Tiny Hummingbird Brain vs. Gigantic Human Brain: On my being trained by a small bird [View all]

I'm guessing that the cc's of my brain make it larger than that of the Ruby Throat Hummingbird, although sometimes my
wife would argue otherwise.
Yet this year when black ants took over my feeder, literally engorging and killing themselves en masse in the liquid and
scaring my little friends away, I decided to give the feeder a rest by taking it down for awhile from the rain chain where it
hung.
After coming back several times to the now vacant spot over a week or so, a female Ruby Hummer flew to the "spying"
window, met me eye-to-eye, lecture lingering me for a full half minute or so as if to say: "Yo, Big Brain, figure out how to make
this thing work."
Whereupon I dutifully Rube Goldberged a bent wire to give the feeder some separation from the rain chain.
One hour later, Lady Ruby rewarded me for being so quick to learn what she wanted.
