I hope one of my hummers is ok......his feathers are all ratty looking and he's

been sitting on the feeder for a long time, drinks every once in awhile, but he dang near looks like he’s almost napping or sleeping on the feeder. It’s getting pretty dark and I have never seen a hummer sit that long on the feeder. I just hope he’s ok. 🥰 🥰 🥰

The song of canaries (or hummers) Never varies

And when they're moulting,
They're pretty revolting.
