I don't know about Phred
He freaked me out. You won't believe this one, because
1) I don't and
2) I didn't get a picture.
Today Phred and three other hummingbirds were on the feeder. Like Phred, the others have figured out the handlebars now too. Unlike Phred, they were all eating. He was just sitting there with his beak in the air, staring off into space, motionless. A minute later, the three others fly off, leaving Phred, who doesn't even twitch.
So, I'm thinking Phred has figured out that there's really no reason to fly off and waste energy, just to come back in five minutes and find some other bird on your handlebar.
Brilliant. The type of brilliance that can only come from profound laziness. I think Phred and I may be soul mates.
Then another bird comes and pokes Phred, who just flips over backwards and hangs on, upside down, like a BAT, and doesn't move a muscle.
I'm watching from a few feet away behind the sliding glass door. And it's obvious that Phred is dead. Probably speared through the heart by another hummingbird. Since I haven't seen Phred actually move of his own accord, I'm thinking that he died earlier today and is now completely stiff from rigor morits.
Kelly is due home any time, and we've both had bad days, hers was probably much worse than mine. So she doesn't need to deal with a dead Phred hanging from the feeder.
So I slid the door open and walk toward the feeder. Still dead. A little closer. Not a twitch.
Now, I don't really want to feel a cold, dead bird in my hand, so I grab the broom and decide to poke him off the feeder with the handle and sweep him into the dust pan. Maybe give him a proper burial with the hoe way out in the back 0.003 acres.
But, as I brush his feathers with the broom handle, he lets go, drops three feet, and flies off.
My dad was a witness to Phred playing in the hose mist two feet in front of me the Saturday morning they were here, but I'm really not sure he'll even believe this one without seeing it for himself.
Was he stunned? Playing dead? Trying to convince the other birds he was just an object, not a bird? I don't know.
Weird ass bird.

It also occured to me that the sugar water could have fremented and Phred was wasted. But according to what I read, they won't touch fremented sugar. But that would explain a lot of Phred's behavior.

The similarity between you and Phred is really starting to creep me out!!!!

You should rename him to drop dead phred. Or DDP.

Did DDT cause DDP?

I could make some comment now about great minds, but I called you weird earlier so I will just leave it alone...

Uncle Chuck,
I think that bird is smarter than you, no ofence.
P.s I really did wright this one I'm at aunt j's.

Smarty pants.
Of course you're right.
Your spelling sucks, but you're right. It was probably just because you were at aunt J's.
Reply to this
There are lots of things that happen under JJ's roof that wouldn't happen at home. Apparently bad spelling is one of them!

For the record, "smarter" was both "smarer" and "smater" before it was sent.
Chaley - Just so you know, I'm feeding your child hamburger helper, no vegtables and soda at 8:30 at night after he was out with Christopher shooting guns behind the barn.
Yeah, I'm totally not kidding. *This* is why I rock as an aunt. My poor son, however, would probably die of malnutrition if you didn't feed us three times a week. : )

I don't know who would love your colon if you didn't have me around. Seriously.
Reply to this
Sorry Dawn. I swear your child will be well taken care of when he comes to play. : )
Chaley, nobody loves my colon but you.
Reply to this
I trust you....REALLY I do (she said fearfully as her thought of what was really being shot behind the barn).
BROWNIES ANYONE?!?!? :B
