Live Hummingbird Nest Cam
This is a live broadcast of a wild female hummingbirds nesting. There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Some have been given names such as Bella, Rosie and Luna. Their nests are located in Ficus trees and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Bella lays 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 17 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. She has been laying 4 to 5 clutches each year for several years. When it’s not nesting season you will see a Hummingbird feeder on the live cam. For more information about hatches, camera set-up and more check out bellahummingbird.com.
Goodnight — Love and Hugs
i still replied a little something (parrot) below.
Fascinating story about your adventures while bird-sitting a parrot šš
Sometimes it doesnāt take a lot to make us happy! I just had another milestone since the ablation. I took a shower for the first time in my shower! I have taken a shower in it with my transfer bench, but that is sorta hard. If you donāt know what that is, it is like a shower chair with two legs in the tub and two legs outside. It is to allow the user to sit down outside the tub and swing the legs inside. No climbing into the tub. I got it when I had my first knee done.… Read more Ā»
CONGRATULATIONS š¤øš¤ø I don’t like those transfer benches either; they’re a PITA š
Thanks! They sure are!
hey, this is good progress in the right direction, dear debbie!!
Iām tickled. Thanks!
can you believe it, we had a tornado in our area a short while ago. our dd was here to visit, and we had looked out of the window in the direction to frankfurt, and i saw that huge cloud , and i said, that could look like a tornado. we had never seen anything like that before. a while ago, we NEVER had that stuff in germany. but lately, it happens more often. now i saw on the news, it actually WAS a tornado. hundreds of trees down , roofs destroyed, cars destroyed, people injured. we here only had… Read more Ā»
Gabi! So glad you & your family are safe. That must’ve been terrifying. {{HUGS}} Goodnight dear Gabi ā„ hope you can sleep š“
it was very irritating, in fact.i am glad, it was not above us, but the poor folks, that had it over their roofs!! oh yes i can sleep now, danger is over. this is just new to us.
Oh my gosh Gabi! I sure am glad I didnāt know this was going on. Iād have been beside myself with worry. So glad you and family are safe. Prayers for those not so lucky. Hope you sleep well after all that.
thank you, debbie, i still think those big tornadoes, you have in the usa, are much much worse than what we just had. crazy weather!!
now i must be “dorothy” again with another goodnite.
šAnd I must say, GO TO BED!
This was in my FB feed; Struck me as so funny! š For the lives of her cats, my sister had to store her flip-flops in plastic bins, else the cats would chew mercilessly
So that is not your sisterās shoes cause you said bins. Reminds me of my sisterās chihuahua. Just about every time I talk to her she tells me, with considerable emphasis, that Marlie is into EVERYTHING! My avatar parrot could get into a lot of stuff before we knew it. A computer guy once installed an internet line. When he finished we walked him to the door. In that short time Makita came off her cage, under the roll top desk where the computer was, and chewed that wire. We were so embarrassed to call the phone company! They radioed… Read more Ā»
That’s a great story Debbie šš
Makita was a stinker. And so smart! They said a C0ckat00 has the intelligence of a five year old. I believe it. And a very spoiled kid! One of my favorite things she said, when she saw us get car keys, was āgo bye bye, go bye, bye, Iāll be goodā. Still donāt know how she learned that. Notice she said āIā. If we talked to her we would say āyou be goodā. Iām sure we said bye bye to her. Also be good. But she learned somehow to make that sentence we never said to her and use the… Read more Ā»
wow, like it had a kind of awareness.a bit creepy?– nooo, just an intelligent bird, of course, its remarkable, though.
Wow! I knew they were really smart. One of the women who comes by once in a while, Cathy, has a parrot; his name is Tango. I don’t know what sub-species he is, but super smart.
a long time ago, a friend of mine gave me her parrot to care for ,while she went in holidays. this bird would sit on my chest like a hen and being petted. i bought some kind of seeds on a cob, it said, it would keep the bird busy for hours. (to eat it). this fellow needed just a few minutes, to tear it apart and throw it on the floor. it flew thru my livingroom-loosing feathers, and it would bite me, when i put it back in his cage. i used a stirring spoon (wooden) then, to offer… Read more Ā»
when it was on my chest, i saw, that it had a dry,black leatherlike tongue, and an odd smell out of the beak.my friend said later, this was normal. the bird would also hold a french fry, noodle and a small peace of meat in his talon and eat it. other than that he had parrot food.
it was called LORA.
Very typical parrot behavior. Do you remember the color of the parrot? This is my other parrot, Casey. He is a yellow naped Amazon and 31 years old! Did the bird you took care of look anything like him? Talking about the bird on your chest. Makita laid an egg on Joanās chest! There is a funny story that goes with that the others have heard. But you are gone now and I donāt know if tomorrow you will dive this far.
yeah, it is
Good morning BellaFam – Been so hot, the cats look like melted fur; but it’s been 59-60 these last couple mornings = so nice. And it’ll be 90 before we know it
Went to feed/water the cats & one of the neighbors was almost in front of the house on his motor scooter; instead of turning around, i just did a backward wave; next thing i know, he’s tooting his horn at me. I will miss this neighborhood; the people are the best around. 
Sunday Blessings
Hopefully your new neighbors will be just as nice. I think you said yāall would live a bit outside Pueblo, so we will still be talking about a semi rural area.
Hi Debbie – uh, yes, we don’t want to move from Pueblo.
I thought Pueblo is where you are moving to. I know you live close to there now, but still rural farmland. I thought you were moving closer to town. Guess it is the Springs you are moving to then.
I must be saying this wrong; we live in Pueblo farm country, we want to move 15-20 miles closer to the center of Pueblo.
Ok! I had it right the first time. Forgive me, Iām a little dense!
{{HUGS}}
you and dense! NEVER-EVER!!!
Thanks! Why arenāt you in bed?
going NOW.
Morning!
I love your chat~ it is so interesting!
Thanks Ardy
And Good morning to you
Thanks Ardy. That was a nice thing to say. So why is this chat interesting?
