Thirty Hummingbirds Ritual Bathe Together In Forest Fountain

Mar 05, 2020 by apost team

This massive group of hummingbirds decided to bathe together on a square fountain. They splash and clean themselves in the water as it flows from the middle of the fountain. Eventually, some of the birds finish their bath and fly away. 

Hummingbirds are amazing birds in any situation. They hover and fly as few other birds can, and they do everything with incredible energy. The flashes of bright, almost metallic color from their beautiful feathers make them an unbeatable spectacle in the summertime. They also love to eat at the same feeder again and again, often bringing more of their friends at each feeding.

But this video isn’t about suppertime, it’s about playtime. Ready to cool off from a long day of chasing nectar, the hummingbirds stop in at a birdbath with which they seem to be pretty familiar.

The photographer captured an amazing sight—a group of 30 hummingbirds, splashing and playing in a birdbath with all the joy and mischief of a group of kids hitting the pool on the first day of summer.

Spotting a single hummingbird or even a pair is an exciting experience since they move so quickly and are so picky about what they eat. To see a group this large all at once is nothing short of miraculous, and it really gives you a dose of summer spirit.

You can’t help but wonder if they’re having as much fun as it looks like they’re having and if they are glad to have returned to their familiar home from their winter refuge down south.
