Will Wild Birds Let You Come Near Them. If there are no birds at your feeder, it is likely due to. In fact, they do not like any other bird near their source of food (flowers or sugar water from the feeder) and will fly straight at them, running into them at full speed.

I doubt that hummingbirds do. To protect yourself and others, you should always avoid dead birds. Maybe it hoped you'd put out a bowl of water?
