This ladys name is Abigail and she slowly got hummingbirds to eat out of her hands. Hope I'm doing this right. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/ddaa00a0f0fb.jpg)

Very nice. I have held a baby hummer once when it tried to fly a touch too early. Just long enough to return it to its nest.

Mui Bien, Gata! I've had them fly up in my face and buzz me, but never feed from my hand.

Me too, Thorny! I've been buzzed a few times over the years, but cannot imagine feeding them out of my hands!
That is a fantastic picture - thanks so much for sharing it!
