Holycow! Crowbar and catz freaked out w/sounds!
When we lived in the desert, we had a tangelo tree with a hummingbird feeder in it. A little boy hb we named “Gregory” (short for Gregory the Grouch) used to protect our backyard from all intruders. We had four big dogs, and when they barked at a potential threat, Gregory faced that direction and screeched. He was a great watchbird. After three seasons, we didn’t see him any more, but we still have videos of him. I wonder if that camcorder still works....
My missus got beaned in the head by a hummingbird.
We, apparently, were close to a nest.
So we stayed away from that tree for the rest of the season.
You would hear them in the tree doing their bubbling chirps.
Oddly, they wouldn’t atack the cats.
They would follow them, be real nosey about what the cats were doing.
But never attacked them.
