My family wasn’t interested in the outdoors it was very foreign to them. However, I was always fascinated with everything in nature, especially the birds. My paternal grandmother had a neighbor who put up multiple hummingbirds feeders, and they attracted 30+ hummingbirds. It was amazing to see all of them buzz around. My favorite memory was the neighbor, Clyde’s relationship with them. He would sit on his porch in a rocking chair and put on a red ball cap and they would flock to it. Some hummingbirds even rested on the ball cap! I am now an avian trainer and educator for birds of Prey and I look back now thinking of course I want I want close relationships with birds.
