This past weekend my dad and my step-mom were in the area visiting my cousin, so we went out to San Bernardino where my cousin lives, to have dinner. My cousin has three or four bird feeders, and it appears that he fills them with hummingbird crack because I have never seen so many of those things in my life. I was told that if I stood really close to the feeder and was very still then the birds would come right up to me. Well I was very excited about this so of course I stood there as still as I possibly could but I was terrified that the birds were going to fly straight into my face and pierce me with their beaks. Everyone swore to me that I would not be “beaked”, so I stood there as long as I could, as still as I could. Even though they all tried to reassure me about the “beaking”, I was terrified. Can you tell?
That is pretty cool. I think the only cooler thing would be if you actually held one. You should probably try that next time… just reach out and *GRAB* like Mr. Miyagi catching a fly with chopsticks.
Then, you’d be the coolest.
