WHISTLER, British Columbia, June 2 (UPI) -- A Canadian costume designer shared video of her latest creation: a flower-and-cup-covered dress designed to feed hummingbirds.

The video, posted by Cary Campbell to her Paintertainment page on Facebook, shows the Whistler, British Columbia, designer's dress surrounded by more than a dozen hummingbirds that periodically feed from the sugar water-filled flowers of the dress.

Campbell said her children branded her a "crazy bird lady" after she started feeding hummingbirds last year and the number making regular visits to her home ballooned from 2 to more than 300.

"Paintertainment's first test run of a strolling hummingbird dress. Not sure how I can bring humming birds to events tho! Any humming bird trainers out there?" she wrote in the Facebook post.
