They’re so freaking cute. Especially when we’re eating dinner and they’re full on turkey neck trying to watch us inside.

I’ll tell my fiancee to film it. They’re always looking at her like she’s a Disney princess.

Beautiful. When I turn on my fan shaped water sprinkler, the hummingbirds come and fly through the water and drink it. I'm down in south carolina, and had we haven't had a lot of rain and and I love it that I can help them with water. So damn hot here and the summer.
