Birth of a Hummingbird
Roy Martin:
Yes these little humming birds are cute but they are the most greedy territorial creatures I've ever seen, yet they never seize to amaze me. I have at least 50+ hummingbirds flying around my porch from sunup till sundown. I have 4 feeders with 17 total feeding flowers. I have them hanging on the porch so to get a close look. They are drinking over 3 cups of sweet water daily.
Its spectacular to see the air and trees full of these little things.I was sitting on the porch and the sun was coming up behind the trees. I saw all of these drops falling from the trees as if they were raining, but it was hummingbirds taking their morning poop. They fight, eat, poop, chatter constantly at each other, but soon something inside them takes over and they stop fighting and start sharing without conflict. The feeders will be covered with them all day until the sun goes down. They will do this until one day suddenly they are gone until spring.
I said 50+ birds, but there is just way too many to count.
Peace
Roy

Hi janine, I think you are right... ;D
Seems as if God does laugh.
Psa 2:4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Jehovah shall mock at them.
Psa 37:13 Jehovah laughs at him; for He sees that his day is coming.
Psa 59:8 But You, O Jehovah, shall laugh at them; You will mock at all the nations.
Pro 1:25 but you have despised all my advice, and would have none of my warning.
Pro 1:26 I also will laugh at your trouble; I will mock when your fear comes;
And has a sense of humor.
Job 39:13 An ostrich proudly flaps her wings, but not because she loves her young.
Job 39:14 She abandons her eggs and lets the dusty ground keep them warm.
Job 39:15 And she doesn't seem to worry that the feet of an animal could crush them all.
Job 39:16 She treats her eggs as though they were not her own, unconcerned that her work might be for nothing.
Job 39:17 I myself made her foolish and without common sense.
Job 39:18 But once she starts running, she laughs at a rider on the fastest horse.
Pro 11:22 A beautiful woman who acts foolishly is like a gold ring on the snout of a pig.
Pro 21:9 It's better to stay outside on the roof of your house than to live inside with a nagging wife.
Pro 22:13 Don't be so lazy that you say, "If I go to work, a lion will eat me!"
Pro 27:14 A loud greeting early in the morning is the same as a curse.
Pro 27:15 The steady dripping of rain and the nagging of a wife are one and the same.
Pro 27:16 It's easier to catch the wind or hold olive oil in your hand than to stop a nagging wife.
Heb 11:12 Abraham was as good as dead :o. Yet, from this man came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the grains of sand on the seashore.
Hoo-Hah...Mark
