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.

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.

#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)

If you look you can see the hummingbird drinking something. Its a specially designed helmet and he's in an enclosure so he doesn't have to wait for one to find him.

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 :D

PS : #9 The helmet also comes with two bricks. You hold one in each hand .... if a woodpecker shows up...you just clap your hands :D.

Wow, a dork who manages to look even more like a dork wearing a dorky helmet! Just when you thought such a thing was improbable!
