Hummingbird Wisdom

Anna’s Hummingbird, Male

Hummingbirds are smart.

And yes, it’s instinctive, so they follow their innate wisdom without considering alternatives.

As a result, they live simple, yet successful lives.

Here is the Hummingbird Wisdom that makes such success possible.

– Fly with courage

– Protect what matters

– Work hard, then rest

– Remember your way home

– Stay near flowers that feed you

– Show your colors with pride

– Pay attention to everything

– Celebrate your uniqueness

– Make each moment a masterpiece

Anna’s Hummingbird, Female

Since we can make choices, we might consider how we could apply these lessons to enrich our lives.

Much success,

Steve Kaye

Help Birds Tip

Go outside

Why: People who spend time outside are happier, healthier, and more productive. They also live longer and heal faster. And if you are reading this blog, we need you to support the environment that birds depend upon.

How: Go for a walk. For example, you might walk around the block, stroll in a park, or visit a local garden. Join a bird walk with your local Audubon chapter to learn more about birds. Or just sit in your yard.

Bonus Idea: Take someone with you. For example, you could invite a neighbor, friend, or relative to join you. Or you could plan a walk with a child. Then use this as an educational opportunity to point out birds, wildlife, and plants.

Did You Know?

The most effective way to help birds is to buy land.

Here are three organizations that excel at doing this.

1) American Bird Conservancy

2) The Nature Conservancy

3) The Trust for Public Land

Please visit their web sites to learn about the work they do.

Here’s an excellent book: The American Bird Conservancy Guide to Bird Conservation
