Human of the city

Oh Natty, I miss hummingbirds.  I really do.  We don't get hummingbirds around here, they are native to the Americas only.  They never got around to crossing the ocean I guess, even though it would be a cinch for them to cross into Siberia in summer.  After all, they cross the Bay of Mexico in one non-stop flight.  When I lived in Tempe, I had a hummingbird feeder on my porch.  Then a female built a nest on a branch close to my front door.  Then a crazed human female who lived downstairs destroyed the branch, nest and all.  That looks like a scene from the Amazon jungle, am I right?  I don't recall coconut trees growing in the Amazon, but maybe I forgot.  That looks like pure and pristine green, but I don't think humans are cut out to live in the jungle anymore.  Even us rural folk have become too pampered by city ways and conveniences.  Have you ever been in a jungle, Natty?  I know you ventured into tropical beaches before, but have you ever tried to camp in the deep jungle for a few nights?  The jungle sucks.  So many bugs and vermin.  Leeches, snakes, bats, rats, mosquitoes... ugh.  Cooking on a outdoor wood fire has no finesse, and I would miss my toilet very much.  You would probably learn how to survive, but I bet you would lose much of your beauty due to the stress.  We need the jungle yes, but we humans do not want to live in such an "aboriginal" manner anymore.  What do you think?  I think I want to pamper and love you, and give you the best life I can, and keep you as naturally beautiful as long as possible at the same time.  InshaAllah.  Oh by the way, please don't get me anything for Christmas.  Muslims don't celebrate Christmas.  Muslims celebrate the fasting month of Ramadan, and the 2 Eids.
