I Have Heard Of Horses Whisperers,

even cat or dog whisperers,


but I have never heard of a hummingbird whisperer, until now, photographer Melanie Barboni, was raised in Switzerland where hummingbirds are practically non-existent and she only read about them in books, when she started working as an assistant researcher at at UCLA’s Earth, Planetary and Space Science Program, she dreamt of seeing humming birds,

two years and several feeders later, she estimates there are over 200 birds that now stop by her window every day, over 50 of which she’s bestowed with names because she can recognise them on sight, 

She likens the view from her office at UCLA as a dream come true, a place that she’s referred to as The Hummingbird Whisperer, how amazing.
