Tom have you set the hummers outside near a real hummers sugar bottle and see what the real hummers would do when they saw them that you made? They look sooooo real.

Very good Tom. Here's a suggestion for a couple of projects. A South Texas White Wing Dove and a Eurasian Collared Dove, also called a Ring Neck Dove. If you need photos I can send.

Probably all I would get fron ccarving and whitling is a cut finger. lol Guess I will settle for the real thing. We have a hummingbird feeder hanging from the ladder and I have two ladies that visit it all the time. It is fun to watch them zip in an out. Isn't nature Great. Have a Good Day.
