That's normal for the birds near your office. They are there because there are ponds with great fishing. Some things never change. Sam Hill pond is one of the best, or was. It's moss on the birds back.


It's your company's fault though.

Had the same bird in the garage 2 days in a row last month. They fly up to the ceiling and cant figure out how to get out of the garage!

Turn off interior lights, leave the door open, leave, and they'll go towards the light.
Same with insects.

I'd find a taxidermist with small hands.
That Actually crossed my mind! I was gonna put it in a little ziploc baggy and store it in the freezer till I found one. I am sure my wife wouldn't mind

Tried that. We gave up after six hours. Had to gently grab him with a towel and take him outside. The second time, I got him to land on a broom and slowly walked him out.

Not much room for brains in that little skull....

Happened to me last week on a job where the home is vacant. After trying to reason with the little fvk with a broom, I closed the doors and left for the night. Next day it was outta there as soon as the garage doors were fully opened.

Musta gone to school over night.

He's not pining, he's passed on. this hummingbird is no more. It has ceased to be. It's a late hummingbird. He's gone to meet his maker. This is an ex-hummingbird!

How about a slug?

Right this is silly silly silly, get on with it!

This is how I like to see them. Took this at my mom's house. She's got a feeder. They fight there too. They don't seem to care much for the flash.
