glatt Friday Mar 25 10:54 AM Eww. That's a face only a mother could love. The eyes are all skinned over. sniglet Friday Mar 25 11:07 AM Quote:
Birds is ugly. (Even African greys, I weaned mine.) But if you miss that initial 'this sucker looks undercooked' stage, they're not so bad. Kitsune Friday Mar 25 11:23 AM Can someone post the link for the 2005 set? Trilby Friday Mar 25 11:23 AM Really cool! I'm sorry the one chick got thrown out of the house, though. Mean baby! Karenv Friday Mar 25 01:09 PM Yes please post the 2005 link. All I get is 2003. Undertoad Friday Mar 25 01:12 PM The last page of the 2003 has a link to the 2005. Direct link is: LabRat Friday Mar 25 03:45 PM Anyone know what the white stuff lining the nests is? Cotton they found, or something else? Looks snuggly. sandra77 Friday Mar 25 04:44 PM What a great picture!! Another one our whole family will enjoy. xoxoxoBruce Friday Mar 25 11:44 PM Humans don't look that great.....fresh out. Saknussem Saturday Mar 26 02:25 AM Very Cool!! I do love hummingbirds. Nightsong Monday Mar 28 02:42 PM Quote:
As cool as the hummingbirds are. Saknussem sight with the cats is kinda like the nightmares I have of actually being a character on a multi-dimensional television show. One where what I am doing is watched by what the next me is doing and so on and so on..... Nightsong Monday Mar 28 02:42 PM Meaning to say the site is just plan cool, BTW xoxoxoBruce Monday Mar 28 09:27 PM Quote:

Tonchi Sunday Apr 3 05:36 AM Quick note for LabRat: The "white stuff" in a hummer's nest is SPIDER WEBS It's a really soft and strong building material, they almost sculpt with it. The little critters eat the spiders too (small ones, obviously) as a large part of their protein. Sometimes they weave the down from milkweed pods and similar soft plant fibers, but mostly they build up a cup with lichens and the webs. What's really cute is when they hang the nest from a twig like a big swing. Hummers are fascinating to watch, we have 9 feeders at our house and it's like sitting on the runway at a busy airport if you are outside around dusk!
