"I don't care if that's how the flowers get pregnant, it's smut!"

I still want a "True Facts: Jerry" video one of these days...

We found a hummingbird on the ground today. He wasn't really moving, and my mother asked if he was sick, injured or dead. But thanks to this video, I have a feeling he might've just been in torpor. So I nudged him a bit- he was stuck really hard to the ground, and twitched just a little in response to being touched. So I looked up what to do with a bird in torpor, and dad kept him warm. He's currently sitting in a makeshift nest on the back patio, with a tiny bowl of sugar water and a heating pad to keep him warm in the winter cold. He's a lot more active now, eating the sugar water, and making a recovery pretty quickly. So thank you Zefrank, you helped me save a bird's life!

"But of course, a well-hung feeder is the motherlode. ...Freud would have a field day with that sentence, Jerry. You need help." I cannot get over the banter. It's so good.

Not even 50 secs and he's already got 4 jokes out he is on fire.

"Don't do drugs. Not a lot of them, anyway. Everything in moderation. Except moderation."

If all education was this fun, the world would be full of geniuses.

Every line in this video is a quote worth laughing at. My favorite is the "I mean if you had your own wind tunnel you'd put all kinds of crap in--not a baby! Not mayonnaise! But definitely the butt feathers of a bird."

About 20 years ago, we had 3 feeders up for humming birds and routinely had more than a dozen feeding at the same time. It was amazing, like watching WWI aerial combat scenes. They seemed much more interested in fighting the others off than in feeding. The encounters often produced these loud reports, like maybe hitting two pieces of hardwood together, it was wing-contact! They are vicious mfers for sure.

"It is a vicious bicyc- Jerry, it's cycle; it's not short for bicycle."
-
"You don't just wake up one day and want to deep-tongue a flower." Speak for yourself, Zefrank.
-
My mother is obsessed with hummingbirds, and I don’t think she will ever like anything more than this video...“For science.”
-
"I'm not busting on Toledo, I'll leave that to the hummingbirds. Sorry." Got me. Full out laughing, yet again.
-
My late husband loved to argue with me that hummingbirds could never (or did never) stop flying or flittering..But I had to prove it to him,as I saw them roost in my mesquite tree many times where my feeders hung.They do stop,they will just sit on a branch and rest.

“Jerry, that’s a moth...” Moth: :(

"It's like MMA, but on a trapeze, and with swords; it's a Jet Li movie."

The beauty of ZeFrank is that you actually ENJOY being educated. I'm now thinking how fascinating hummingbirds are and how much they could teach us about conditions like diabetes
