Hummingbird Meaning: Spiritual Messengers and Healers
Hummingbirds are amongst the most spiritual messengers of all. They are my personal favorite and have brought me much healing over the years. I hope that they will do the same for you!
What Do Hummingbirds Mean
The general consensus in the spiritual community is that hummingbirds mean: strength, tenacity and endurance. And these are accurate traits, for sure. But hummingbirds are much more than that.
To watch a hummingbird defend its territory against a bird that is 3 to 5 times larger than it is is incredible to behold. Proof the small things can make a huge impact.
Female hummingbirds can build a nest in record time using the tiniest spiderwebs. A true demonstration of single-mindedness.
My wife once found an injured hummingbird on the ground and its mate got under it and flew it back into a tree. Talk about strength and faithfulness!
To me hummingbirds remind us of unlimited potential. Messengers of hope and love.
Are Hummingbirds A Sign From A Deceased Loved One?
Can hummingbirds be messengers from deceased loved ones? They sure can!
I believe that hummingbirds are amongst the greatest proof of messages from heaven.
Here’s why: did you know that when hummingbirds go to sleep for the night they lower their metabolism down to near death?
The scientific terminology for this is called torpor. Their entire metabolism comes to an almost complete standstill. This allows them to conserve energy and sleep.
The cycle of them going through a vibrant daytime life to a nighttime “near death” and back to life again reminds me that we don’t ever die.
Hummingbirds remind me that our love ones are still alive in spirit although we may not see them physically there very much alive. Love never dies.
Hummingbird Meaning In Dreams
I was recently asked what it means when you see hummingbird in your dream.
If you need to ask what the meaning is, it is not a message.
Trust that your spirit guides and your deceased loved ones can communicate with you clearly and directly. If you do see a hummingbird in a dream you will wake up knowing what it means. You won’t be wondering. The message will be clear.
And as you can see by the comments above hummingbirds can be like a postal worker: the messages they deliver to you can be varied in many ways and yet very clear.
If you fall your spirit guides you won’t need to be googling what the signs mean. You’ll know.
Hummingbirds and Spirit Guides
Ask your spirit guides for help. Your spirit guides were given to you from the moment you take your first breath and will be with you today you take your last breath.
Your spirit guides will help you discern all messages – not just a hummingbird meaning – and will help you to understand what a message is (and what a message is not.)
Please check out my other article on the five signs that your deceased loved ones send you on a regular basis.
Have you experienced a hummingbird message? If so post below! I’d love to read your comments.
Just like my comment yesterday – this is something that flies – so I’m going to keep my distance and admire them from afar. I will say that they are absolutely amazing and fascinating to observe (from about 10 feet away 😉 ) Have a blessed day and thanks for all the info about them as well. May you and Wendy have a blessed and beautiful day.
Hi my name is Lois Pope I took three pictures of the hummingbird eating the food that I had in the hummingbird container in my tree I never seen the hummingbird on neither one of the pictures that I have taken what does that mean
My uncle has been fighting cancer. Tuesday evening after seen my uncle he was breathing like he deep sleep.. Tuesday evening I seen a hummingbird and lightening bug that same day to give me a message that my uncle was going to be ok he was safe no suffering no pain.. and then Wednesday morning he passed was it him or was it a family member coming to see me
Can’t relate to the hummingbirds or the previous butterflies, but another great article and very helpful and informative to those that receive their visits. Thank you, as always, for the concern you show for our understanding.
Blair, I love reading all your messages. They give a warm feeling. Love all your stuff. Can’t wait to see in San Jose Ca in February. Your friend Bonnie
I was sitting on my balcony one morning last week, wondering if Marty was okay, and if he still loved me when all of a sudden, a beautiful hummingbird came to a stop before me, looked at me and then flitted away. I received my answer to my question and felt so much better. It true, “Love Never Dies”.
In Maryland we put our feeders out in early April it’s been a couple weeks not seeing any and this morning I woke up feeling so depressed and worthless, I used all my energy to start my morning routine, turned on the coffee maker and went to the window and opened my blinds and there it was telling me it’s a new day and that’s everything is going to be ok.
Here in Ontario (central) we get few hummingbirds and in late fall and winter there are none. What more is there to look for, for us cold weather folk.? I keep my eyes wide open for something special or significant that indicates something special for just me to be able to receive a message from my husband but I don’t seem to receive anything. However, I do feel him near me so often and especially in the mornings. Sometimes I could swear he’s in the kitchen rattling around!
Blair, I so do enjoy reading your messages. I wonder if my grandson can be my spirit guide.
Thank you
I found a yellow hummingbird dead the next morning I went out side to work an I found another yellow one dead is there any kind of significant meaning behind that?
Blair,
Firstly thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
My last remaining sister passed away this past June.
The day she passed away, I came home from the hospital emotionally exhausted. I was sitting on my front porch when out of nowhere a hummingbird was in directly in front of me. Stopped in mid flight and what seemed like several seconds was staring directly at me. I remember thinking ” in the 10 years I’ve lived in this house, I’ve never seen a hummingbird ” I said okay bye birdie, go away. I looked up about seeing a hummingbird after someone dies. I have NO DOUBT that it was my sister coming to say hello. Oh, by the way, I’ve never seen a hummingbird after that day.
I have a similar story where I went away for about 20 years from my hometown and then I moved back into my grandparents house in 2022. This was after they were deceased. Anyway I was depressed and lonely for a long time and the only people that really loved me throughout my childhood were my grandparents. I have never seen a hummingbird in my life. But on the first day of moving into my grandparents home there was a hummingbird that I saw out the window. As I was moving furniture inside, I was outside and this hummingbird then stopped right in front of me and stared at me for about 20 seconds. I have never seen a hummingbird since. I’m almost certain that it was one of my deceased grandparents. I mean I cannot imagine it can be anything else. I also looked up hummingbird spiritual meeting.
My husband passed away in 2016. A couple of months later, I was sitting in the garage, his favorite place to sit. When a hummingbird flew into the garage and hovered above the chair that he used to sit on. He hovered for a about 30 seconds or more. Just staring at me. I could not move. It finally flew away.
My sweet Dad passed in 2016. I had one visit from him in my dreams that first Thanksgiving. Since then, I have had two hummingbird nests in my yard and had four young birds hatch. 1 survived as a stray cat got one and the other two were destroyed in a bad rain storm. It hardly ever rains in Phoenix, right? Anyway, my Navajo friends tell me that I am very lucky to have them nest in my yard. A Navajo friend explained to me that they believe when a loved one crosses over, they come back as hummingbirds. I have two grown ones that come regularly to my feeders. I was pleased to read your whole article on hummingbirds. I love them.
My Mom passed in September 2017. She had a strong connection to hummingbirds during her life. The week after her passing, 4 guests and myself experienced a hummer flying up to us, looking us in the eye and hovering for a short time. My sister had driven over from Tucson (I’m in the San Diego area) and when she got out of her car, she had one of the experiences. She said to me, “I’ve had a lot of encounters with hummers, but I’ve never had one get up in my face before!” I smiled, and told her that was Mom. We all felt very blessed that she visited each of us in that form.
Blair,
My father passed and on the day I got the news it was storming here at my house and or front in my house we have a fish pond with a waterfall and it was storming so bad you could barely see across the street the rain was just coming down in blankets….. But I went outside anyway to try to breathe from the news I had just received… And when I did my wife tapped me on the shoulder and as I looked at my pond a hummingbird was hovering over my pond….. And when I made eye contact with it ( yeah as crazy as that sounds ) it flew away……I can never express enough how bad it was raining and to know that The hummingbird was still in full fight that day was a message I’ll carry with me forever
Since that day the hummingbird comes by my house every morning and every evening……
And I have always linked that to my father ( for my own inner peace moreso than anything else I’m sure )
Hi Blair. When I was in high school I went to a school leadership retreat in Arkansas. I became really sick, the sickest I’ve ever been in my life. I couldn’t even drink water without throwing up, so I was extremely dehydrated and running a fever. I had to spend the whole time in the cabin while everyone was gone. One day I was alone in the cabin and felt like death, I wanted to get some fresh air, so I summoned all the strength I had and dragged a chair onto the front porch of the cabin (along with a trash can if I needed it). It was pouring rain and I remember being slumped in the chair in my pjs on that porch watching the rain on the lake, everything was really green. I slipped in and out of consciousness, falling asleep a few times. I opened my eyes, and there was a hummingbird hovering 2-3 inches from my face. It felt like it was there for the longest time. To this day I don’t know if it was real or if I was hallucinating, but I’ve always felt like it was a spiritual experience and the bird was there to help me. Hearing that hummingbirds mean, healing, strength, and endurance makes perfect sense with my experience.
I just stumbled across your website today because my 3 year old daughter has had an encounter with a deceased loved one and I’m trying to figure out how to deal with that in the right way, your article on kids who see ghosts was very helpful. I will be subscribing to your email list.
Hi Blair…just finding you for the first time and reading through you info and now blog. First one I came across is your Hummingbird article! Wonderful article and very enlightening! We have a Hummimgbird feeder near our porch and constant Hummingbirds and sparrows feeding off of it. Every once in awhile, one will come closer to us or buzz through where we are sitting. I can actually hear when one is near! We live in California & since the weather is mostly decent all year long, I use our porch as my portable home-office. This allows me to take in the daily sounds and actions of nature around our home…good stuff! I have always known that Hummingbirds represent Joy from my Native American teachings and Animal Medicine cards, so have always welcomed them and their energy into my personal space! If they are a sign from a passed loved one, then there must be quite a few send messages to both myself and my partner! Another part of our Hummingbird story is that the feeder we have was given to us for safe keeping from our 94 year old neighbor,O.J., as she had to move to live with her daughter. She knew my partner would take good care of it and continuously keep it filled with her special recipe of sugar water. Norie (my partner) has done that religiously for 2 years now and we have an abundance of Hummingbirds flocking to it! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us…looking forward to following you…
My young sister passed away suddenly on December 31st. I returned home to plan her funeral and 11 days later, was back in my house completely exhausted and crying. I asked for a sign. A hummingbird flew into the tree in my backyard and didn’t move for 4 days – the entire time I stayed home before returning to work. It stared at me through the window. When it left, I would call for it from inside my house and it would return. I’m not sure if that was my sister, but I felt very comforted.
My Mother passed in 2015. While we were cleaning out her home and were in the garage, two hummingbirds flew in, observed us, and then flew out on several occasions. My brother had passed in 2014 so my take on it was my Mom and brother were checking on me and showing me their love. Now, oftentimes in the Summer if my garage is open, one hummingbird will fly in, observe, and fly out. I just tell whoever is present, “that’s my Mom checking on me”
This morning it is March 31, 2020. I was in this old house we use to live in. I was setting down. Two hummingbirds blew right up to my face. both was nose to nose with me. one left out the room. I believe the other hummingbird turn into a little boy. He had scratch my hand, but he didn’t break the skin. I don’t remember if he said anything or not.
I have loved hummingbirds since a child. I knew there was a higher power just watching how amazing they are. They bring so much joy to me, I never get tired of watching them. I have a great respect for all of God’s animals big and small. Ty Blair for what you do.
My mom passed away on Wednesday and as I sat on my back porch later that day, a hummingbird flew into my view and then flew away. I do not recall seeing humming birds in my back yard much if at all before. A few days later, I saw what I think was the same hummingbird fly into my view, then fly away. I did not have any hummingbird feeders around either. I think it was a sign from my mom letting me know that she made it safely to the other side.
My Mom loved hummingbirds & while in she was in hospice I whispered to her to send me a sign of a hummingbird when she crossed to the other side & I’d know she was ok. A couple hrs later I walked outside to breathe some fresh air. I leaned against the brick wall & looked up to the large tree. What I saw took my breath away. There in the tree sat a hummingbird. It didn’t move & sat very still as I wept uncontrollably knowing that was my sign. I still get emotional thinking about it after 3 yrs. She passed that evening but always wondered if she had already crossed over when the hummer appeared. I do have hummingbird feeders & every once in awhile one will just flutter still at the living room window as if to let me know she is always with me.
❤️❤️
I have had several incidents where I have been in my yard by myself and was startled by a hummingbird just hovering beside me and just sort of looking at me one time I was hanging clothes ( years ago) and several times when I was sitting outside reading I thought it was a very special experience.
Thank you for sharing your articles I really enjoy them
Hi Blair,
I had a dream that I saw a humming bird on the porch of the home I grew up when I was a child. The house burned to the ground several years ago, and there’s no doubt in my mind, in the dream when I saw the humming bird, I was standing by the front door of this house. I had been asking my dad to come see me, and he did. I believe he sent the humming bird to me in that dream.
Thanks so much for opening my eyes to all the messages and for confirming love never dies.
Cathy Lara
Yes!! Hummingbirds are so spiritual. I heard it from you first. A hummingbird hovered around and in front of my face for a long while. It was my birthday and I had a knowing that it was my mom loving me and wishing me a happy Birthday. I live nature. Love you and I read your book years ago.
Thanks for sharing your gifts.
I have humming birds in my kitchen window feeder outside one time I was washing dishes and I looked down to clean them and looked up and the humming bird was starring at me eye to eye it was the most weird beautiful thing . My brother passed almost two years ago and one of the humming birds that sticks around has orange on him and that was my brothers favorite color so I always feel like my brothers watching over me.
Hello Blair. My mom passed away on Thanksgiving day 2012. That night my family gathered around a firebox and began sharing memories of mom. It was a chilly night so my sister grabbed my moms jacket to wear. Soon after she began batting around at something flying at her and what seemed to be trying to get into the jacket. Flashlights revealed it was a hummingbird! We all just started crying. ( My mom LOVED them so much that she named them when they came to her feeders. ) It quickly flew away. The morning after my moms funeral, my sister, my husband and myself went to the gravesite. A baby hummingbird started flying around all of us, jetting back and forth between us and then landed in my sister’s cupped hands. We took pictures to show everyone that mom paid us a visit to let us know she is just fine! To this day, every time we are shopping and see a hummingbird product, we buy it! It’s our sign our mom is still with us!
I see them all the time. There were 3 times in particular that stand out. Once I was on the second floor of a courthouse, no trees, staring out a window making a decision about my divorce and a hummingbird suspended directly in my line of vision. The second, I was talking to a friend who suddenly started givinme a message from my father, he did not know anything about my family or life and I didn’t even know yet if my father was alive or dead. (That friend was diagnosed schizophrenia and would not Medicare and killed himself) a humbled passed my face 3 times and suspended in front of me. My friend was telling me that my father loves me and is watching me. The 3rd I was walking through the courtyard of my building and saw a hummingbirds tummy glowing (that is a thing but it was still interesting I saw it)
My stepmother who passed away 2 1/2 years ago from cancer loved hummingbirds and routinely kept her hummingbird feeders filled with sugar water. I had a visitation dream from her where she was lying in bed and I hugged her and felt her love long after I woke up. I had spent time with her in hospice before she passed and we told her we would keep feeding the hummingbirds. Well the next day in my living room I looked out my picture window and a hummingbird was hovering right near the window looking at me for a few seconds before flying away. I said “hi Ari” (my stepmother’s name) and knew it was a sign from her. This article just confirms that, thank you.
If I am sitting on my patio once or twice a week e a hummingbird will come up and flutter right in front of me I have a feeling that’s my deceased husband he loved hummingbirds and there is no hummingbird feeder close by
As of this day My Mom is near death. It started 3 days ago when I started seeing the little hummingbird at the feeder, and letting me know it didn’t like ants. Then the bad news, so I asked for a sign low and behold the hummingbird swirling around my head. Next day again only I asked if my grandma was ok and appears 2 hummingbirds, so with all this going on definitely not sure what to think on my way to see my mom I ask ok can you please show my cousin her dad is ok well I got home and seen the 2 decided to ask my cousin if she seen a hummingbird, no longer got off the phone and I see a different one at the feeder. My mom came home and I seen none all day, but today this morning I see 1 but yet a completely different one. I don’t know what to think about this but I believe they are all surrounding her to help her. They are amazing and this is the short version of my experience. Truly incredible. Feeling Blessed thank you for reading my story
My husband passed away three months ago, this morning a hummingbird came in my condo and was sitting on my husband chair. He let me pick him up and put him outside.
After diffusing an escalating situation I left. I began watering my garden with the trouble I had just dealt with heavy on my mind. One beautiful hummingbird came and flew all around me and the plants I was watering….the little bird even got caught in the water stream and got dunked, but he was okay and flew off into the trees. The little bird made me happier.
A hummingbid almost flew right into my face as I walked out my back door. I sat down in a chair and he continued to flutter near the left side of my face. After a while he landed on a tree limb and stared at me for a good minute and then gave me a wonderful message for my best friend. Her dad died just 2 days ago.
Hello! Thank you for the much needed info on hummingbirds… I had a near fatal motorcycle in 2013. When I was starting to recover and learning how to walk again I would go outdoors to practice walking and one day a hummingbird came to sit rt next to me and sat on the bush that was arms length from me. It sat there until it flew away. Ever since my accident hummingbirds have now always shown up to me! I LOVE them!! So last I went to throw my trash away and left my door open! A hummingbird flew in while I was out. I tried to catch it to release it but it wouldn’t let me. It perched high up next to ceiling on a vase. This morning I went to look for it and it had passed away… I’ve known for a long time that hummingbirds are my messengers and I’m in the process of learning to call on my spirit guides but I’m not sure about this one. I also want to know if there is spiritual ritual for burrying it… please help…
Recently, my brother and I took my youngest son up to the mountains to walk a trail. After our walk, near the beggining of the trail we sat on a bench while my son played in the creek. At one point we were silent just enjoying the nature. A hummingbird appeared out of no where. I was looking the other way and heard a motor fluttering noise. I turned to be face to face with this beautiful hummingbird. He, or she was looking at me and hovered very close to my face for quite awhile. I had my glasses on, which I use to see far away. When I need to see up close, I have to take them off. I was having a hard time focusing on the humming bird as it was so so close and I didn’t have time to take off my glasses.. It eventually flew away. It was incredible! I’ve seen hummingbirds on feeders before. But have never had a hummingbird float 6 inches from ny face looking at me. It floated by my face looking at me for quit awhile. A bit of time passed and I heard it’s wings again. But the second time, I just heard it behind me. From the sound, I think it was again very close to me. I’m not sure what it means, but was incredible!
I have about 4 hummingbirds that live in the trees behind my property. They’re around all the time. They play on my sprinklers and tease my dogs. Over the last few years I’ve added more and more flowering plants, bushes and trees to my yard. I have bees, hummingbirds, tree frogs (everywhere right now, it’s hatching season), 2 cats, 2 dogs and a leopard gecko…and 4 sons. Yet these birds don’t hide or avoid us. I’ve always had hummingbirds around where ever I’ve lived. Then today, I was out in the deck reading and one of them flys over right In front of me and hangs there making these noises, humming I suppose as they do, but loud, and with different speeds and sounds she moves a foot to the right, hangs there again “talking”, then left again, then a little closer. I was afraid to move, I didn’t want to scare her, I could see all her colors. None of them have ever done that before. Then she flew away. My siberian husky, I then noticed, had been just to my right about three feet away, also frozen in place watching her. This was deliberate, she clearly meant to get my attention, it felt like someone was looking at me and talking to me. Intentional. Grays, shimmering blues and greens, she looked right at me. Amazing.
I was sitting outside this morning and something flew by my head. I turned to face forward and I was stairing eye to eye with a Hummingbird he was 6 inches away from my eyes he didn’t scare he then tweeted and flew away
My son passed just two weeks ago. Since right after I have seen just one humming bird flying around our back porch, where mom and dad sit
One day a humming bird landed completely healthy in my hand and I have the picture. He let me pet him. And when I went to sho him out the window we wouldn’t go,so I took a picture. My brother and other half died 3 years before that and I began to use drugs and near death decided to fly to California for 5 star treatment and after 60 days I went to the halfway house and that’s where it happened. I believe it was Damien,my brother, healing me and telling me he’s proud of me and I’m on the right path. It was truly amazing, how often does a hummingbird just land in your hand and not leave?
With limited visitation during Covid, one of my sisters and I left our other siblings at the hospital with mom. I came home and stood at the back door, and there she was. A female hummingbird. And then I got the call, mom has passed.
She came to see me again before the visitation.
It brings me some peace and I hope to see her again.
I found a yellow hummingbird dead the next morning I went out side to work an I found another yellow one dead is there any kind of significant meaning behind that?
My mother died in 2016. As we stood at her gravesite, & the pastor was saying a prayer, a hummingbird came down & went to each flower on top of her casket. We all gasped. A couple days later after I had returned home, I was at the kitchen sink, & a hummingbird got right in front of the window & hovered there. I watched it, & finally said to my husband, “there’s a hummingbird looking at me. ” It stayed so long, that I said, “it’s still there!”. Then, all of a sudden, the mate swooped in beside it! Just as if my mother was there & joined by my father, saying “we’re together”.. I finally said out loud, “I see you”. And they flew away…. I will never forget it.
Sitting on my outside deck, Hummingbird appeared right in front of me, stared at me for about 4 seconds, then flew away. My husband died unexpectedly four years ago and his anniversary date us in a few days. Would love to know what this means?
Barb
Hi Barb,
I believe it was your husband saying he is with you. Not to be sad. He is ok and you are not alone.
I had a Black hummingbird under my carport 4ish am while taking my dog for a walk before work, it buzzed past my ear and when. Came back from taking my dog out it was still flying around, it was an angel or spirit right? Since hummingbirds are not out at that time, any responses will be appreciated, thank you

Yes I saw one this morning and I was a lil scared how close it got but now that I’m reading the meaning I’m happy !!!
My mother passed and n July 13 2020. A humming bird fell beside me 3 tymes before finally making the feeder he was out of breath and tired he drank rested and flew off was this my mama angle letting me know
I had a Humming bird land on my finger. It was amazing. My father said he would always be with me.
I was sitting with a cap of tea on my Balcony/ made into a garden then I was thinking about my mum and the people who have died, while ago and not so long ago. Then the sun shines down on me and along comes that look like a moth. I thought if I stand up to take a picture you may fly away. I stood up slowly and took a picture and I thinking I felt a little scared as it flew around me, then I thought don’t be scared this is magical. After a min or so it flew away and the sun went it. I looked back at the picture and zoomed in and it looked like something from a magical film/ cartoon. I was so happy and needed to know what it was. I love Butterflies and moths and it was all of them things put together and also looked like a little bird. I looked it up and thought, Hummingbird, wow! First time ever seem and so close. When the Hummingbird was around the Pansys and taking the nectar I guess I just felt so tearful. After all of this special moment I felt like I had a ring of protection put about me.
I felt my deceased Aunt around me all the time. One night it was so strong that I asked her to send me a sign that it is her and I’m not imagining it. Instantly something was knocking on my bedroom window. I opened the blinds and it was a humming bird. I ran outside and the bird flew all around me, especially my face. I talked to the bird knowing my aunt sent it to me. All of this happened at 1:30 in the morning too. She still is around me and once grabbed my shoulder. I said please, no touching and she grabbed my other shoulder, lol. Her personality showing, but I asked again, no touching please . She is still visiting but no touches anymore, thank you Aunt Rie!
A hummingbird came into my house today. I spent over 5 minutes helping it find its way back outside but in that time it landed on me numerous times and interacted with me in the most magical way. My dad passed away in February this year, and I believe this was him stopping in to say hello.
Good morning,
I have had a hummingbird sit or perch within 3 feet of me. It will sit there for a couple minutes then flies back to food. I believe this is the same bird that talks to me every morning while eating and fluttering about. Why was this hummingbird not afraid of me and sat down close by? (she sat by me twice)
What happens if it dies in your dream cause of someone you know
On December 26rh 2020, my families beloved 7 year German Shepard name Chief suddenly and unexpectedly died while enjoying his favorite past time of playing ball with me. He was the most loyal pet we ever had and his unconditionally love was unmatched. He was more then just our pet, he was part of our family and we all loved him as much as anyone else in the family. His sudden death was a shock to us all, and it happened while he was at the vet. Because of covid-19 we were not allowed in the examination room. Sadly he passed without any of his family near his side. That has left us grief stricken and wondering if he knew how much he was loved by all of us. This morning my wife and son were in the backyard where Chief and I was playing ball the day before. While they were in the backyard a hummingbird approached them, stooped, and hovered for about 5 seconds less then 2 feet from their faces. The hummingbird looked at my wife for a couple of seconds, and then turned his head and looked at my son for a couple of seconds before flying away. I thought this was odd because of how close he came to my wife and son. It is winter here and there is nothing blooming in our yard, so we believe this was a sign from Chief saying his final goodbye. We love you Chief and miss you terribly.
We lost our loving and loyal German Shepherd yesterday. His heart just gave out. This morning, I went outside with my son, remembering our sweet boy when a hummingbird swooped right past us. I turn around, it had stopped and flew right next to us, mid air looking back and forth at me and my son then it flew away so fast I couldn’t see where it went. I needed that, we both did as I believed it was our boy telling us goodbye and he was ok. We were in the back yard where he loved to play and passed away in.
My furbaby passed away on the 23/01/21. I was so sad beyond words and could not function. I wanted to die too. Everything I see in my home is him. I was devastated ,did not go to work at all. But on Wednesday late morning I was looking out my window suddenly I realized they was a hummingbird filling just in between my window. I live on the 20th floor…it was chirping to get my attention…He flew away when I realized and flew to my kitchen and disappeared. There and then I know it was him because we always feed birds wherever we are. My fur baby was 19 yrs old and he passed away in my arms.
I was driving home after my Mothers funeral and I stopped to take a break . I was in the mountains of Montana and I was sitting on a large rock taking in the beautiful views . A tiny hummingbird flew right next to me and just hovered close to my face . It flew around me , not the least bit afraid . A feeling rushed over me of relief and I knew my Mom was saying goodbye . I just felt it was her .
We have 2 resent humming birds , today one was dead and the other one is still standing guard , should I remove the dead bird , worried that the live one will not make it through the night , it’s cold , the feeded hasn’t froze but nights are cold
Hello,
My Dad passed away Dec. 2020. Weeks after his passing I noticed a hummingbird out in my back yard. It is interesting because not only had I not ever seen this beautiful Birdy, it would come when I was out side around the same time everyday. I would take my 15 min break or my lunch outside and it would be there or show up mins after I was outside. I knew it was a spiritual message. You see, I always ask my dad to show me he is with me. I some how started walking out side to see if the hummingbird would show up. One morning around 6am, I would up and had my morning talks with my Dad.. I then asked him to please show me he is near. As I was opening all my blinds there he was, my beautiful spiritual message. Humming away. I couldn’t help but cry tears of joy. I know he was showing up as he always did even in life.
For anyone that has experience this feeling, you are not alone. I grieve with you and our loved once are with us as well.
Ahhh! So my cat who I was extremely close to just passed away unexpectedly on New Year’s Eve. I’ve been heart broken and struggling to make sense of his death. I even got a portrait of him and his paw print tattooed on my forearm that’s how much he meant to me! I always promised him we would move out of California to a bigger and better home that he can run around
And play in. I just moved to a new house last weekend in Las Vegas and have found myself talking to Louie a lot. His urn and everything sits next to my bed on its own shelf. A couple weeks ago I’ve been talking to him a lot since the recent move. I cried and said Louie please send me something to let me know your okay that your with me! I picked up the keys to this new home last Saturday and as soon as I walked in I passed an atrium and immediately a hummingbird flew at the glass as I was looking out. I have a thing for hummingbirds since my grandparents passed. I drove to the other home and grabbed a humming bird feeder from the backyard and hung it in the atrium. Today I went out there and there’s now a hummingbird making a nest on the light fixture. As I was taking a pic it started flying around me. I believe this to be a sign was my Louie Vuitton
My mother passed in 2019 and today on her birthday June 4 I saw a hummingbird on the front of my porch near my shade tree . I believe it was a message from her that her spirit is around me . Loved it and made me cry .
I don’t see many in my yard. Can’t think of a time I EVER did really. We had to put our 13 year old dog down on Saturday and we were devastated. Soon After coming home from the vet, a hummingbird came to one of our big living room windows and a little bit later was at the other living room window where my dogs bed used to lay. I hope it was a sign that she is not mad at us and is happy and pain free now. Or maybe I’m crazy and grasping♀️
My boyfriend and I both came from families where we believed hummingbirds were once our loved ones. My grandparents lost their youngest daughter (my aunt when she was 16). They live in the same house to this day, and they noticed the presence of a hummingbird increase significantly after her passing. They mark on their calendar everytime the hummingbird visits, which has came out to nearly everyday, even through the winter. Our theory was confirmed, when my grandfather (on the other side of my family) passed at home on a cold October day. My father was sitting on the couch mourning his loss minutes after he passed, and a hummingbird flew up to the sliding glass door infront of him (he was inside the house) and hovered for a few moments while looking at him. My dad was also present for the death of my aunt. I recently moved to a new house, hours away from either of these locations, and immediately bought a hummingbird feeder. Within hours of hanging it up, I have a humming bird that will come visit me on my deck, even when I am sitting directly beneath the feeder (it’s maybe a foot above my head). Love never dies.
I have just lost my beloved dog Tucker. We had placed him in a box and took him outside and set for a moment before taking him back up to the vet office for cremation. As I sat there crying with my daughter, a hummingbird flew over and hovered above his box for a moment and then took off. And I just feel in my heart that it means something and I’m not sure what
My father in law Passed away and at his service a little bird sat at the window trying to get in the whole time. Then this morning i woke up to a hummingbird in the house got it out and then somehow it was back again. I’m trying to figure out my message i believe it’s a message tho.
I was leaving to go to work,opened the front door and there was the hummingbird. My husband passed away last July. I miss and love him every day.
My dear sister passed away quite suddenly from a rare form of cancer just a month ago. It was very shocking and emotionally draining. Her beloved husband passed away a few years back and she had asked him before he passed, to leave her a sign of the Red Cardinal to let her know that he was fine and in the spirit world. A few weeks after he passed, a Cardinal showed up on the edge of her fence, just a few feet away, and just stared at her for 2 or 3 minutes, she stared back and just knew in her heart that it was her husband coming to her through the Cardinal to let her know that he was there in spirit and was okay.
When she was dying in hospice, I was holding onto her hand and whispered to her, “you had the Cardinal as a sign with Wayne, but we don’t have Cardinals out in Western Canada, so what bird/sign can you give me to let me know you made it okay?. She just looked into my eyes, unable to speak, but I could tell she was thinking about it….I let it go and just whispered lovingly, “I guess I will figure it out” I have been looking for signs since she left, I have seen butterflies, a few birds, but nothing that was making a “connection”. A few days ago, on a very rainy morning around 6:00 a.m, something in my mind was nudging me to go and open my bedroom curtains, something I would never do until later on in the day, and lo and behold, there was a hummingbird flitting around happily in the rain, just flitting back and forth everywhere and then it came really close to the open window where I was standing and with its wings flitting a mile a minute in the rain, it just stared at me. I KNEW it was my sister finally making the connection that she was OKAY, she was “dancing in the rain”! She loved the rain, she loved birds and animals of all kinds, and now I know this is the bird she chose to connect with me. It was a very spiritual moment of connecting with this beautiful hummingbird and of knowing that she was letting me know that she had arrived safe and sound!
My Father died at 103 years old without being able to say goodbye to my Wife or myself. I know he loved us dearly and I felt incredibly guilty for not being there. We live by the beach with a clear view of the ocean; we see all the natural wildlife and never do we see hummingbirds. The next morning after his death I woke up with incredible heartache over his death. My Wife opened up the curtains and there directly in front of use were two hummingbirds looking straight at us, they stayed for 35 seconds in the same place looking inside the room at us, they flew away and then returned for a minute or more. I looked down below to see if they had found something to eat or drink but no! It was obvious that they were there to sooth my pain. It was a definite sign from my Father that he was ok and that I should move on with my life.
My dad died this summer. I asked for a sign that he is with me. A few days later I was sitting on my porch and three hummingbirds came within a foot of me and made all kinds of little noises. A day later I stepped out my front door and one hovered near me for a few seconds. This is how I know it’s a sign of my dad.
My sister passed away from Cancer 2 and half years ago, she was only 50, we Celebrated her Birthday today at her graveside with flowers, balloons a lantern, her two daughters Alyssa and Meghan.
My other sister was very close to her, we can home and were standing in the kitchen with my nephew, a hummingbird came right up to our patio door for a few seconds.
I just lost my partner and best friend on Aug 20th, 2021. I woke up at 530am and found him with no vitals in his chair in the living room. After the EMS tried to receive him, he was pronounced dead around 620am. I was on the balcony and a hummingbird flew right to me and stayed for at least 5 to 10 seconds before he left. I want to believe that was my Rob saying he was still here.
I’m a very here’s a person I’m a witch it has passed down to my daughter which in some aspects she understands and she has been learning more recently she is going to be 15 October 3rd she just walked in the house and I was in total shock, she said mom you’ll never believe what happened to me, I was walking down the street and all the sudden there was a hundred of hummingbirds flying All Around Me Above Me beside me everywhere I thought I was in a movie I’ve never seen this many birds in my life I couldn’t believe it. So of course I started asking a bunch of questions where were you at what were your round what were you feeling or thinking just everything and I don’t know why this happened to her just now. A little background on her she went through her if it trauma which made her suppressed years of memories which just within the past 2 years started coming back to her, it was absolutely horrible horrible what she had went through when she’s hard to remember in the first year she’s come a long way she has friends she goes to school ghost places in and socializes I know that she has been struggling lately mentally and I know the jest meaning of a hummingbird but I feel so deeply that there’s more to it than that what are your thoughts.
I’m so sorry. I did not proof read that. I was talk to texting
What does it mean when you hold a humming bird
My 10.5 year old dog Fiona was diagnosed with cancer and I severe pain. I made the decision to euthanize her and put her out of her pain. A few hours later my sister and I were eating lunch in my kitchen when she noticed a beautiful red hummingbird. She didn’t make a big deal of it to me because she thought he must come to the window all the time. When I saw it I knew it was a sign from my Fiona. I have never seen a hummingbird at my kitchen window and I’m sure I never will again. It was definitely a sign that she is okay
a couple days ago, i was sleeping/half awake, to be honest i couldn’t tell. but i saw a hummingbird fluttering really close to my face. i panicked and if i wasn’t awake when i saw it, i definitely was afterwards. my dog was also sleeping in the bed with me and he looked at me all weird when i freaked out lol. i’ve never had anything like that happen to me before.
Is crazy, My 11 old dog died last August, he was my first dog and he kept me safe all the years i was living on my own, I told my mom in law “I wish Zeuz would send me a hummingbird so I know he is ok” and that afternoon after i came home from the store A hummingbird was flying static in the middle of the patio, I watch it for like 1 minite and he went to the back of my house where my dog used to go pee and poop I miss my fur baby so much
Here I am sitting on the back patio with my head tilted back soaking up the sun my eyes are closed and I feel a vibration next to my left ear, a hummingbird lands on my shoulder. yes he only sits there for maybe 5 to 10 seconds and then flutters away, but I feel as though this is a message, a symbolism or an ancestor trying to speak to me… I Google symbolism of hummingbirds and I can’t get a definite answer whether or not this is a special moment… anyone have any comments
I was at my parents house yesterday cleaning up the mess that was left behind by some people that tried to take over. As my sister and I stood in the back yard. A hummingbird came and was looking at everything we did. It even came very close to me and look at me, then went to the back door and looked inside the house. I believe it was my mom who came to see what we did.
My mother died 3 weeks ago. I purchased her an urn with a picture of a hummingbird and a flower. About 10 days after she passed my husband said there was a hummingbird stuck in our screen by our porch. It got itself out and then got stuck again. The following day I walked into the garage and there was a loud buzzing and there was another hummingbird rapping at the window. It later flew out the open door. The next day my husband said the hummingbird was back stuck in the patio screen again. He got out and flew away. Not doing the meaning of hummingbirds it took me till the 4th day till I realized it was a sign for my mother.
Today is the anniversary of my boyfriend’s death. It was an untimely passing and I was guilt ridden and struggle with what if’s every year at this time. A few days ago I saw a hummingbird in my garage and she wouldn’t stop circling me. It caught my attention but I had forgotten about it until this afternoon. She was back! She circled me once again and then flew up to a wire where I saw she had built a nest! When he first died, a hummingbird suddenly flew into my office and it’s took 3 janitors and an hour to free her. I have no question he’s reminding me he’s still with me and he is happy. I also feel this is a sign of rebirth, or his way of reminding me we never really die and the baby birds are my proof.
Humming Birds Find Me And Hover Right Over My Head, Always. The sound Of Their Wings Is So Loud!
What Is The Spiritual Meaning Of This?
-Frankie
This evening my husband and I were on our glider on our porch and a hummingbird came right at us and almost in our faces and hovered for a minute. I remembered that today is/was my sister’s birthday. I am not much of a believer but did this really mean something? I hope so!! My sister died in 2014 and I have been thinking a lot about her lately.
A few days after my Mom passed my stepson found one in our garage. It wasn’t in good shape. It flew out of the garage and landed right where I was sitting on the grassy hill. Right away I had him go get a tiny bowl with sugar water and fed it. I actually have pics! After 10 minutes or so it stood up…looked at me and flee up into the pine tree! I have always believed it was my Mom letting me know she wS ok!
I just lost the one I love may 3rd.an had hospice at the house an. A feeder on the patio i talk to one of the hummingbirds…
After hiking in one of my favorite spots in Sedona I was walking the path back to my car and a hummingbird actually hovered in front of my face for maybe 30 seconds. It was stunning and such an amazing moment. Not sure who came to visit, but it was such a comforting feeling
Hello my name is Timarrah my birthday was yesterday 07/07. I had just called my dad today while I’m sitting on my balcony and a hummingbird literally comes close to me and I’m telling my dad it’s getting closer and closer and it went above my head then flew away. I felt a wave of calmness. I was just talking aloud before all of this, thanking my God for everything and for my life and my loved ones. I truly feel thankful and blessed and then i thought to call my dad and that happened.
After my morning meditation this morning, sitting on my deck, a hummingbird came to me and flew all around me. It was with me for what seemed like several minutes but I am sure not that long. The bird looked me directly in the eye. I felt so very blessed.
I lost my best friend.He died on the 9th. I’ve been seeing hummingbirds, Cardinals, and a black bird with a red chest. I looked at the hummingbird and turned my head as I wasn’t looking. I looked back and it did the same. I did this three times and so did this tiny hummingbird. I wanna believe it was visit saying I’m here it’s okay”” maybe it’s wishful thinking or just maybe it was a visit to wish me a hello. I’m going to believe it was a visit.
At my grandsons graveside military service a hummingbird flew around and stopped on a flower arrangement, my niece asked me after the service if I saw the hummingbird flying around the flowers? I told her I did and what an unusual thing it was , she said she thought it was Zack letting us know he was ok
A black hummingbird with green and purple around it’s eye dropped down from a tree about 5 feet over my dog then zoomed up right to my face and moved back about a foot away eye level and just hovered there with it’s right side facing my face and made direct eye contact with me for awhile then slowly hovered straight up along tree height it went so far up straight I couldn’t see it? I’ve never had a hummingbird experience except cleaning for my neighbor once
Their were 5 hummingbirds outside window while I washed dishes,but she had several feeders hanging there. This was different it zeroed in on my eye with it’s eye???????
I lost my precious yorkie, Sky, 2.7.22. April 2022, I was walking in my driveway, a Hummingbird flew by brushing my hair. This happened twice before I could get in the house and make nectar. Every year I feed the Hummingbirds, so I thought nothing of it. I figured she was saying…feed me now! I did not think of her being Sky! On Skys birthday 6.5.22, there was a cloud that looked like her running. Yesterday, 10.2.22 a Hummingbird landed on the rug at my front door. The way she was poised and held her head…I knew it was Sky. First I was afraid she was injured. But, no thank goodness she was fine. She is the most beautiful female Hummingbird I have ever seen. Sky was beautiful. This is when I knew the Hummingbird that brushed my hair in April was Sky. I miss her so much. It’s such a good feeling for her to come visit. There are other signs that Sky visits. The Hummingbirds have always been special. Sky loved to watch them. Now, they are more precious than ever. Sky will never be forgotten.
I stumbled onto your site…of course, there are no accidents. Thank You
Good morning, I just lost my grandma last night after being with her for three days. I woke up this morning, struggling and hurting because I miss her very much. I look out the window and there’s a hummingbird sitting on the rail on our deck just sitting there, it flies away comes back and just sits there again I did this three times. I do believe that this is my grandma telling me that she is OK that I’m gonna be OK.
My father been adopted but the parents never told him where he is from or their parents he is dead now but I still want to know who was his parent ! Is there any chance to find out is there any hope for us to know ?we are Armenian they adopted him around after 1915 the genocide time when Turks killed one and half million Armenian people!
my husband past we both love hummingbirds, after he passed a hummingbird came into our house and sat down on my husband’s chair, I picked it up and put it outside.
The day my son passed away i seen a hummingbird fly into one of my windchill, then circle over my head. After that it flew away. I had never seen a hummingbird in my area before. So I believe that was my son, sending me a message.
On the sixteenth anniversary of my Papa’s passing, a hummingbird visited my parents (my mom is his daughter). The bird came and drank out of a bottle cap held in their hands! It came back several times throughout the day. When I was 12, I drew a picture of a robin as a birthday present for my Papa. He framed it and hung it up in his dining room and would always show people who came over. I think that birds represent a special connection with him.
My grandmother passed away and about 1.4hrs after she passed away my mom (her daughter) and I were sitting on her porch and all of a sudden a beautiful hummingbird flew directly in front of us and stayed long enough for me to admire it’s beauty and once it flew away I told my mom that I believed that was my grandma telling us she was ok. That was the first thing that popped in my head…

My 53 year old dad fought a 4 year long battle with stage 4 colon cancer. During his last 2 weeks of life on earth, we decided together that if Jesus allows him to visit, he’d show me by using a hummingbird. He’s visited me numerous times now and I have NO DOUBT in my mind when it’s him. Tonight, a hummingbird was trying to get my attention while I was in my living room. I walked outside and said “hi dad!!” (Happily). It flew in a way for me to follow it. It stopped on the other side of the yard for me to meet it there. I was no more than 3 feet away from it and it just looked at me as I talked to it (speaking to my dad and updating him about my life. I was holding me baby, his grandchild, updating her new milestones). He adored her. It flew away when I finished everything I wanted to share. I checked our security cameras and it turned out I talked to that hummingbird for 10 minutes straight!!! I couldn’t believe it. It was 100% my dad and my soul needed that refreshing moment with him SO bad. It gave me so much peace.

This JUST happened!
I just walked outside to get the mail. There was a hummingbird on the hanging basket by our front door. I have never seen a hummingbird on that basket in 34 years!
When I walked out onto the porch, he flew over to the three other hanging baskets on our porch. Then he flew over to a tree that’s in our front yard .. this tree is 15 feet from the front of the house. He just sat on one of the branches.
So when I came back up the walk from the mailbox, I stood and looked at the him and I quietly said .. “Hello Tim. I miss you so much!” (Tim is my husband who died suddenly in our home from a heart attack in June of this year).
And I’m not kidding you .. that bird flew right to me and came right past my shoulder and landed on one of hanging baskets.
After a cple seconds, he flew back toward me right past me again, and then flew around the corner of the house.
Hummingbirds just don’t do that.
I believe my husband is right here with me!
Our son is having some issues with tremors,slow movements when eating & stutering. He had a dream that he died & turned into a hummingbird… he was flying down to his funeral & his three children didn’t realize it was him. His oldest daughter knew it was him. The next day when he was at work & was outside his restaurant a hummingbird fluttered in front of him. This dream really made him emotional. I would like to have your opinion on the meaning of this dream
