You do understand this isn't nasty enough, or the tone demeaning enough, or the attitude angry enough for posting on DU:GD, right?

All kidding aside, this is heartwarming. Trusting little feathered fella. I have a friend who takes a bottle cap and fills it with hummingbird nectar then floats one of the little yellow plastic flowers from a feeder in it. Within minutes of holding it in the palm of her hand, there are two hummingbirds sharing it. She's posted it on Facebook a number of times.

Very nice, My Friend. Me, I make chipmunk feeders that look like tanker trucks where the tank is a one gallon pickle jar. The chipmunks love it, but the squirrels hate it because they can't get in the hole.

Have a Wonderful Day!

5. You didn't watch to the end, where he beats up that other guy

I'm not a big fan of these "shock videos", but you really don't expect all of that violence and blood to just pop out of nowhere.

3. So cute!

Quite a few companion birds are trained to do this. My birds jump in my bathroom sink as soon as I turn on the water.

12. I thought so too

I love most all living creatures. I say most because there are a few that I tolerate only

14. I love watching birds take baths.

All the rain we've been having in Fort Worth creates lots of puddles, and the birds have been taking advantage of it.

16. Nature is awesome

People could be too if we didn't have so many homophobic, racist and general all around assholes

17. It's even nicer when a bird or animal can trust

a human being. We aren't a nice species

18. I recently set free a baby starling I had raised

My husband found her at work and she would have surely died had he not brought her home. I Googled how to care for her and she thrived. After about ten days, she began to fly around in her cage really well, so we opened it up and tempted her with freedom, but she wasn't quite ready. She hung around outside for a few more days, and we brought her inside for the evenings and put her in the cage to sleep. The last couple of days she spent outside, and roosted in a tree at night. When I went outside to feed her each morning, she would fly up to me and land on the driveway, and walk with me to her feeding spot. I'd then put her on the birdbath and she would take the hardiest bath you've ever seen a bird take. LOL

It was truly a precious experience, and she was the first baby bird I didn't kill while trying to save. I fed her for the last time a few days ago, and when I went out the next morning to feed her, she didn't respond to my call. She was finally free and has hopefully found her flock.
