We've really been enjoying this fountain and will miss the sound of falling water. I think we may have to get one for home. We've especially enjoyed seeing all the hummingbirds drinking from it. I have tried to get a photo of that but haven't managed it yet. There are an amazing number of hummingbirds around our place although people here say there are fewer this year because fewer blossoms because of the freeze in January.
I bought a little book on hummingbirds that states that "the experts say they can't fly, but they do, they can sing, but they try, they can't perch, but they do. It appears they confound the experts by defying the laws of gravity and the laws of nature.
They can't smell and are attracted to the flowers stricly by colour...red being their favouite. On an average day the hungry hummer will go smorgasbording on about 1500 flowers...wow!
