Hummingbird trapped in garage - NEED ADVICE!!!

[Roadie]

She's sick. Just made her a bowl of soup and back to bed. these gloves are no good for this. Sure, I feel and look great but I worry the nose will skewer my digits. I need something i could use to extend out and grab it from afar.

I'll keep the isotoners on so I don't callous up holding the pole. Be back in five.

Uhm..

while it is unknown to most common man the Hummingbird is a vicious predator with a thirst for the bood of small children. They are also known as natures "sniper" swift silent and deadly. Since this fiend seems to have honed in on your family your efforts to evict him from your premisespermanently will be fruitless as he will continue to attack until he is vanquished. Your only recourse is to employ the services of a handler of the hummingbirds only natural predator-The Honey Badger. I am sure there is someone here on INGO that owns one. Find them and peace will be restored to your Abode. Stay thirsty my friend.

Ah, the beloved honey badger...But man he must be precise to rip off the testicles of a hummingbird!

Here is the capture video. I read that the hummingbird hates fire like most animals, so I figured I'd scare it out with my weed dragon. Unfortunately fire also must paralyze them with fear and they hesitate before fleeing . Anyway, bird is no longer in the garage and I can enjoy my just reward.

Better than my idea. I was going to suggest that you start humming off key so the bird would leave in protest!

Did you torch the bird?

 

[beeeman]

Did you torch the bird?

can you rephrase that? "torch" is such a cruel word, with fairly negative connotations...

 

[hoosierdoc]

Did you torch the bird?

No, that would be mean. I'm a healer. Don't even hunt. I do sauté though...

OK this is definitely the most developmentally disabled thread I've ever read.

Now don't get me wrong, I lol'd a few times. But I think that is a waste of
bacon. Where were your isotoners for protection from the grease spatter?

I just want to know what humming bird tastes like.

I just want to know what humming bird tastes like.

Funny you say that. I just hung four more feeders in my garage and am planning weekly hunts on Friday afternoon. All I ask is one weed dragon per person and a bag limit of two per day. Catch and release under 2 inches.

Hummingbird= half a McNugget in natural sweet n sour sauce.



BTW, little bird, big damn garage door.........can't figure it out, survival of the fittest.

I had one come in (and leave) 3 times last yr while working on my Jeep.

OK, so I wanted to finish my thread/adventure off with a summary. Not everything that you read or see on the internet is true. Some of it is crafted and engineered by a hilarious board member in an attempt to entertain his fellow enthusiasts. Yes a hummingbird was stuck in my garage. Yes my children can scream on command. Yes I taped a stuffed cat to a stick and chased the bird. Yes I went to home depot and bought a hummingbird feeder and placed it outside my garage. I had the door open about 3 hours before the feeder was up and then about an hour after I put the feeder up it was nowhere to be found (perhaps dead and drying on a shelf in the garage )

While I was out getting the feeder, I took my boys with me since my wife truly was not feeling well. I called Hobby Lobby and Michaels, who were without hummingbirds. Joann Fabrics came through for me with two of them. It took three shots of the fire scene before it looked believable. The worse part of it is I wasted a slice of bacon in the process.

You have just looked through a window into my mind. Bunch of voyeurs, all of ya!

Thanks to beeeman for the pic. I can now honestly answer "YES I AM" to the front page question:

You...you...mean this was all a carefully crafted deception loosely based on a mundane, common, homeowner experience? It all seemed so...so real...

Yeah... since the internet is archived forever (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine) I wanted to be clear that the potentially offensive stuff was known to be fake. I showed a few people at work the videos and one person looked appalled at the fire scene. You never know, some people will believe anything they see

 

[beeeman]

Dammit! There goes MY man card now... I sent you that picture IN CONFIDENCE!

I prefer my hummingbird a bit on the rare side.

Yep, that'll do.

Good job Doc!

The drumsticks are a little too small for me. I wonder how many you would get for a serving (and the cost) at Hooters?
