A Real Parent's Story
The hummingbird that landed on my daughter finger
“Thousands of hummingbirds. It was magical. One landed on my 4-year-old finger and stayed for a full minute.”
Read full story
26 species of hummingbirds everywhere - green, blue, red, shimmering. A tiny green one landed on my daughter finger. She froze, eyes wide. She still talks about it a year later.
