Instead of eating them why don't you just catch and release. All you fishermen love to do it and I'm sure the birds would love it too.

Xantus hummingbird is a Mexican hummingbird.

I really enjoy your posts Osprey!

The Zantus are an amazing hummer, one was guarding its territory so closely that it dive bombed Mrsfish as she photographed it. When she did not move
it did a straffing run and moved on her! Nasty little buggers, she did feel like eating a liver or two herself, but her better nature prevailed.

the village by an outsider, a wretched creature named Knor who it was rumored killed the birds with a rustic miniature shotgun with a range of about
a meter. His name was never spoken aloud. |
Just curious...which order of Bhuddist monks were you with?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I think he was really with an order of Trappist monks, crafting (and sampling) hummingbird liver ale.

Fez, I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you and eat your liver. It's a vow thing.
Vanna White was a member for a while. There was some kind of mixup with her vow.

I thought perhaps there was good reason why you were not following the Five Precepts. Not a troll here BTW.
Viking liver is too tough to consume BTW.

Duh!! Hummingbird livers of course! Since the livers detox the toxins they no doubt are a very rich source of the vital psychadelic substances. Sure
explains a lot about Osprey's creative powers, where else could these ideas come from? I think he actually lived with Carlos Castanada's guru and the
buddhist stick is just a distraction. I think I saw him out in the desert last spring hunting peyote buttons with a bow and arrow. I quickly turned
away in disgust when the wind blew up his loincloth and exposed his....well, never mind... This guy has taken Huichole yarn painting to a brand new
level, his yarn is woven on a computer rather than the standard beeswax covered piece of plywood.
