This is too cool!

A lady in LA actually trained these hummingbirds to eat from her hand. The tiny flying jewels have very brave hearts and will do this when they’re familiar with, and comfortable around their human hosts.

These photos are not altered in any way, this woman lives in a hummingbird fly zone. As the birds migrated, a large group of 15-20 of them were in her yard.  She used the red dish from the hummingbird feeder, filled it with sugar water and this was the amazing result.

Her name is Abagail Alfano of Pine, Louisiana – she has been studying her hummingbirds daily.  One morning she decided to see if her hummers would feed from her hands. As the hummers had gotten used to her standing by the feeder, they came over to drink from the dish.  She says they are as light as a feather.  Abagail also said, if she had known her husband was taking pictures  she would have put on makeup.

Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Alfano for the wonderful photos!
