Hummingbirds and House birds

I have developed a deep love and admiration of hummingbirds.  They dive bomb our backporch usually one of the larger more territorial hummers after another less alpha bird.  They zoom in and out and around and often come very close to ears as we walk outside.  At the moment we have one hummingbird feeder out there and an oriole feeder out on the feeding station post further out.  But I have asked for hummingbird feeders for Christmas.  The one we have now we got last Christmas from our oldest daughter and her family.  The hummers have loved it and we love watching them.  I think this is a white eared hummer.

Same white eared hummer in testing his wings........

I don't know if this is an Anna's or Costa's or it could be some other kind....feel free to let me know.......

And another........

This one is a little blurry, but the purple on its neck is just beautiful.......maybe a male Costa??

This is Bleu our guest ring necked who talks up a storm.  I will add a video of him talking at the end.  He is amazing and enjoyed having the hummers fly around his cage while he was outside this afternoon.

This is his cohort Tango who doesn't like to have his picture taken and the camera knows it. 

There was another beautiful Arizona sunset tonight that we enjoyed also.

And here is a video of Bleu talking to me.....
