Itīs always on one of these 3 places (which covers my bedroom window and my porch, something around 4 meters long). It fights fiercely for this territory against other hummingbirds. Now I will tell you why I donīt like this bird. I donīt see it getting nectar from my flowers, though. I have a huge pink/yellow orchid, but it doesnīt seem to atract it. It seems to, mainly, steal the nectar from the Sea Hibiscus planted around this building (id doesnīt suck it from the middle, it opens a hole with its bill outside the petals). It not only doesnīt help me pollinating my flowers, but also spoils other plants - which, also, keeps other birds away. And, dude, it sings so bad! It starts singing hysterically at 6 am. I hate waking up with that noise. Then it keeps singing all the day until night. Beautiful like a flying flower. But besides that, I can only complain about this "guest" that ended up taking over *my* apartment :^P |
