Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you are having a really good day today.
Do you know which is the most amazing bird in the whole USA? It is the humming bird. Why do I say that -- well it's because for one thing no other bird can come close to flying like it does. It can fly forward, backward and upside down; and it can stop in mid air and just hover. It can fly straight up like a helicopter, and it can reach full speed almost immediately upon takeoff. But to do this it has to eat a lot of food. In fact, if you weigh 75 pounds, you would have to eat 200 pounds of food a day to eat as much as a hummingbird eats in comparison to its weight. But there is one sad thing that can happen to a humming bird. When it reaches the place it will spend the Summer, it chooses one twig to stay on all Summer when not flying. It will defend its twig from everyone. But if the twig breaks off for some reason, the poor hummingbird is almost lost. It will come back as many as 100 times trying to land on the twig before it will finally choose another twig. Isn't that just like us? Sometimes we have a place we just like to be, and if someone else takes it from us, it's hard to adjust.
