Hummingbird Time!

9/30/2016

It is humming bird time in Texas! In the upcoming weeks you should be spotting a tiny bird zipping from flower to flower.

Tiny? Yes, tiny. Hummingbirds are the smallest bird in size. Ranging from the 2ish-inch Bee Hummingbird of Cuba to the 8.5-inch Giant Hummingbird of South America. Even though they are small in size, their "family" is huge; with approximately 340 species recorded. Of those species, you are more likely to white-eared, green-breasted mangoes, blue-throated and Allen's broad-billed in the greater Houston area. That doesn't mean you won't see a few others!

Want to see them more often? Make a hummingbird friendly backyard. Plan a variety of summer blooms such as Turk's Cap or Salvia and set up feeders containing sugar water [see recipe below.] Hummingbirds are fierce competitors so if you spot multiples, then add more feeders. Once they find a food source, they will come back annually and maybe even all year long!

Hummers sugar water
Ingrediants

1/4 cup REFINED white sugar (Honey can promote fungal growth & organic, natural sugars contain harmful levels of iron)
1 cup boiling water
bowl
spoon

Steps

Mix sugar & boiling water until sugar is dissolved.
Cool and fill feeder.
Hang up your feeder outside and wait for the hummingbirds to visit!

Such an informative blog post. There are so many things and facts that we should really understand about the hummingbirds. Thank you for sharing that other information including the recipe on how to make a "Hummers sugar water". This will help us to prepare our backyard for the hummingbirds. Beyond everything, we should always remember that birds, like other animals, need care and protection. Better to make them free if you cannot help them live. Protect them from other people who don't care about their extinction.

What I like about blogs like this one is that it is so diverse. I like the way you write about how and what these birds are. It seems to be that you are excited and very much interested in them. I do agree that the same with other people I only have very little knowledge about these creatures. But with your help you made me realize that these birds are not JUST birds but that these birds are amazing, intelligent and wonderful creatures that we have around us.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. There are theoretically no restrictions on where the ketogenic diet might be used, and it can cost less than modern anticonvulsants. However, fasting and dietary changes are affected by religious and cultural issues. A culture where food is often prepared by grandparents or hired help means more people must be educated about the diet. When families dine together, sharing the same meal, it can be difficult to separate the child's meal. In many countries, food labelling is not mandatory so calculating the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrate is difficult. In some countries, it may be hard to find sugar-free forms of medicines and supplements, to purchase an accurate electronic scale, or to afford MCT oils.
