The ones at my parents house are so used to people that they will
hover over your clothes if you're wearing something red or yellow.
My dad has sent me fantastic pictures.


My dad found a hummingbird under his feeder one day, lying on the
sidewalk. He didn't really know what to do, but he picked it up with
some idea of nursing it back to health. Apparently, the warmth from
his hand was sufficient nursing, because after about five minutes, it
flew away. :-)

If the weather is too chilly, hummingbirds go into a sort of stasis, called
'torper'; they appear to be dead or sleeping until the warmth of hands or a
the sun warms them back up again. Then they buzz around being buzzy busy
little birds again.
