Hummingbirds are so little!
Even my pet cockatiel, Luke, was bigger than hummingbirds are.

Since Putin's military wasn't ready to take on Ukrainian forces, than how is his military supposed to take on NATO forces?
I've done a lot of volunteer work over the years.
However, I have never considered myself a hero because the volunteer jobs that I've done aren't anything that risks my safety.
I've never been a volunteer firefighter or anything like that.
I think Putin would be crazy to have his military attack one or more NATO nations because I don't think his military is ready to take on NATO forces.
In my opinion, a hero isn't a famous sports athlete.
Instead, how I define a hero is someone who risks his or her life to save others.
And that's what volunteer fire fighters do (as well as the paid ones, for that matter). They often risk their lives to fight fires and save people trapped in those fires.
They certainly have my respect because of it, that's for sure.
Lots of people enjoy performing volunteer work at nursing homes. They try to help nursing home residents by visiting them and play group games such as bingo. They try (and often succeed) at putting smiles on the residences there.
However, volunteering at nursing homes isn't for everybody, even for some of those who like spending time with the elderly. Not everybody can handle working in a nursing home.
If you want to help the elderly and make a difference in their lives, but not at a nursing home, then becoming a volunteer at an assisted living home may be a better option for you. People there like getting visits from volunteers as well.
I've done volunteer work at both nursing homes and assisted living homes. I found both experiences to be good ones.
Here's another idea: if you're interested in volunteering your time helping the elderly, maybe you could try visiting residences at both an assisted living home and a nursing home to get an idea of what's the best fit for you.
Heck, maybe doing both would be what's best for you.
Either way, you really can make a difference.
If I could stop all the violence going on in Ukraine right now (as well as violence anywhere else in the world, for that matter), I would.
The owl looks like he or she wants to look good for the picture, ha, ha.
Nice picture, Brenda.
Glad you're better now, Larry.
A few weeks ago, I stubbed my pinky toe, and it hurt for a few days.
But I'm better now too.
When I was a young child in the late 1980's, my parents and I listened to a lot of country music on the radio back then.
We'd listen to The Judds music a lot back in the day.
Sorry to hear about this tragic news.
