Will orioles scare hummingbirds away from a my hummingbird feeder?

Not really. Most likely when the orioles come the hummingbirds will fly away. However, when the oriole leaves the hummingbirds will return again. If the hummingbirds do not return put up a oriole feeder that should keep it away from the hummingbird feeder.

Male hummingbirds have a territory and feeders within that territory belong to that male. Males will determine who gets to use the feeder. The male will "attack" any others by simply fly toward them and chasing them away and not let them return.


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.

Meaning of two mourning doves landing in front of you at the same time?

I would take this as a good omen. Doves (at least here) are very rare, so to see two at one time leads me to believe it would be good luck. It only means that you are fortunate that the doves were not afraid of you. It does not mean anything else. There is no good luck attached to the incident. They were two doves wishing to land where they did, that you were nearby had nothing to do woth it. They are lovely birds, and their plaintive song is beautiful. I love to hear them when I am waking up. Oh. I should think that the second one to land was much more interested in the first one to land than he was in you. It was a pleasant coincidence.

What does it mean if the doves don't fly away at the funeral?

The Dove or white pigeon (Columbiformes, to get technical) is a symbol of Peace and also represents the Holy Spirit. The spiritual angle of (Rest in Peace) and the soul taken flight (upward, one prays) all fall in. This should not be confused with Mourning which are not used in funerary practice, it"s just a name, and these are tan or brownish colored, so-called from pathetic cooing calls. They, too are of the Pigeon group.
