This is my little guy "Finnegan" enjoying an evening watching over his feeders. He's been displaying to the girls, and had a long day. (Adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 2021)

I haven't been able to capture a terribly clean clip of a courtship display by the Ruby-throated Hummingbird males, but this is the one that I do have so far. You can at least hear his calls/sounds while he is making the U-shaped display.

Aloe Vera! The hummingbirds absolutely love the flowers they give off!

@LittleBrownie - How amazing! I have heard a few people now say they liked Aloe plants out West, so cool! I need to get photos of the native blooms they visit here.
