Too cool. Why is it in your hands? vz
My wife will hold sugar water in her palm and the birds will eat out of her hand.
Nope, not a wood carving!
I used to rescue little Anna's hummers in my garage all the time. They would fly in & try to go out the window but instead they impaled their beaks in the plastic window screens. I had to gently pull them out & release them, after a brief moment for admiration of course. They never learned so I finally removed the screens.

Two similar encounters. I stood by the feeder with my hand close to the "flower" and one hummer landed on my hand and helped himself to a drink. Most amazing to feel those little feet gripping my finger. The second encounter happened when one flew into the house thru a slightly opened screen door and naturally wouldn't try to fly out the same way but thru the screen and got stuck. I carefully took hold of the little feller and then let him out the door. Most amazing! Love to watch them around a feeder.
