Pure white Hummingbird... Had to share with yall!

[Beman]

Ok but I need a 3 bedroom house in the compound. I do not want any part of breeding the bugs though. I can grow some plants for gutload but they may get overtaken with pests.... hmmmmm Can my job be chameleon cage decorating? I am good at spending money on the enclosures and everything that goes into them

Also @Beman this hummingbird was just a sign for you that you're going to have good luck with your new boy coming in to your home

We will leave the bugs to the experts, and we will do what we do best, loving on our chams and cooing over how cute the babies are, because obviously we will have our breeders in the compound as well

You know it was kinda funny because last night I was thinking about names... I stole the name Falcor from @CamoChameleonsHuman for my next Cham so I was thinking about that name for lil man but I was like no he is not white like Falcor but he is a little luck dragon... Because I feel lucky to have him. Then I get this white hummingbird greeting me this morning lol.

So I was outside this morning and saw this little beauty in the tree hovering between the flowers. I have never ever seen a white one and I thought y'all would get a kick out of it! Happy Thursday may you be blessed with a fantastic day!

This is what I found when I googled white hummingbird.
Leucistic Hummingbirds: Leucistic hummingbirds have black eyes, bills and feet, and their feathers may be pure white, whitish, off-white, partially-white, tan, or gray instead of the normal colors for that species. These are somewhat rare, but not as rare as the true albino hummingbird.

Hard to see from the pics but it looks like it have a light coloured bill and feet. So maybe a true albino?

Would you feed him one?

 

[jamest0o0]

Would you feed him one?

Lol I'd worry too much about parasites... and I'd probably be a softy and feel bad for the bird

Haha, there was actually a video from a couple years ago. A member here had an anole get into his melleri greenhouse. Got on video the mellers snatching it. Pretty brutal

 

[jamest0o0]

And the Parsons have extremely strong jaws. Luckily they are very chill, at least mine is. An adult could give you a nasty bite

I think I need to find this video

 

[jamest0o0]

Look up Jpowell I think that's his username. He used to be on here a lot. Very experienced keeper, puts a lot of us to shame

Thanks definitely will look for it. I love expanding my knowledge of chameleons. Most interesting creatures to me
