tell god to turn down the temperature, he's trying to kill his own creations lol *rolls eyes* tbh global warming is something that may make huge swaths of the planet uninhabitable and i truly hope the hummers can weather the horrible changes that humans have cause to this world, i hope us as humans can do what we can to help them as much as possible so they dont overheat

Bless your heart Robbie! I pray along with you that every living creature is spared from this heat and the fires, take care Robbie. 😉💗

Cooler today, all looks good, tons of birds feeding today, and ready for any hot weather today, with frozen nectar, thank you so much, take care, Robbie

I'm just now seeing this video Robbie, and I have to tell you it does my heart good to see how much you care and how far you will go to care for your precious little flying jewels. God bless you for all you do always for God's creatures.

As a little girl, I remember grandma would make hummingbird food and put it out by the kitchen window....the most beautiful hummingbirds would show up.....you and Gary are beautiful examples of how we all should be better stewards of this earth.....thank you for your hearts....

Love and prayers from Indiana. I pray with tears in my eyes every day and think about the people affected by the fire. Have family in Washington State. I love what you're doing for God's creature. I promise you will be blessed

Your hummingbirds look so happy! I’m glad they have your oasis that they can live happily and be healthy and content. Thank you for taking such good care of the animals. The world needs more people like you!

Great ideas! Thank you, Robbie. We were at 114 for the last couple of days in LA, CA. Thankfully I have shaded areas where the hummingbirds like to rest. The feeders are in the shade also. There were 30 or more hummingbirds sitting on my vines the last two days. I could see them panting and only flying to the feeders for a quick drink, then back to the vines. I made sure they had plenty of fresh nectar and lots of cool water in the bird baths throughout the day. I kept adding ice to the bird baths. The heat finally broke this morning. The hummingbirds were so happy flying around as I watered my garden. I set the hose to the mist setting, and they would fly through it as I pointed the hose up in the air. We went down to 93 degrees today, and the birds were much happier and livelier.

You are your husband are such beautiful and inspiring souls!

I put a mister on the end of my hose. Then stick it in a tree, a bush, draped on your sheppards hook, a fence, trellis, whatever, and turn it on. It’s only a mist, so it doesn’t use a lot of water and they love ❤️ it.

Oklahoma City had pink skies this morning because of the Denver wildfires. Prayers for the hummingbirds. We are filling our large feeders two times a day. Love them. ❤️

I appreciate all you do for the birds, Robbie and Gary. I’ve been able to grow more vegetables than ever before by using the large containers you use. I wasn’t able to garden anymore since 2012 after 6 spinal fusions. Not enough strength to dig up a garden. The containers worked so well. Thank you for teaching me that too. You have such a loving heart, and I love the dedication you have for the birds. ❤️

I have major spinal issues too and miss my gardening. I was never green fingered but had managed to get some plants growing and have wanted for so long to grow my own veg. But I can barely walk down my garden as it's so uneven. I'm gonna have to try the containers too. I have several of the big plastic storage tubs lying idle since co-vid declutter. Your comment reminded me to get to it. I hope your spine doesn't give you too much problems. It's so horrible when the back plays up and when doctors don't take you seriously for years - that's been my issue. I'm now barely able to walk anymore but I have finally got a diagnosis. Had to go to another country to get it and the outlook isn't great. I've been told in layman's terms (couldn't understand the medical terms) one good sneeze could end me as a quadriplegic. May have to get spinal fusion done too. Was it difficult to go through and what was your healing time if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you for taking care of the hummy babies. Prayers to you, Gary, & Miss Kitty

God Bless you for helping the humming birds and saving their lives!

You guys are the best. I was so worried about my hummers last winter since they didn't leave. I was afraid they would die with the snow & freezing temps, but with trial & error & your tips they made it!! I now have 2 babies added to their household. I absolutely adore them. I never get tired of their antics. We have a heatwave going on in Idaho too. Air quality is bad also. I am going to follow your heatwave tips too. I have learned so much from you, and your live chat last winter really eased my mind. Thank you both for all the important things you teach us about our tiniest friends, ♡Patty

Hell0, I live in Hemet ca.where the heat 🔥 was 117/118. I also have hummingbirds that were really stressed during these severe heat extremes. Fortunately I have a tree that has some dense fulage and I would wet the entire tree for a good ten minutes 4 times a day! Those birds LOVED IT! I ALSO RAISE MONARCHS THEY TOOK A TOLL ON THEM luckily I brought my operation inside and held off letting them go. You guys are doing a great great job with those little ones. Thanks for the great ideas. All the best! J.L.

I Love The Water Fountains

Praying for cooler days for you. You are doing all you can do👍🏻❤️

I love your passion towards the sweet little hummers. you've inspired me to make a hummer station. 3 feeders and flowers, complete with the ball fountain you made in another vid. Please keep sharing your knowledge, passion and dedication. The world needs more people like you.

Whenever I hear of the California fires, I think of you and your household. I'm so glad y'all are safe. Thank you so much for looking after your littles! Praying for better air, less heat and no more fires! Prayers from Florida 🙏🥀🌡

Thank you for taking care of these birds. I really think, if you haven't done it already, your place should be certified as a national wildlife urban habitat through the National Wildlife Federation.

I love people that take the time to feed and care for the birds. I make a double batch (8 cups) of hummingbird nectar every morning and always have to jugs in the refrigerator. If I ever go on vacation again, I'll need to hire someone to hummingbird sit :)

My heart goes out to you and your little hummers. Good Luck

Thanks for the update Robbie, I’ll keep you and all wildlife in my prayers.

Your heart is so free with love. To care for the hummies the way you do. It is above and beyond. About a year ago I bought a 🏠 in North Texas but the final decision to do it was that a hummingbird circled me during the visit to make my final decision to buy. I pray that you, Gary, the hummies and fur baby kitty will stay safe from the 🔥.

I don't know how to send you a picture but I can tell you what I have been doing. I drink a lot of Folgers coffee the containers are red just the right color I take my jigsaw cut the bottom off just about where it starts to dip in for the handle can I take a about one and a quarter inch drill bit because they top of my hummingbird feeders are already red and I make hummingbird feeder hats. It keeps me hummingbird juice in the shade for most of the day. I'm sure it would help a lot

Hi Robbie, I actually had 112° here (Hac Hts)! I have a solar fountain going in my patio, in shade. I had never seen any hummingbirds use it until yesterday! I was so excited and sad all at the same time. This morning I found a poor lil gem on the ground outside of my patio, and it had perished! I also pray for all creatures to be spared.

Thank you for taking such great care of the birds!

I am in Az , and it’s as hot as it is there! The fires are so horrific! Thank you for this!!

Yahuah Baruk you in abundance!

God bless you Robbie for taking care of the hummingbirds. The only way we kept our wildlife alive in very hot summer was to put a fine spray sprinkler under the trees and the birds kept going in the spray. Saved the chooks as well. Careful of the smoke we had bushfires last year here in Australia and I used to put a wet towel over my face to go out into the yard but some months later I ended up in hospital with a dark patch on my lung. It’s gone now but I think it was from the smoke

Thank you so much for this important information. I and others are praying for your state and that you are kept safe.

Hello from Lebanon Missouri. Bless your heart

Yes here in Arizona it gets very hot 110 and hotter..so I have been doing the same the feeders are in the shade but become very hot quick I have had to change them as well. I also put trumpet vines in pots by the feeders where there in the shade and they eat from those the smoke is also been in my area for about 2 weeks that has caused it to become cooler due too the smoke blocks the sun. So that part was good.we all try to figure out ways to help the wild life around us I'm glad you take the time to share to make folks aware and things to do to Help you have very good. Ideas thax for sharing and all you do. If anyone has any ideas post them you never know how it may help.God Bless Anyone going thru these hard times stay safe out there.Pray for each other..

Hi Robbie, I am in Murrieta and was worried about my hummingbirds as well. I put some hummingbird food in ice trays and put a few frozen cubes in their feeders to help keep their food cool. It was sooo hot on Saturday...it is supposed to get hot this weekend, but thankfully not the 118 we had on Saturday. We have ash all over our yard as well...stay cool!!

You are going good work !!! My thoughts are with you as you deal with this crazy weather!!! 💖💖💖💖

Can you put up a larger shade area around your window or maybe a fan blowing towards feeders? You’re so kind to help those sweet angels ❤️

I see others have suggested misters or water sprinklers and that is so helpful for cooling off the little ones. Remember when you were watering that plant off your deck and they were enjoying the water and bath? I know it will increase your water bill, but you don't have to run it all day, just in the heat of the day. It will also help to keep all the birds clean from the falling ashes.

Thank you so much! Every effort helps.

We are in Central British Columbia, Canada. Our Hummingbirds are all pretty much gone, just a few still coming in from farther up North. Hope and Prayers are sent your way, for the heat wave and Fires to be gone soon! It's warm here, about 30 degrees Celsius, and cool during the night.

The CA situation is really scary. It’s 95/ 100 F down here all summer but not 112! (We grow sugar, there’s plenty! It likes the heat) Perhaps dry ice in a shady place could create a cooler zone? Dropping the temp a few degrees could help enormously. Bless y’all for aiding these little birds.

Maybe a water mister up by the feeders by the window? I give them a wee be more water in the feeding solution so they have more water, but I’m in Northern California. Good idea of the frozen food and ziplock baggies with ice cubes. Prayers for all the little critters.

I use misters in Las Vegas above the feeders. It drips down the branches and makes mini rain forests.

In Palm Spring I had 2 fountains going all summer long. The hummers sat on the top tier in the water. They would drink water constantly. The feeder food gives them the energy they need to look for knats and pollen the food they rely on. So...They need just plain water too! Hello to everyone! 💜

I love this video. Thank you for being so nice to these birds. 115° is par for the course for the summer in my area. In my experience, taking care of the feeders requires just a bit more work when it gets this hot: changing the nectar and cleaning more times per day. A lot of nectar goes down the sink, unfortunately, but at least the birds are happy. Like you, I also use ice and they love it. I also take feeders out of the sun. They don’t like that, but it is better than the birds getting burnt feet or tongues. They are resilient survivors. It just amazes me how nice your birds are with each other. I have Anna’s, Costa’s, and black-chins were I live. The dominant Anna’s and Costa’s are aggressive+++. The sky over my yard looks like the Battle of Britain by 6:00 PM. I feel so bad for the little ones who get chased away.

Thank you🌷

Birds cool through their feet also like chickens so if you spray areas on the ground where they would walk that will help cool them. I've been letting the bottom of my chicken coop so that they are forced to walk on damp ground during the hottest part of the day lately here in Arizona. I do notice their wings held out away from their bodies and their little beaks open panting so I know they're hot and suffering I also put a shallow pan of water in the shade in their coop and sprinkled in mealworms so they have to get in there to eat them which they do instantly which makes their feet get wet. Just some suggestions for our bird friends

Thank you for all the ideas. Hopefully we dont have to see this kind of heat again, but if we do I'll be better prepared to help my little bird friends.
