They are such sweethearts. They usually set on my feeder waiting for me to put the food out in the mornings. They let me get within a couple of feet of them. I tried playing a statue with food in my hand one day, but they just kind of looked at me and moved on to another feeder....Ah, maybe someday.
I did get a hummingbird to feed out of a feeder while I was holding it this year. I know they will drink from your hands sometimes too, but I haven't tried it.

Hope you have a happy day.
They're good at teaching patience, aren't they?
Janice - keep trying, they'll learn to trust you :) I love holding the feeder for the hummingbirds, it's really neat to see them so up close :)
Craver - they sure are!
