It has always been one of our favorite things to do in the Caribbean - feeding sugar to our birdie friends. We had a "crowd" like this at Coconuts villa on Gifft Hill every morning. More wildlife videos, please! Thanks - this was great! It has always been one of our favorite things to do in the Caribbean - feeding sugar to our birdie friends.

Nonetheless, the first thing I do when we arrive (after the rum) is buy a big box of sugar. It's the best entertainment around. OK, second best... Sugar makes them hyper!

Great video! We never had THAT many. We did have to chase the sea gulls off one day so that the bananaquits would come enjoy their "crack".

Plain sugar in a bowl is the key, although make sure you clean up the area after a feeding as the spilled sugar attracts ants, bees and other critters. The sound of feeding bananaquits is music to my ears! Boy, can they sing pretty. Great video Russ!
