Summary[edit]

| Description |
Along the path near the Carousel. Like all Zoos, this is also a tended, pubic, garden, with a mix of native and not-native plants. Local, native, and not-native, animals take advantage of the grounds, so it is also a form of nature preserve. Both the plants and animals are subjected to human intervention, opposing or encouraging them, so this isn't a wilderness preserve. But this is a wild hummingbird, born in a place its parents chose and surviving on its wits. Nature has suited it to a life of pollen and nectar gathering, but it has no evident retirement or medical support. It will live until old age, disease, a lucky predator or an unintended interaction with us and our world end its life. It benefits from plants, water supply and fire-suppression we provide, and there is a non-zero chance humans might intervene for its good, but nothing one would count on. We are connected, but anonymous. |
