Hummingbird Sleepover -- or was it a sunbird?



Was that a hummingbird or a sunbird?

Actually, that bird is a frequent visitor in the garden. It loves the flowers there. That tiny fella hovers in mid air while it drinks nectar from the flowers. It moves really fast.

Last night, it perched on the curtain rod of the bedroom where it retired for the night. When the sun came up, the little fella woke up and flew out of the window. Now I don't think it got lost. I believe it was simpy adamant about spending the night in the house.

Found out this morning that that sunbird or hummingbird (blue feathers covers most of it, except for the sunny yellow covering its belly) had been following the maid most afternoon. She tried to chase it away, but it followed her wherever she went. Eventually, it probably got bored as it flew out of the house again.

Caught a few more photos of the friendly little bird last night.


Can you spot that little critter in these photos below?
