1) Hummingbird thread. So my wife and I have debated where to put hummingbird feeder. I hung it on our patio a foot from us because I wanted to be face to face birds. She said it was too close so she moved it to the hedges. But she’s away so I moved it back.Guess what. BAD IDEA
2) A hummingbird just FLEW INTO MY HOUSE. We have a huge front window that I think the hummer saw reflection of feeder in. I googled “how the f*ck do you get hummingbird safely out of your house”. It turns out it’s not easy.Their reflex is to fly up so she’s stuck on my ceiling 
3) They said to open the door and try to coax her towards that. Shut all lights and open any other windows. Unfortunately all my screens are sealed. And the hummer won’t fly towards the door. They said to lure her w the feeder. Tried that. Didn’t work.
4)Then I read “hummingbird will die within an hour of exhaustion” so I start freaking out.I grab a broom bc they say that is a way to help them but “be very careful it’s easy to maim or kill them by accident.” No pressure! So I delicately broom her towards the wide open door
5) She flies further into house so now I wave 🧹 wildly to stop her. Finally after 20 min she tired herself out and I gently beg her to get on the broom. Not gonna lie, I may have been crying. Suddenly SHE HOPS ON THE BROOM and I gently bring her outside. She zooms off to a tree!
6) Moral of the story: my wife was right as usual BUT I wouldn’t have had that heart pounding adventure if I had listened to her. But I did move feeder back to the hedges #hummingbird
