Crazy Bird!
In my shop is a floor to ceiling window that looks out on to the back porch. Lately, a red bird has been coming to perch on the chair outside the window. Perhaps the same red bird that built her nest in the rose vines. She flaps her wings, and flies straight up about two feet, then drops down to the chair again. Sometimes she will do this over and over for 15 minutes or so! I am guessing she likes seeing her reflection in the glass, or thinks the reflection is another bird imitating her.

That's another bird I've only ever heard of in novels by American authors. Sigh.... BTW after your humming bird story someone else posted some photos and she said it makes a loud HUMMM that frightens you half to death until you see it's just a bird. I had no idea - never thought about the reason behind the name.
Yes...hummingbirds do hum. I guess its because they forgot the words. : ) They can be quite exciting to watch if you have a feeder. They will feed within a few feet of you!
I'm sitting here imagining that crazy birdie :)
