Hummingbird Travel Options! - Aviaries - Hummingbirds do not live well in captivity. This is why only a few aviaries have hummingbirds at all. The few that do are large enough to allow for the territorial birds to live comfortably without stress.They also have an eco-system that duplicates their environment in the wild. These aviaries fit the bill..no pun intended!
- Museums - with exhibits dedicated to hummingbirds
- Gardens - both public and private, often with tours of specific flowers preferred by hummingbirds. Some have lovely fountains, misters, and bird baths enjoyed by hummingbirds
- Parks - in the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, and South America with hiking areas and family nature parks to view hummingbirds.
- Resorts - romantic travel with first class accommodations containing hummingbird gardens for the romantic couple.
- Hummingbird Festivals - fun outings often with banding demonstrations, "Adopt-A-Hummingbird", and many activities for children and adults alike.

Here's Another Hummingbird Story
From Debbie In British Columbia |
|
Hummingbirds year round by Debbie Massullo
January 23, 2026
(Coquitlam, British Columbia) |
|
I have been feeding hummingbirds for about 5 years.
I live in Southern British Columbia.
Through the winter I bring in my feeder at night so it will be at room temperature by morning.
In the morning I make a fresh bit of nectar
6 tsp sugar to 2 tbsp of hot water.
I add this to my room temperature nectar which at that point is usually adding the infusion to about 1.5 cups of nectar that is already in the feeder.
When it is about 30 minutes before sunrise I activate one or two hand warmers depending on temperature and tape them to the bottom of my feeder to ensure they have warm nectar throughout the day.
They are generally waiting for me about 20 minutes before sunrise to bring out the feeder.
There is usually one waiting to buzz my head at that time.
I have a beautiful relationship with them.
I liken my brain to the way they move.
Zip here and zip there.
I heard I believe a very upset hummingbird this morning.
It was ticking as they do in communication but it was constant for about 2 minutes.
I do believe the bird was upset about something.
As I was listening to the sound it made, it occurred to me that their conversation almost sounded like a form of Morse code. |
