Awww! Poor hummer. They're so teeny tiny, it's amazing to me that they even survive cool nights, much less the migrating many of them do.
I love putting feeders out for hummers. We don't get nearly the variety of them here in Missouri that I used to have in Houston, of course. We mostly see ruby throats with an Anna's occasionally, and only for a couple of months of the year. But it's so fun to sit out on the deck while they come to the feeders just a couple of feet from us...they really are fearless little buggers, and so pugnacious! There's usually one that chases everyone off, so I have to make sure I have two feeders at opposite ends of the deck.

Not so fun fact... I had one hit my plate glass window last week and died. I can vouch, they do have feet :) I was amazed by the size of it in my hand, poor little thing I really did feel bad.
Fun fact: Hummingbirds belong to the avian order Apodiformes, which comes from the Greek "a", meaning without, and "pod", meaning feet. Their feet are so tiny that the first ancient naturalists to see them thought they didn't have feet at all.

I thought at first you were looking for a real one, for a pet! They are pretty damn cute...

I've seen them once or twice with the Asian decor at World Market, that might be worth a look if you have one locally.
Once in a while, the little Japanese restaurant by my office has them in the gift shop; apparently the college kids tend to snap them up quickly because they're very amused by the traditional oversized testicles.
