Hi Lorraine, I am going to add this to the thread. I have a hummingbird feeder on my deck and the cat and I are very fond of watching the little critters. One morning I was doing a crossword puzzle and heard the distictive whirrrrr of a hummer going by, but it didn't keep going. I looked up and it was hovering inches from my face. And it continued to hover. I was getting this sort of Hitchcockian feeling before it finally moved on to sweeter pickings. Later I moved indoors and looking in the mirror I realized what had attracted the bird. I was wearing a new hat given to me by a friend who had seen a production of "Little Shop of Horrors." While I don't think the words on the hat attracted the bird, I suspect the colors caught her fancy. Z
