I think it pissed on her hand. But maybe she's into that shit.
Honestly to get the chance to hold a baby hummingbird, I'd let it piss on me too.
I have hummingbird feeders. Recently I was peeing in my garden and one flew thru my stream.
Does that make me a Disney princess?
Unrelated, I actually have had a songbird alight upon my finger early one morning while watching the sunrise. I screamed and hurled it back into the sky.
Forgivable because it's a baby
It most probably is the juice from the berry.
Do birds piss like that? I thought they just made urates like snakes?
I thought about that but then I remembered that what comes out of newborn humans is really weird so I thought hatchlings might also?
Is it m&ms? Newborn babies shit m&ms, don't they?
far as i know they, like all birds, have cloacas
but given their diet i could imagine that they tend to.. leak..
?? Yeah, all reptiles have cloacas... idk why that would have any relevance to what comes out of them though
