I think it pissed on her hand. But maybe she's into that shit.

Honestly to get the chance to hold a baby hummingbird, I'd let it piss on me too.

I have hummingbird feeders. Recently I was peeing in my garden and one flew thru my stream.

Does that make me a Disney princess?

Unrelated, I actually have had a songbird alight upon my finger early one morning while watching the sunrise. I screamed and hurled it back into the sky.

Forgivable because it's a baby

Do birds piss like that? I thought they just made urates like snakes?

I thought about that but then I remembered that what comes out of newborn humans is really weird so I thought hatchlings might also?
