Hoping for the best outcome for Sassy!! Bright side is now she gets 100% of mom's nuturing.

Sassy is growing fast; in the first pics he/she is just barely visible on the right side of the nest.

Then Sassy is trying out his/her tiny wings.

Sassy did not seem to be developing feathers normally, so she was removed from the nest and taken to rehab. It seems that there was a shortage of fruit flies to feed her.

Very sadly, she died on February 20.

The pic below is of Sassy just before she went to rehab.

Phoebe is now preparing Jade and Julep's nest for eggs.

Awe...what a sad turn of events. Hoping for better luck with Phoebe!!

I've read about how you can hang a banana peal by your hummingbird feeder in your yard to attract fruit flies for the hummers. If there's a shortage there, there may be one in your neighborhoods too.

I was just sitting here on the computer and our first male humming bird showed up at the military flag hanging in our front window. he then headed right over to his waiting feeder! HOORAY! Bring on the gang!

DON'T TAKE LIFE TOO SERIOUSLY, NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!
