Taking care Bananaquit chicks

 A few days ago, a cousin of mine found in backyard banaquit a nest with 2 chicks. As did not see the parents decided to take them to his home and fed with baby food and has resulted. Now the chicks have feathers and soon will be ready for them to be released. I loved this because my cousin has only 10 years and is already interested in birds, few of their age are interested in birds and the environment here in Puerto Rico.

Not just for the birds

Something caught my attention is the presence of lizards in my hummingbird feeder. Apparently for these nectar feeders is not just for birds. I observed several species of lizards in my backyard. But this particular species, the Anolis stratulus, they love this nectar, and I have counted up to 5 in one nectar feeder. I try to find a little more information about this lizard, but not found much. I found nothing to explain to me why he likes both this nectar. But still I find it interesting.
