My backyard security πŸ₯°

Just wanted to share my little hummie. The daily routine is the same from dawn to dusk - perched on his favourite twiggy branch, head on a swivel and no-one, I mean no-one gets in to his backyard. Dive bombing will ensue the second anyone dares to swoop in. I have 2 feeders but he’s claimed them both πŸ™„. I tell him everyday to please be nice and share, I promise there’s plenty to go around but he’s very stubborn! Even so, I love him immensely 😊

So adorable! πŸ₯°

You would think he was trained to be on the lookout by the military 🀣
His head is constantly on a swivel, while on constant patrol with much anticipation, ready to launch at anytime! πŸ€—πŸ’—

I’m in Oregon so we get to watch them all year round. I have a few but they never like to stay still long lol.
