Have you ever seen a hummingbird nest? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds5 months ago

Or any other kind of nest for that matter? What kind was it? Where there babies in it or was it empty (abondoned)?

I found a hummingbird nest in my yard the other day (this isn't the first one since I've lived here). Anyway, there is a baby in it and I was able to get some video of the momma feeding it. The quality isn't great, and it came out even worse on youtube, but if you'd like to see it here is the link:

I have other types of birds nests in my yard as well, but have not been able to see momma and babies in action together. I also saw an eagle's nest once, years ago, when I went camping with my dad and sister.

So, have you ever seen a bird nest?

Yes, I have seen them! I see the hummingbirds fly and dance through the sky! So beautiful. thumbupwinkwhistle


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

They sure are! I could watch them for hours. happy

We have a few around here because of the creek and the trees and plants that attract them! So beautiful yet tiny.

I don't think there are hummingbirds in my country... but i have seen some nest... and are the the ones made by the birds we call Maya... these are small birds that are quite abundant in my country... and it was originally our national bird... but the title was taken from them and given to the Philippine Eagle...

But because of a lot of tree cuttings... i saw a decline in the number of these birds... i hope they are still abundant in other areas...


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

I just looked up Maya bird and it looks a lot like the sparrows we have here in the US. I wonder if the could they be one in the same? If they are, we do have a lot of them here. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (5043)   ranked 30 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

They do look alike... maybe they are cousins...

I have seen many abandoned nests and only a few nests where i found eggs and not the young ones...the eggs are so very small that in wonder how a bird could come out of it...i have seen birds building a nest many a times and then i have seen quite grown ones when taking food from their mother's mouth...and once when i was very young, there was a hummingbirds nest i guess, which had three eggs in it, i found it in my garden in the mango trees and i used to watch it everyday to see the eggs hatch, i was noting it for over 10 days, there was no change and on the 11th day, there were no eggs in, only the abandoned nest was there and i was so upset that i cried a lot that daylol


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

Wow, 3 eggs? I have seen a hummingbird nest with 2 eggs, but never 3.

That's sad that the babies didn't make it.

Hi sacmom! I haven't seen any hummingbird's nest before and I don't think we have hummingbirds here in our country but I am not that sure. However, there are some birds' nests on the branches of the trees in our yard. I have seen them up close and there are eggs in the nest. I have seen them hatched and being fed too. However, never knew what kind of birds they are but they are very common here in our country. They are small birds with dull brown and grey feathers. They look cute though.
Take care always...God Bless!


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

Could you take a picture of these birds? I'd love to see them!


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (6839)   ranked 38 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

Hi sacmom! Sure, I will ask my husband to take pictures of them as soon as we have clear weather. It has been raining everyday here in our area because it is rainy season in our country and typhoons have been entering our country almost every week. However, I know that we did have a photo of the eggs in their nest which we rescued a few weeks back because it has been abandoned already. We are not sure why it was abandoned, we are just guessing because of the heavy rains.
Take care always..God Bless!


myLot reputation of 100/100. faith210 (6839)   ranked 38 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

Hi sacmom! I will be posting the photo of the eggs as soon as my husband comes home..I have forgotten the file name.

I haven't seen any hummingbird's nest. I don't also think that we have that particular specie of bird here in my country. One thing I am sure though is that we don't have it here in my city.


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

That's too bad. They are quite fascinating to watch. happy

I've never seen a pigeon nest before. How cool you were able to see it from your balcony.

Hello Sacmom, just last week I noticed two robins flying in and out of my apricot tree. When I went to check it out there was a nest up there. I've been watching them over the last week and its obvious that they have eggs there but I'm not sure they've hatched yet but they are taking good care of them and I'm doing my best not to disturb them. I dont have a camera so I cant get any pictures of them yet but I'm going to try to borrow one soon.
I do have a hummingbird feeder in my front yard and it does get a few visitors from time to time but I have no idea where they nest.

Hugs, Tianna


myLot reputation of 98/100. sacmom (3600)   ranked 10 out of 681 in birds  5 months ago

I also try not to disturb them. Whenever I have found a hummingbird nest, it was by accident. Like this one that I found. I happened to be sitting in a chair directly below the nest. shocked The momma bird scolded me with her chirping. I looked up without moving much and watched where she landed.

I've noticed with all the hummingbird nests that my family or I have spotted in all the years that we've lived here, the nests are always on the lowest branches of the trees.

I have never seen a hummingbirds nest but I have seen a hummingbird fly and it is so fascinating. I put a link to a mytube that shows a wild dove who made a nest in this women's hanging plant. The reason I liked this is a dove did the same thing to me. It wasn't a basket but a hanging planter. Every year my dove would come back. I could sit on the porch and she always stayed right there on her nest. I loved hearing her cooing. It was very relaxing. Here is the link and it is really neat.
