Re: hummingbirds

Sinjin, I was only about a foot away watching the one I saw. <LOL>

If them B52's could hover, they'd be like a hummingbird from hell. If they could hover it wouldn't be at no flowers, that's for sure. Where's that can of brake cleaner. Gotta go outside tonight and make sure no moah crawling on the house trying to get into our windows. <shudder>

I never hear them humming; it would be drowned out by the screams of the tourist at whom the cockaroach was flying.

Too bad you guys don't have hummingbirds, they're really great to watch. They love Bird of Paradise Flowers, and I always seem them howering around in those.

There are plenty of nice birds here already. They all live above 4000 feet elevation and are in danger of going extinct at any moment. Don't wish for more invasive species which will put even more pressure on them. Anyone who brings invasive species here should be staked out in a field so the mongooses can eat their extremeties and the rats can chew their eyeballs out. (do I sound bitter?)

Re: hummingbirds

reason i ask is that sometimes bird owners sometimes due to lack of supervision or whatever, lose their birds. just wondering how cockatiels, lovebirds, greys etc affect the wild bird population.

I doubt they'd go up to the elevations that the remaining native birds live at. However, any bird that comes close is a disease carrier and competition for space and resources, and could strengthen the mosquito population. Hummingbirds are perfectly happy with high elevations and cooler weather, and it seems like they'd go bonkers if introduced here.

Unfortunately, there are many who would consider transplants from other states (such as yourself) to be an "invasive species," too.
