Lazy hummingbird.

For a few years now, for photography reasons, I have tried to place a twig of some kind near the feeders. Images with the feeders in the frame just didn't meet my requirements. These twigs give the bird a resting place and then they don't have to fly back and forth. Well this hummer has really got these twig things of to a fine art.

Good One!! He obviously likes to save his energy for other things. That twig is an excellent idea both for you and your little hummingbird.
