Amazing!!!
What a lovely gentleman!
God bless all three!
I enjoy hummingbirds...they seem to be interested in people. We hung a feeder outside our kitchen window, and sometimes the bird flies over, and instead of eating, just hovers there looking in at us as we wash the dishes...
Our family’s three dogs were sniffing something on the ground. Turned out to be a newborn squirrel - the size of a peanut!
I raised it on baby formula with an eye dropper. He grew to a full size adult and we released him. He would hang around the windows and doors to check on us;)
Wow! That’s a great story.
Thanks for the ray of sunshine to begin this day.
We’ve 1/2 dozen feeders out for our little friends. Such a joy to watch them flutter about. Unfortunately, they’re thinning in number now, “Flying Down to Rio”.
:-)
I was getting ready to ping you to this. Beautiful story, isn’t it?:-)
Gives the term “Bird brain” a whole new meaning:)
Fascinating. Looks like a female Allen’s Hummingbird.
Yep. Birds are quite smart. I guess brain size isn’t an important as we humans thought.
Awesome story!
We had our first hummingbird this year. I happen to catch her out of the corner of my eye one day as she flew away then put up a feeder and sure enough she was still around and learn to use it
She left around April 15 hopefully to breed and we are hoping she will come back with her babies
I tried to delicately return it to the nest, but the same adult male cardinal that had been fighting off the cat, clearly did not want it back.
I took it back home, made a little nest out of spare dogfood bowl filled with dryer lint and fed it some canned pear chunks. This was in the autumn, and I had a small waist-high smoker grill I had brought inside and was keeping near my front door. I put the "nest" on top of it. Long story short, the little bird appeared to be improving for a few days, and had a very healthy appetite. It would chirp every morning when the sun came up and I would feed it. After 3-4 days; however, I came home at lunch one day and it had died in the nest.
The curiously sweet thing is that during those days that the little cardinal was living, Ranger had curled up at the base of the grill keeping guard, and never left there, even to feed himself.
Sweet stories about animals makes one want to become a vegetarian!!!!!
A man, a dog and a hummingbird.... walked into a bar................
...and the hummingbird yelled, “Hey guys, wait for me! Can’t you see how short my legs are ?!’
LOL
Thought of pinging you as well
:-)
Second thought: nope, you would surely find it.
I (at times notoriously lost) found it, and for you, finding it would be a piece of cake.
:-O
Indeed, a beautiful story. Society could use more of these,
in times like this.
>>>A Man, a Dog, and a Hummingbird!<<<
Correcting the title . . . Two queens, 1 dog, and a Hummingbird
I found out the other day that hummingbirds will come to your feeder in the middle of a hurricane.
