#1 No shit Sherlock.. Did you figure that one out on your own?

Way to be an ass #2
#1 That's true but it would still be pretty awesome. Anyway, hummingbirds have been known to fly up to people who wear vibrant colors. So it might not take that long actually.

when i was in dominican republic, i was wearing bright yellow, a hummingbird passed me really close several times, so i think you could be right #3

#3 I was just agreeing with him. 
There's (obviously) no point in buying this helmet if you're going to wear it on the North Pole (unless the helmet comes with a Hummingbird)

I have a lot of Ruby Throated Hummers from spring till fall visiting my feeders and have had them hover over a colorful glass in my hand while I was sitting on the back deck. It takes no time at all for these fast little feathered jewels to locate a place to get a free meal. Their eyesight is incredible.

Yes, there is a tube in the center containing sweet liquid.
If you mount the mask on a sitting dummy for a while, the birds will find it and visit it regularly.
then , all you have to do is change places with the dummy.
Not sure what you mean by an enclosure. It looks like he is sitting against the outside wall of a building or in an open garage.
Actually it shows here how to do it - no dummy needed:

you can tell he was sitting there for quite some time... he was bald when he put the helmet on 
PS : #10 The helmet also comes with two bricks. You hold one in each hand .... if a woodpecker shows up...you just clap your hands .

cool how the wing beats / video framerate make the wings look slower, almost regular bird-like!

I don't think this is quiet as good as it sounds. If you put on your helmet and go sitting somewhere. You will probably have to sit there for quiet a while before you see any hummingbird hovering in front of you.
