Nature can be beautiful and wonderful (flowers, trees, the sunrise and sunset), or pesky and a little revolting (worms, ticks, bees, spiders), depending on how you look at it. Some see birds as a fascinating and beautiful part of nature, while others simply focus on the white stain dripping down their car windshield. Regardless of how you look at them, wildlife experts are asking the public to please check for tiny eggs in the greenery around their homes, before they begin to prune this year.
The experts at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceare responsible for protecting our ecosystem each and every day. Spring time is especially important, because it's when many animals reproduce. That's why the USFWA shared some springtime tips on their Facebook page, to warn everyone about what to do and what not to do, should they stumble upon a hummingbird nest.
The post has been shared more than 265,000 times from Facebook users that are trying to help keep hummingbirds safe. The USFWS added a powerful photo to their post, showing just how small a hummingbird's nest and eggs really are.
They wrote, "Hummingbird eggs are tiny, about the size of jelly beans! Please remember to carefully check for nests before you trim trees and shrubs this spring."
