We just made our hummingbirds’ lives a little easier. We trimmed the Firebush. It was getting so big we couldn’t walk past it in our little yard, so I cut back about a third of it. There are still plenty of flowers all over the top, but way less for the little birds to remember. The little birdbrains can remember every feeder along their migration route and even recognize individual people who refill the feeders too. Maybe as we welcome back the flood of hummingbirds in the fall on their migration south to Central America, some of them will be glad to see us as well.
