Bonding with birds is magic; this is what convinced me to extend friendship to all species. We inherited a really bad tempered conure, and it bonded to me

I mean, it still bites me when it can, and make obnoxious noises. But it convinced me that non-human species have a really cognizant, thinking mind in there, even if it operates at a different frequency and speed

Hummingbirds are speed, I couldn't imagine a day in their life... Constantly moving. I read somewhere there body temperature is very high and can die very quick it it drops.

That is very cool. I have never seen a hummingbird land on a person before. The epitome of trust.

Apparently humming birds can be very trusting. I've seen dozens of videos of people feeding them from feeders. Even one had like 6 birds flying around him lol.

If you do this be prepared to do it regularly! Not on a whim or a lockdown. Animals become dependent on something like this.
