Philippine Hummingbird


This local hummingbird is our regular visitor and tweets all throughout the visit. Here I caught his daily routine, sipping nectars on its favourite red powder puff flower. Early morning they came.

But I usually uncover my terrarium for minutes or so and mistily hand-spray them twice a week. After it settles in, I place the cover back on and revisit them time to time.

Terrarium

"I am making a terrarium." I was explaining to my 4 year old nephew, Aaron, when he asked what I was doing one morning. And continued saying that if fish lives in this glass box, it is called 'aquarium' but if it's plants growing, it is 'terrarium'...He smiled hearing the rhyming words.
