Tea in the HUMMINGBIRD Sanctuary

A chance to enjoy a private and intimate tea party any time of the year, surrounded by nature’s beauty and in the company of an array of hummingbirds! You’ll be welcomed to a garden shaded with ancient live oaks next to a babbling creek. There is a large established hummingbird population living in the oak trees above all year around. You’ll be seated under these magnificent live oaks and will be surrounded by dozens of hummingbirds (several different species) as you observe them come and go, zooming by your ears, feeding on nearby flowers, chattering, doing incredible aerial acrobatics. They’ve gotten used to people and will go about with their antics undeterred, in your company. These little flying jewels will buzz all around you; they’ll hover inches away so you can both take a closer look at each other. You’ll have a chance to take some great pictures. Tea (Iced tea available in the summer!) and a sweet treat will be served as you observe their acrobatic flight up close and learn all about them!

The garden is home to numerous other bird species; some of which you may encounter. Hawks, jays, finches, robins, juncos, doves, crows, cowbirds, wrens are regulars. Ducks, egrets and blue herons visit occasionally. 

While you’re in the area, visit the Santa Paula punch bowls hiking trail just next door, visit eclectic downtown Ojai, or one of the many Ventura beaches!
