Birds are facinating i've always thought
as they are truly miniature dinosauers in reality....

their eye sight is impecable
combined with unimaginable hearing
they go thru life ever on the alert for predators from above
and below... having insane reactionary reflexes

i had a hummingbird stuck in the green house yesterday
it was flying back and forth then going up to the curved ceiling
at each end thinking i'm trapped , im trapped.... even though the open
door was right there BIG as day... she still couldn't find it...

so i grabbed a HB feeder and hung it in the middle to feed it
so it wouldn't exhaust itself in a panic....

then i stood there very still , saying in body language : i'm no threat....
as it landed on a bit of wire attached to a fan to rest....

i then re-hung the feeder a bit lower than the door opening
and allowed it to find it's freedom.....
