How do you get humming birds to land on you?
I've done it, but it takes a lot of patience. I've also taken some great up-close photos of them while they were feeding. I even have a photo of them feeding from my hand (the feeder is in my palm). Hang a humming bird feeder low enough so you can watch them at eye level while they feed. Watch them from a distance to see when their busiest feeding time of the day is. You have to stand very, very still, about 2 feet away from the feeder, and try not to even blink while they are feeding. After a day or so, when they are used to seeing you, take the feeder down and place it in your palm, with your arm out stretched. Do this during their busiest feeding time when there will be more of them present. Hold your outstretched arm, with the feeder in the palm of your hand very, very still. You may even have to put something to brace your arm on. The birds should then begging to feed from the feeder, then gradually light on your hand and/or arm.
