Restoring Flight

Yesterday was a normal day at the MMS office until Dwight came through my work area during "break time", and informed me that Mike was feeding a Humming Bird. Curiosity got the better of me and needing a break from stuffing envelopes, I followed Dwight outside to see how this was possible.

There I found some curious mechanics gathered around Mike Dunkley who had a small feeder in one hand and a Humming Bird perched on the other. Now before you think that Mike is the ultimate bird tamer, you need to know that this cute little bird was rescued (almost dead) out of the hangar and was too weak to fly. We watched in fascination as it slowly regained its strength and eventually flew away. At MMS, we are accustomed to restoring airplanes to flight, but I believe this is the first time we have restored a bird to fly!!!!
