13. Oh, I did--amazing. I had some hummers near my apartment patio |
|
a while ago and put out a feeder but they trimmed the landscaping and the beauties haven't come back since.
When I had a yard, I landscaped to attract them; I love them, could watch them all day.

I swore I wouldn't do it again but they are so cute.
