Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

He looks like a hawk or eagle in the last one! Very stern expression!

It’s one of those “who stole my cornflakes?” Expressions!

Yes! He's the one who had a perfectly round barn owl face as a baby. I just love americana mixes, they look like hawks!

I'm surprised there isn't more fighting - what with so many different Hummers using the same feeder. They are amazing fliers, aren't they! Bet our Air Force would love to have a plane that could maneuver & hover like them!

I was shocked by the sharing of the feeder too. Everything before that was more what I usually see.

Flight capability: another type of flying machine would be based upon bees and their flight capabilities vs cargo hauling vs distance for their size. Only down side: they can't fly in rain.

I love hummingbirds. I used to stand at my grandmother's feeder with my finger under it. They became so used to me, that they would actually perch. That was close to 50 years ago. Crazy how time flies.
Bees can move their wings 200-300 times per second.
I was watching mine jet out and fly back into their hive and was so mesmerized that I decided to take a slow motion video of them.

Aww, I love fluffy baby butts...

I’m kinda partial to Hummers myself. They look great out in the garden. They come so close, it almost fills me with anxiety.

I could just throttle these two this gives me more work to do fixing things. Sheesh!

And those door sitters have figured out how to get up on the door - Tippy, Mr LC and Buttercup.

Good point! Probably they'll work out something in the future
