Might be appropriate to edit the title to something like ā€œA tribute to Hummingbirds (Colibri)ā€. It matches the OPā€™s intent without scaring half the board that itā€™s an obit. ---

> [@mistymage](#): > > The Narrator sounds familiar ā€¦ is he the Dear Diary Cat guy? It is! He also does the Dear Kitten Friskies ads. Yes, itā€™s the same guy: zefrank1. Heā€™d been a prolific YouTuber, with the True Facts videos, and the cat diaries, among others, but he then stepped away from doing them for a couple of years. He started making new videos, like the hummingbird one, last year. My favorite of his is ā€œTrue Facts About Morgan Freeman.ā€ [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Ch5MEJk5ZCQ/maxresdefault.jpg "True Facts About Morgan Freeman") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch5MEJk5ZCQ) ---

I was standing outside yesterday afternoon observing our dogs running around in the meadow. Right next to me was a big, beautiful plant my gf had planted. as I was standing there, a hummingbird flew up and began investigating the flowers within inches of my head. I stood perfectly still, moving only my eyes. As I watched the bird, so was he observing me. Happy to hear Colibri is ok. šŸ˜Œ ---

Oh I so wish there were colibris/hummingbirds in Europe! Such extraordinary animalsā€¦ never seen one in person. PS: I also like penguins and bats and mushrooms and worms and butterfliesā€¦ and so on, but hummingbirds are among the favourites.
