The following story is in fact 100% true!
Yesterday, I just took Konnor to preschool, Kaylee was already at school, Kyle was at work, so it was just Kase and I. We were out in the yard, he was playing and I was pulling weeds. It was getting close to nap time (my holy hour!) so we came inside. The door was open, but the weather was nice, I didn't mind too much. I noticed he had a stinky diaper so I layed him down in the usual spot, and then I heard it--... I heard someone or something was INSIDE the house! It was a loud bang, and a weird shooshy, fluttery sound. I told Kase to stay where he was, so the brave mom (that's me), went to see who was in the house with us. I turned the corner and I saw him!
A beautiful hummingbird fluttering at my arch window!!!!! He was gorgeous! He had a purple neck and bright green on his back and he had a really long beak! I told Kase to come see and then sit on the couch while I tried to shoe him out. The bird didn't budge. So I went and got the broom, because the window was quite high. I tried to nudge him, but he didn't go anywhere. I said out loud, "come on sweetie, I won't hurt you." He looked at me and stopped fluttering. I layed the brisltes to the broom flat to the ledge where he was perched, and said, "come on little guy... hop on the broom and I will take you outside." He LOOKED at me! Then he hopped on the broom!!!!!! Astonished, I said, "hold on, I will take you outside." He stayed on my broom through the house, and out the door, and through the yard all the way to my lilac bush!!!! I put the broom down gently to the bush, but he stayed there on my broom. I said to him, "Its ok, you can hop off onto this bush now." He LOOKED AT ME again, and then hopped off!!! Just like he knew EXACTLY what I was saying! ha ha ha Luckily, I looked over and saw my next door neighbors outside watching me talk to my new pet hummingbird! lol I am so thankful they saw... nobody in their right mind would have believed this crazy story if I didn't have some witnesses! THEN, they walked over to see the pretty little guy, and we were standing just about 2 feet away from him, they took pics of him, and then we named him "PePe!" ha ha.
I told Pepe, that he could fly away if he was ready to leave, worried he may be hurt... But nope, he LOOKED at me again and flew off as fast as the wind just as though he knew exactly what I said!
My neighbor Karl, called me the "Hummingbird Whisperer"!!! ha ha
Having a Hummingbird INSIDE your house has GOT to be some kind of good luck right?!! Not to mention, a perfectly obedient hummingbird named PEPE! ha ha Good times, good times!

That is so crazy and so amazing at the same time!
LOVE! :)
That is amazing. I would've been freaking out. :)
Wow! That must have been such a cool experience. Too bad you couldn't keep him as a pet. You could have told him to do some dusting or help you get dressed (like Cinderella).
Whoa. I thought at first you were going to say there was a burglar in your house! Phew!
I've never been able to get a hummingbird to even stay by me for more than one second, let alone look at me and take a ride on a broom! Holy cow, that's cool!
