I have a hummingbird feeder against my bedroom window. What a nice way to greet the morning, watching these tiny jewels diving, hovering and dancing in the air…just a few inches away. Often there are four or five of them feeding and then fighting to protect this source of food.
These little guys are prisoners to their metabolism. If we had to consume as many calories as they do to keep us going…we would have to eat 270 lbs. of hamburger a day!
