Location
I took this photo on my balcony. His name was Oscar. He did mind me getting close to him. Sometime I teased him by putting my hand on the perch of his feeder. I guess he knew I never mean to harm him, so he would perch on my hand and continue drinking his sugar water. Sadly he passed away a few years back, he flew back from wherever he was and died on my hand. I buried him under my window.Time
