#hummingbirds — Public Fediverse posts

🐦 NEW: Biologists measured call amplitude in 123 bird species across #Massachusetts and #Brazil using #golf rangefinders paired with #sound meters, adding first-time #data for 113 of them.

Volumes spanned 58 dB, from #hummingbirds near conversational levels to the bare-throated #bellbird and red-legged #seriema above 120 dB. The louder #species tend to be larger with wider beaks.

🐦 NEW: #DNA evidence traces all 4,000 songbird species back to #Australia and the ancient supercontinent #Gondwana.

#Songbirds are among the few #animals, alongside #parrots, #hummingbirds, and #humans, that learn their #songs from parents and peers rather than instinct. Researchers say just six minutes of birdsong can improve well-being and lower heart rates.

Still seeing ruby-throated #hummingbirds around the house but soon they will all migrate away - going further south for the winter.

In case anyone was wondering...

They are still here! September 24.

Um, I think I need to make hummingbird nectar. I think the migration highway found my feeders today. I can't believe how many I have seen. Seeing multiple birds NOT fighting is also rare. They all eat and bounce. The experts say they don't go as a flock, but they do seem to be following a path.

Where Do Hummingbirds Sleep?

Hummingbirds tuck into sheltered perches at night and enter a deep rest to save energy. Knowing where they settle helps you make your garden safer from dusk to dawn.

Hummingbirds

The sun lays low in a
late afternoon sky
Among magenta-colored bougainvillea
tumbling over a white stone wall
Hummingbirds feast

Their tiny wings moving
at eighty beats per second
invisible to the naked eye
as their long, narrow beaks
draw out heaven's nectar

The summer heat continues here but it seems the #hummingbirds are starting their migration to the south, no longer seeing the regulars that were hanging around, just new ones moving through.

September 21 The hummingbirds are still here, but this weather probably has them yearning for warmer climes. Current conditions: 61 F (16 C), overcast, drizzle. They'll be leaving soon.

This one is looking nice and chubby with its feathers floofed out.

They're back! #hummingbirds

I thought my hummingbirds had left but look who showed up!

Cutest rescue dog finalists, spider gets a new home, hospital welcomes therapy dog, and hummingbird takes a nectar break

I love their little chirps! #hummingbirds #Memphis

I think we've stopped fighting and are now sharing. They must be getting ready to migrate

Happy Wednesday y’all!
The hummies were battling it out today, even tho i installed two more feeders! They are too cute and adorable. They kind of remind me of ruby throated ones but their red band is not as wide.
Lots of migratory #hummingbirds making their way down south. Be on the lookout and set up a feeder if you can.

Wednesday Hummingbird Wings Day. 🥰

Sorry these pics are through a window screen. All of my front yard hummingbirds are newer and not brave when humans get close to the window. This visitor showed up while I was already there.

I haven't seen much of my hummingbirds, but there has been a lot of chittering in the tree right above the patio.

#hummingbirds

Oh, shit, y'all, epic battle in the trees, maaaaaaan

#hummingbirds

Breaking news: an interloper showed up, and my girl buzzed me in the process of chasing her out. It was awesome

#hummingbirds

Was gonna do stuff, spent the afternoon staring at a hummingbird sitting in a tree right above me.

#Hummingbirds have already started their annual migration from Virginia. “Keep your feeders up for two weeks after you see the last bird using it,” says #Audubon: https://www.audubon.org/community-science/hummingbirds/how-create-hummingbird-friendly-yard
