Rare Hot Pink Hummingbird Is Pure Fairy-Tale Magic

Spring is my favorite season, as a lady who loves birds. I have several, and we have an acre of land with a whole lot of trees: it's basically bird city in my backyard. One bird I am working on finding better ways to see more of is the Hummingbird! They're my favorite.

Recently, one bird lover showed off a Hummingbird that I'd love to see, and he just turned up at her bird feeder! She was so lucky to see him, and she was kind enough to slow it down so everyone could get a look at his awesome, hot pink coloring:

Crystal's POV includes this gorgeous Hummingbird, so I need to see more of her POV at once. I never get to see Hummingbirds! This one in particular is just so cute, with his little Barbie pink head. It's really interesting, because the color changes at certain angles.

From the side, you can still see some of that purple/pink shimmer, though it looks a little darker. When he turns toward the camera, though, wow! This is Barbie's dreamhouse, but on a bird.

Though it's a little hard to tell what kind of Hummingbird this is from the video alone, it looks like it could be an Anna's Hummingbird.

While the species isn't uncommon at all, seeing one with an entirely pink head is definitely a rare treat! If that's not enough, though, there are other Hummingbirds who love to visit her garden:

She has several of the cutest Hummingbird feeders ever in her garden, where she also has a bunch of beautiful flowers. No wonder the Hummingbirds love it there!

Where Are Anna's Hummingbirds Most Common?

If you want to try to find a Hummingbird who has an entirely pink head, too, looking out for a mature Anna's Hummingbird is the way to go. Typically, they just have little patches of pink/orange/red on their throats.

Anna's Hummingbirds are found along the Pacific Coast, and they're easiest to spot in the springtime. They're a mid-sized Hummingbird, and they're most attracted to:

  • Red flowers.
  • High-producing nectar flowers, like Jasmine.
  • Certain types of berry plants, like gooseberries and red currants.

You can also go the typical "feeder" route with a nectar mixture inside, but if you can swing it, having some natural flowers as well will help your chances. Having a mix of both is great, too!
