@JamieB2012]

That is amazing!!

[@esuida]

Wish I could experience that!

[@ashleyunderwood4855]

How magical!!! Oh I’d love to do this!

[@ChrisWootenNorthCarolina]

I have never seen hummingbirds that big. I thought they were all tiny. In western NC I have feeders but my birds are tiny little things. I had no idea there were hummingbirds this size.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Yes, they come in all shapes and sizes. Some have really long tails.

[@PFAM5]

Truly amazing!
