A beautiful documentary which follows mama and two baby Allen's
hummingbirds from birth to fledging. Filmed in Los Angeles, California.
High Definition. Original Music by Sheri Watson from her album
"Shuniya." PLEASE READ FURTHER TO LEARN CORRECTED INFORMATION ABOUT THE
BIRDS AND PLEASE NOTE: Hummingbirds are federally protected wildlife. Do
not attempt to rescue or interfere with a hummingbird without first
contacting your local Hummingbird Rescue for information. All filming of
this video was done only after being in contact with licensed
Hummingbird Rescue experts for guidance. It has, still, been brought to
my attention through some comments that I should not have filmed the
birds that close. Please take what I have been advised and do not film
birds close up unless you have a very long lens or a web cam. I
apologize to the bird lovers I have upset by this ignorance on my part. I
can be contacted at sheri@sheriwatson.com. ADDITIONAL NOTE: I
inadvertently passed on incorrect information in this video. The
"squirt" from the beak of the babies is actually their tongue. Also, the
woman I spoke to from the hummingbird rescue referred to the baby's
"hair" and I say that several times in the video. I have been otherwise
informed that the "hair" should be called "feathers." I also failed to
mention that the nests are often secured using spider webs. And, it
turns out the first bird to leave the nest is the male, not the female. I
have a newly edited and more informative version of this same video,
available for schools or educational purpose. sheri@sheriwatson.com
