Our baby hummingbirds are one week old today. They’ve grown a lot since their birthday! Since we last looked, they’ve sprouted a lot of pinfeathers. Also, you can’t see their beaks in this photo, but they’re getting longer and losing that day-glo orange color. Mama Hummingbird’s obviously doing a great job of feeding her chicks. Extra evidence: Look at all the poop pellets around the rim of the nest.
I borrowed Larry the Honey-Do Man’s measuring tape for this next picture. Amazing, isn’t it?
One other thing, tangentially related. Have you heard about Just Born’s newest product, Sugar-free Peeps? My husband, who is a sugar addict card-carrying member of the Peeps Fan Club, brought some home the other day. He hasn’t yet summoned the courage to try one. Apparently, though, Peeps purists are already squawking about the rubbery texture and unpleasant aftertaste. You might want to stick with the classics. Extra evidence: The new chicks are high in sugar alcohols, which have a laxative effect make you poop a lot.
Oh my gosh, Melodye! I know how small hummingbirds are. I have a couple that come to our feeder every summer, but yet, I had not realized how small the nest is. That is AMAZING!!!!
I realized yesterday that my photos didn’t exactly do their actual size justice. I’m glad you liked the images.
(LOVE that blue butterfly so much!)
Ooh. Nice tape measure visual to put it all in perspective. Savvy you. π
I’ll be honest: I was inspired to do it by the website I’ve been linking. π
Whoa. That is one TINY nest! But it’s so cool that you’re sharing these two tiny miracles with us!!!!
It’s so, so special to share with all y’all. π
WOW! Thanks for providing the scale! Makes it even more amazing! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been enjoying following along!
Well hi there! I’m glad you stopped by. It’s so much fun to share this with my friends. π
Wow! That is tiny!!!!
Tinier even than that adorable puppy. π
the babies are so cute!
We just discovered a nest in our tangerine tree! Still eggs for us. I’m still amazed at how tiny the nests are!
I’m also looking forward to watching them learn how to fly!
You have a nest, too? Oh, that is so cool! Now you have a resource against which to measure your babies’ progress. π
My youngest is a tangerine fiend…he found the nest when the mama divebombed him as he was picking a tangerine. He was so excited!
They’re getting bigger! (in such a small nest – thank you for the perspective, I’m in awe)
And the Peeps – there’s Christmas ones? I didn’t know!
I have to ask…what is that icon? It looks like one of those Star Trek characters.
There are Peeps now for almost every season. Makes them a little less special, doesn’t it? Ah well, I don’t really like them, myself. The gritty outside…ew!
I really don’t know what the fluffy things is.
Cat? Rabbit? Bedroom Slipper? A very large Peep?
Wow!! They are so tiny. A cheery picture for a snowy day!! : )
Oh, so I shouldn’t tell you, then, that we hit 78 degrees this afternoon? *ducks*
They really are tiny! The ruler puts things into perspective.
Oh dear… The Kate who cries at Folgers commercials has reared her ugly, weepy head. I just teared up when I saw how big they’re getting.
You look adorable when you tear up. I love that I have sentimental friends. (Birds of a feather…)
xo
Oh my! Talk about perspective…the tape-measure really makes you realize how tiny and perfect the nest and babies are!
Yes, it does. I didn’t think until today that the photos look much larger than life.
HOW SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
I love ’em to pieces.
That tiny nest is truly amazing! Thank you for sharing Melodye!
I love your outdoor pics, too, Sharon…A little colder than mine, but beautiful, nonetheless.
Oh man, you just can’t go messin’ with Peeps like that! It’s… unholy!!!
Ha ha! Unholy. π
You’re so right!
