Hummingbirds. and a note about butterflies.

So, today I was sitting outside with my friend Twyla. Zen was going back and forth making happy darth vader sounds. (Zen is my kitty. His full name is Aezenreial... but we call him Zen-zen. When he's happy he sounds like darth vader. He does not purr. Never has.) He was also trying to steal Twyla's shiny stuff she brought to show me. (He is attracted to shinies... hes a kitty pirate. he steals shinies, and when he knows its yours and hears you enter the room, he will sit on it and pretend its not missing.)

There are two hummingbird feeders out front. We were watching the one little female watch us, and then go and get some "necter" (we've got at least 4 females and 2 males that frequent them) She zoomed right up, sat on the rosebush and looked at us... then made angry noises every time she came back. lol

Me with my feline instincts... (twyla has wolf-like instincts... i apparently act like a cat.) wanted to jump, flail, and make noise every time the bird flew up... i do this to birds. i like to chase em... I figured it would be best not to because it would have a heart attack... just too tiny you know?

Then a thought struck me. What if a hummingbird got angry?

It could potentially zoom up, stick its beak in my eye and taste my brain. OMG. dont mess with the hummingbirds.

(yes, I realize this is VERY unlikely.... but still.)

Which brings me up to the subject... I am scared of butterlies and moths. Their mouthparts freak me out. I KNOW THEY WONT HURT ME.... but they freak me out.

Theyre fine and dandy as pictures and jewelry, and fluttering around... BUT NOT ON ME. I think one of the worst possible things that could happen would be to stick me in that butterfly exhibit at the zoo.

Plus... THEY TASTE YOU WITH THEIR FEET. not right.

This is me in my orange hat and red trench. standard kylie.
