Man Documents His Adorable Journey Of Befriending A Hummingbird
Tommy Callaway had a dream of befriending a hummingbird. Day one began while Tommy was out in his garden. Noticing the hummingbird, he held out his hand, finger extended, and made soft noises to attract the little bird. The bird stayed close, but didn’t touch Tommy.

On days two and three, the bird let Tommy get a little closer. On day four, the little bird got a teensy, tiny bit brave, but just for a second. The bird likes red flowers and took just a bit from Tommy’s hand. On day six, the little bird allowed first contact, reluctantly. Tommy was able to pet the bird’s chest with his finger. Tommy was convinced to continue his attempt at befriending this hummingbird.
Day seven saw more hesitant chest rubs. Holding a flower, Tommy watched as the hungry little bird eagerly sipped nectar. On day eight, the hummingbird used its beak to groom Tommy’s cuticle. Day nine, and a helpful comment from a fan let Tommy know that his little hummingbird is a girl. He asked his fans to help him name her, and the suggestions are still rolling in. Tommy selected one of the first suggested names and officially named her Piper on day ten.
Piper waits for Tommy every day on the tomato cages. He can pet her more on day eleven, adding some head pets to the usual chest stroking. On day twelve, Piper perched on Tommy’s finger for the first time to eat out of her new feeder.

The little hummingbird is beginning to trust Tommy and even seeks him out.
Befriending A Hummingbird: A Continuing Journey
On day 13, Tommy ordered his little friend a bird bath. Apparently, she has a boyfriend who began exhibiting signs of jealousy. She might be nesting soon. On day 15, she allowed Tommy’s son to pet her. On day 16, Piper wasn’t around, so Tommy gave fans a tour of his extensive garden. Days passed with small steps each day. On day 19, they met a large red dragonfly.
Tommy’s fans sent Piper a dainty little perch. She seems to love it. They are on day 23 of this journey. Tommy has successfully befriended the hummingbird and now qualifies as a Disney Princess: Lover of Animals. We don’t write the rules. His fans bestowed him with the title. Follow Tommy on TikTok to watch future installments.
Please share this incredible journey of patience.
