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.

How can you catch a hooded oriole?

I suggest buying a hummingbird feeder and filling it with sugar water (hooded orioles like drinking the sugar water from a hummingbird feeder) Then, hang the humming bird feeder in a bird cage outside. Attatch a string to the bird cage door and hold the string. Go inside and watch the cage from your window. When the hooded oriole goes in the cage, pull the string and the door will close.

How do you make homemade treats for squirrels?

I've found that if you put out a bird feeder, you will feed the squirrels! LOL I saw a post on another site that had the following squirrel treat recipe: Take a pinecone and tie a string around the center with about 4' left for hanging. Use a butterknife or spoon to fill all the crevasses with peanut butter. Roll in birdseed, then hang it outside from a tree or other support. The original poster came back and made a comment that you might want to use a thin wire to hang it, as one of her squirrels keeps chewing through the string and dragging the treat away! Hope this helps, Marti
