Stray Incident

I was beginning to think that hummingbird policy had not changed after all. That stray incident a few days ago was probably a teenage bird who acted up and did exactly the opposite of what his parents wanted him to do. Us humans are not the only ones facing that problem, I felt assured to know.

Then I was walking around the backyard, camera in hand and felt a dance above my head. The disobedient teenager was right there, and he was on the bottlebrush! I was also right there, and the camera was in my hand! Could it get any better than that? I looked up, pointed the camera in the general direction of where he was last and took a shot. Only time would tell what I got, because he chose to dash off and suddenly be very obedient.



He was caught and had to go to his time out chair for a while. That is where I saw him sitting for a really long time. His parents meant business when he was grounded. He just sat there for a good 15 minutes, rather pensively, I would say.


I wish my son would take my- "You are grounded!" orders so seriously!

Ok people, no more hummingbird talk all the way upto March now, they are gone for the season, well almost! The backyard is a busy place though............
