I really love the design of this 2 1-4" hummingbird brooch, with his fuchsia pink rhinestone head, white pave accents & tiny blue eye on textured goldtone. This bird's long curved beak (w/ slight upper tarnish) is for getting deep inside tiny flowers to draw out the nectar - in Brazilian Portuguese the bird is called beija-flor, which means kiss the flower, I love that romantic name. By Marcel Boucher (1937-1971) item #7863P

Ahhhh! Nice post Jenni.
The graceful wings are particularly beautiful in their movement, Jenni, super brooch !~
Guys you are just too nice to me, so great to hear these kind words in the early a.m, (here). Many thanks for the compliments & luv Roy and Phil
Oh, this little hummingbird is superb Jenni!! We have a lot of hummingbirds in our trees and keep a couple of feeders filled all thru the spring and summer.
You know something Scott, except for on nature documentaries I don't think I've ever seen a real hummingbird, they are so quick & small, and they never go to regular seed feeders just the special sweet ones. It's one of those things if you blink you miss them, like chickadees, when I had a feeder it was so funny to see them drop down quickly for a seed & take it away to eat later
Ken thank you for IDing my Boucher, I had hoped you would as I've noticed on other posts you can do that, love to have that knowledge - I finally recently did get that costume jewelry 202 by Carroll book & saw my Trifari halo basket on the cover you told me about
You're so lucky Thomas to have hummingbirds around, I can imagine them flying at you with those speedy wings & they're tiny right, buzzing around like dragonflies (those we do have, you often have to dodge them)
Thanks friends for the great comments & love

Thanks foseatme for the lovely compliment & kind luv, glad you enjoyed this
Many thanks Karen as always for the luv, glad you liked my hummingbird
Jenni, it's such a pretty thing, but you sure can have real hummingbirds in your backyard. Here in NY we have just one kind, the Ruby-throated hummers, and they are back as of late April. Buy a hummer feeder, they have them in any home-improvement store or internet (make sure it's easy to take apart and clean- some of them can be frustrating!). Mix sugar and water in 1:4 ratio (i do 1/4 cup sugar: 1 cup water so it doesn't have to sit in a fridge too long), fill the feeder, put it out and wait. It's a good time to see a bunch of them now before they start nesting, as they do come less frequently in June-July but come back like crazy in August-September before they go back to warmer climates. I even managed to take semi-decent close-up pictures of them in the past. Happy hummingburding!! =)
Anna how lovely to have hummingbirds around, esp the ruby throated are so beautiful, somewhere I have a porcelain plate with one flying into a pink hibiscus flower, one of my fave things. I do know it's possible to see them in NY as several folks nearby have the sugar feeders, it's just that I personally have never been fortunate enough to see one, and have seen on TV how beautiful their iridescent little bodies are - will have to follow your advice & make my own feeder & keep a lookout. Where I live now, eastern Long Island, the most populous bird is the red winged blackbird, who are very protective of their nests around now & send threatening cries every time you walk past! Many thanks for the kind comment & the love Anna, and hope to see a post of your hummingbird pix
Glad you liked this leighannrn, many thanks for the kind love
Ive actually used to see hummingbirds quite often, smaller than my thumb..they are the most magical things..beautiful Jenni..:-)
Very glad you liked my hummingbird Penny, thanks so much for the luv
Thank you very much Sean, glad you liked this
This is gorgeous. I love the upraised wings contrasting with the downward slope of his beak.
I give up Jenni, I can't pass this up any more, it's just too nice! :^D I have a little silver Pomegranate tipped salt spoon that I just got, that has the same cluster of fuchsia rhinestones, and every time I see this little Hummingbird Brooch, it reminds me, that I should post it! I love it! Thanks! :^)
Laura thank you so much for the great comment, I liked the sloping look of the beak too so I put the angled photo as my "opener" even tho pic #2 is the most popular pose of this hummer brooch - oftentimes you get surprised looking at your pix as to what angle came out better
Bill, really glad you liked this it's always great hearing from you, & I hope you will be posting that fuchsia tipped salt spoon in future
Thank you Laura & Bill 4 the kind loves
