Woman Develops Bond With Over 200 Hummingbirds, Now They Complain If She’s Late To Feed Them


Meet Melanie Barboni, an assistant researcher in the UCLA Earth, Planetary and Space Science program, who is also known as the ‘hummingbird whisperer’. She built a community of 200 hummingbirds who live outside her office and come to complain if she’s late to serve their dinner.
