My parents have a hummingbird feeder. Sometimes they leave the door open.
So, it is possible for a hummingbird to come IN the house!
If that happens, it is possible for a hummingbird to sit or lie on the kitchen floor.
Then, if a hummingbird is sitting on the kitchen floor, it is possible for an elderly lady to step on it. 😬
Unfortunately, if that happens, it is very unlikely the hummingbird will survive the experience.
That doesn't happen too often. Fortunately.
@GeezerWench ^^But it is fairly exciting, not in a good way. 😟
@janallmac Yup. Not good excitement.
My Mom had a few hummers kill themselves by flying into the window. Luckily, it only happened a few times.
She would cry and cry over the tiny things.
Can't imagine what she would have done if she stepped on one.
@GeezerWench My mom was quite distraught but my dad tried to distract her by joking that probably nobody in the world had ever stepped on a hummingbird before so she was very special, but unfortunately, that did not have the intended effect. She was very upset!
