The woman who posted this video of a baby hummingbird’s first flight a few days ago wrote:
Anna’s Hummingbird Baby sits next to the nest for the first time (in this shot he was sitting there for max 30 minutes), gets fed by mom, says bye to his sibling and flies for the first time !
Also mom seems to nudge the remaining baby a bit in the buttock, as if to say: Now you, you are next 🙂
When I returned 4 hours later both had left and I saw one of the young ones at my feeder in the afternoon.
Good luck, Hummingbird Babies, and enjoy life !
