I had Genever out on the harness & leash while I was sitting on the bench reading this afternoon. Then BF came home and got a ham sandwich and was eating outside, Genever thought the sandwich was hers of course..
Anyway I finally got her attention off her daddy's dinner and she was lying near the lemon tree. Well 2 hummingbirds very, very close to each other, and flew towards the lemon tree. Genever spotted them. They flew lower, pretty much right at her, and she jumped up and grabbed/pounced and got one! I grabbed her off it right away (i was maybe 3 feet away) and the hummingbird was almost still, on its back, moving very slightly. I said "What should we do?" thinking she got it bad, but when I touched it, it took off! Wow!! I cannot believe the birds came so close to Genever though, you'd think birds would know not to get near a predator! Unless they were just that into each other that they didn't notice... Anyway, all are ok.
