Allen hummingbird

Allen hummingbird:

Hummingbirds are attractive to watch as they fly over their favorite, usually red flowers in the garden on a hot summer's day roughly their long beaks deep into the flowers to nourish on the nectar. Gardeners and bird watchers buy hummingbird feeders which they fill with sugar water, dyed red so that they can persuade the birds near enough to get a good look or maybe a photograph. These birds live mostly in the west of the Rocky Mountains and a majority of them live south of the Mexican border.

Interesting Facts:

Hummingbirds, like all birds, enjoy a good bathe. Try keeping a sprinkler in the back garden in the late evenings, long before sunset; turn the sprinkler on to attract birds. They love to groom. They are also known to sun bathe and are a pleasure to watch during this time.
