For your Sunday Smile, we’re sharing a video of a hummingbird dancing around Rana, as though she were a flower. Hummingbirds have been hanging around the barn almost every day for the past week – but apparently this one wanted to take a moment to kiss Miss Rana’s sweet belly today.

May 29, 2022 at 3:02 pmGracias por compartir esta hermosa actualización. En muchas culturas el colibrí es considerado mensajero de amor, alegría, superación, tenacidad del propio espíritu para afrontar la vida y los cambios que ésta propone También dicen que los ángeles los envían con bendiciones … Una maravilla ser parte de un espectáculo como éste. No me extraña que la flor elegida sea RANA 🙂 Ella tiene una misión “especial” que cumplir entre las elefantas y lo hace muy bien !

May 29, 2022 at 3:23 pmThis seems so sweet to me–I wondering if Rana was ok with it or nervous or what??

May 29, 2022 at 4:01 pmI thought hummingbirds only ate nectar. I decided to research it, and found that they also eat insects. The hummingbird flying around Rana was probably looking for insects to eat. I’m sure Rana didn’t mind.

May 29, 2022 at 5:17 pmThat is very interesting that a hummingbird would be introduced in staying that long by her. They must have become friends
