Wake up call at 6:45am, friendly neighborhood alarm clock! Dlive #9

AHHH!!!! Yess, we love motmots and hummingbirds! Truthfully @ecoinstante could love the greyest dove seemingly equally, but of course I love the colorful ones and the ones with personalities!

We have a beautiful couple of motmots, the aequatorialis, that live in a cliff on the edge of our farm, they frequently come up and dance and talk to each other looking for fruit and insects. They are like complete alien visitors, talking in their strange language, it is so amazing and beautiful, we always stop whatever we are doing, entranced.

My patio is surrounded by fruit trees, vines and flowers. So I am visited by hummingbirds frequently and the motmots and parrots love my papaya! I have yet to eat one of my pitaya as the birds always eat them from the backside where I don't notice the neat little hole! LOL

How fantastic is that! How large is the area you have enclosed? Are we talking small garden or hacienda?

I don't know if you are familiar with a Manzana (no, not the apple) but we have about one Manzana or just under a hectare but over an acre of land walled. We have more land but it is not under the protection of the wall. Or it is a large garden area with a house, a two-story rancho under construction and a small guest house. We also have a larger pond and a really small one too. It is not a huge area, but it is not small either.
