Hand Feeding a Hummer

Viewed 19 Times

The caretaker for the Sanctuary passed out airline liquor bottles filled with sugar-water and a small hole punched through the cap.  He demonstrated how to hold the bottle in one hand and to position your index finger of your other hand about 5″ away.  Soon enough a hummingbird came to feed and if you were lucky enough one would perch on your finger while feeding.
