Yesterday I saw a litle bird. The bird was so small as big as a thumb. I don't know the name of the bird. It flew here and there and shipping the honey from the flower. I was so happy because I had never saw a bird which was very beautiful. I thank to God for giving me an opportunity to see a lovely bird. I think we can appreciate life by seing and appreciating small thing in life.

Like the other people have said, it sounds like you had the pleasure of seeing a hummingbird. They are really very small birds and their wings just flap and flap, they move so quickly that you can never get a good look at their wings. They typically have very beautiful and vibrant colors and feed off of the flowers as you've described. It's been a long time since I've seen a hummingbird, but I will tell you that whenever I am lucky enough to see one I feel very thankful as well.

That sounds like a hummingbird.. they are quite small and drink nectar.. Their wings move so fast you can barely even see them. They can be quite pretty and colorful!

I agree, it sounds to me that you have seen your first hummingbird...lol The first time I saw one I ran thinking it was a giant bee..lol Here is some information on hummingbirds if you are interested. We only have one kind where I live in the eastern USA. It is called a Ruby-throated, some sites say we have Allen's and Rufous. I don't know where they are but no one I know has seen them in Mass. http://www.avianweb.com/hummingbirdspecies.html Here is some hummingbird information if you are interested. You can also easily attract hummingbirds to your yard or garden, that information is also on this site. http://www.avianweb.com/feedingwildbirds.html Brightest blessings, Mari

A hummingbird possibly? Most of them aren't much bigger than a thumb and they tend to fly very quickly from one flower to the next
