When I was young...Loved your story! What a giggle!<br /><br />When I was young, we lived in Colorado - up in the moutains. Our hummer feeder - at the front of the house - was very well visited by at least 6 Rufus hummers (gorgeous, colorful and big), requiring replenishment almost every day. Once, my dad forgot to fill it. The biggest bird, flew all the way around the house and INTO THE KITCHEN. There it hovered in front of my Dad giving him a scolding in quite uncertain terms. My Dad whispered, "I'm terribly sorry, little man. I'll have that out in a minute." The hummer hovered for a few more seconds, making sure the message was received, then flew back out. Dad refilled the feeder with 3 angry hummers watching.<br /><br />Don't tell me they can't think!Jacqueline Simondshttp://www.beaglebay.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627683924033401223.post-20272523637833634372010-07-17T12:12:59.150-07:002010-07-17T12:12:59.150-07:00Xplore greater LA too besides the city limits.Xplore greater LA too besides the city limits.Cafe Pasadenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366911652838118347noreply@blogger.com
