This year we finally got visitors to our hummingbird feeder. My cousins in Iowa had feeders on their porch and they were swarming with the little birdies. Like dozens at a time, waiting in line. We are not quite so lucky, or maybe as beginners we haven't earned such a flock.
This is our second feeder this year. The first one got stolen by raccoons.
We have a single Mr. and Mrs. Hummingbird, but they need names before they leave for the winter! So name the hummingbirds and try to win a spot in Nightmare on Query Street.
My free pass allows you to bypass the slush and go directly to a spot on Team Minion in Nightmare on Query Street. At this time we have a total of
Nothing could be simpler. Comment with your hummingbird name and fill out the rafflecopter. You have until October 10th.
I already commented, but it doesn't look like it went through. I apologize if this comes up with a duplicate post. But...

ReplyDeleteHis name is Archibald, but everyone calls him Gus. He can't remember why. As a boy, he dreamed of becoming a woodpecker and working with his uncle at the Chipping Factory. But then he met Evie, a rambunctious beauty with a hibiscus allergy. She filled his head with stories of far away places, of adventures beyond his wildest dreams. Gus never looked back. Everyday with Evie is a new adventure, new sights, new sounds, new tastes. One day they will settle down. Maybe they'll even start a family. Today, Gus and Evie are happy flitting from one adventure to the next. There's too much beautiful world to see to slow down now.

ReplyDeletePink and Panther, Europe's most notorious jewel thieves. You think the raccoons stole your first feeder because that is what Pink and Panther WANT you to think. They are planning their next heist even now. There's no way that second feeder makes it through the Fall.
ReplyDeleteI'd name the hummingbirds sugar and spice.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but both birds are actually male. They only just came around now because they had to first go to NY in order to legally get married. They are a little upset that they made the long travel to NY considering today's Supreme Court ruling, but what's done is done. Oh yeah, their names. They are named Horus and Thoth, after the two Egyptian gods with bird heads. I can never tell which one is which because, I mean come on, they're freaking birds, so I always just say, "Hey Horus and Thoth," and then talk to them as a pair.
ReplyDeleteWestley and Buttercup!
ReplyDeleteJoker and (Harley) Quinn
