I was planning to harvest some loquat seeds but didn't get to it yesterday. Something got into it before me.
I had my pellet gun ready, but after taking these photos, just couldn't use it on him. Instead I gave him some loquats to eat.
Positive -- hummingbirds are amazing. I am sure by flying and hovering while sucking nectar, that they violate 5 laws of aerodynamics. Thanks for the photos and please post more. I need to read up on how to attract them. Do you do anything for this?
NEGATIVE! -- Get those possums off your property or they will multiply. Being marsupials I was all sentimental and forgiving of them. Until a really huge one tore the screen in my garage window and starting breaking in. He deposited a pile of possum shit in one place. There is nothing to eat in my garage but he poking around anyhow.
By huge I mean his body looked one foot long. I sighted him twice in the garage and shined a strong LED flashlight in his face. He ignored it completely. Perhaps he was old and blind. I think I am rid of him/her now but I am not positive.
Do not coddle these cute pests. You can always shoot one and put it in the stew pot with potatoes and carrots.
