Thank you those of you who appreciated my art. Who ever mentioned giving me credit thank you bunches as well..good move. May I clarify some of the myth here. The image is not photoshoped, it is a single frame digital capture captured in a single moment in time in my garden by me. The hummingbird, I do not believe, is injesting or feeding on the cannabis. They fly up to just about any flower in my garden searching for food. They do not stay long on the cannabis nor usually do not return to it. Which makes capturing images like this extremely dificult. More images can be found simply by Googling me. Be well..DoobieDuck

doobieduck hahaha.. I 100% thought this was someone commenting to be funny

[–]doobieduck 9 points10 points ago

No sorry..not funny, a lot of work capturing images like that. I get a keeper shot one out of about 400 frames..peace..DD

[–]TheNr24 4 points5 points ago

Too bad there's nothing for sale in your store at the moment. I'd love to have this picture as a poster, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Congrats on the beautiful pictures. This one made me drool. I also love the macro shots of the trichomes.

(Parts of your site don't render correctly for me though, it looks like this or this for example.)

[–]doobieduck 2 points3 points ago

NR many thanks for pointing those site errors out. I don't know what is wrong, I'll be working on it again very soon. I'd love to get some prints up soon for Peeps to. I'm contemplating an eBook in the near future.....Jeff

[–]brizzi 0 points1 point ago

daaang what are you shooting with?

[–]doobieduck 1 point2 points ago

These were with a Canon 20D and I believe my Sigma 105mm lens. It is the lighting that is critical to shoot as fast as possible. Jeff

[–]brizzi 1 point2 points ago

yay canon

[–]SlyyyTendencies[S] 14 points15 points ago

Wow, this post really blew up! I haven't checked back on it until just now. DoobieDuck deserves all credit for this. I'm just glad I came across his great shot and could share with my fellow redditors. Hope you all have a splendid day! Keep up the good work Jeff!

[–]doobieduck 2 points3 points ago

Thanks Slyyy, my work is well know worldwide with-n the cannabis community, my health prevents me from promoting and selling it right now. Sharing it as you have done is appreciated, Jeff

[–]doobieduck 4 points5 points ago

Thanks Milehigh..I was notified on another site but my images come up all over the web. I've started adding copyright tags to them now so they can be recognised..cheers..DD

[–]Couugghhing 213 points214 points ago

Folklore has it that when a humming bird feasts on cannibis its wings slow down enough to where you can see the wings flapping [4]

[–]IamTooDamHigh 39 points40 points ago

I also hear that on rare occasions, if the humming bird senses your high it will engage in conversation with you and give you words of wisdom.

So what would a coked out hummingbird look like? Would he beat his wings so fast to tear a hole in the fabric of space and time? or just be invisible?

[–]underweargnome04 4 points5 points ago

read this really quick... thought you said "wings fapping"

[–]JustTryingToMakeIt 1 point2 points ago

My eyewitness account says that when doves fly out of a marijuana patch they look like disoriented flying rubber chickens.

[–]jakemg 7 points8 points ago

This isn't nearly as cool as we want it to be. The psychoactive substances in marijuana are activated by heat (burning, cooking, vaporizing). You can eat raw marijuana all day to little or no effect.

I'm such a buzzkill.

[–]EskimoPrisoner 1 point2 points ago

So in mOvies when people have to suddenly eat all their stuff like if a cop pulls them over, they wouldn't really trip balls?

Thanks MileHigh for the credit. It's rather easy to find my imagery on the web..just Google DoobieDuck or visit my site doobieduck.com..be well..DD

[–]OktopuzZz 3 points4 points ago

Is this photoshoped or they really like cannabis?

[–]cwmoo740 4 points5 points ago

I'm not sure, but I do know that chickens fucking love cannabis. My parents raise chickens and also have a permit for medical marijuana and keeping the chickens out of the weed is just impossible. They nibble at those plants 24/7. I've never been able to figure out a way to tell if the chickens are high or not though, since they just run in circles and peck and scratch at the ground anyway.

[–]WhiteMatter 3 points4 points ago

Having a pet chicken would be awesome

[–]Tercellerator 3 points4 points ago

a friend of mine had chickens. he said roosters were the biggest assholes of any living thing he'd ever encountered, and you have to be wary of shit like fishers coming in and murdering every last one of them in a single night. this is what happened to his chickens.

[–]WhiteMatter 4 points5 points ago

Or foxes!

[–]GiornaGuirne 1 point2 points ago

Guinea hens can fly up into trees to escape, but they also like to keep a territory around a known food source. They lay eggs and even eat ticks (if you have a problem with them. They're everywhere in the mid-atlantic... no fishers, though).

[–]bad_possum 1 point2 points ago

I would bet they like to lick on the bud and get that sweetness. I have seen a group of dozens of hummingbirds all among the tops of pine trees at a certain time of year apparently licking up something they liked from the pine needles.

[–]zombieeathart 4 points5 points ago

I don't know if I'd like to see a high hummingbird...

[–]VitalyO 1 point2 points ago

that bird is about to get blaaaazed

[–]rebelxwaltz 1 point2 points ago

can i find a high res version of this anywhere?

[–]gedSGU 1 point2 points ago

that actually makes me wonder, How does Cannabis naturally get pollinated ? By bees ??

[–]diggerB 2 points3 points ago

I'm no botanist, but my suspicion is that it gets pollinated any way that it can. Bees and other insects, pollen from male plants just floating in the air, hummingbirds...

[–]josh1238 4 points5 points ago

I have no sources but if my memory serves me well the pollen is light enough to be carried pretty far by the wind

[–]BaadKitteh 2 points3 points ago

Sounds legit; I know that you only need one male plant for a whole lot of females, and having more is bad, so it stands to reason wind would do it.

[–]BloodshotHippy 5 points6 points ago

Marijuana is pollinated by the wind. There doesnt even need to be a male. What can happen is a hermaphrodite plant. Both the pollen sacs and buds on the same plant. Under certain conditions the plant will turn hermy, especially from stress. Source: I've grown the shit for more then a decade.

[–]BloodshotHippy 1 point2 points ago

Also you dont want any males at all. After you sex them out, KILL THE MALES. They are only good for making butter. Sensi bud, no seeds, is more potent. This is because more of the plants energy went into making buds, instead of the energy being used to produce the seeds.

[–]thecolournerd 1 point2 points ago

well, it's a weed (else how'd we come up with the moniker?) So that makes sense - think of dandelions and how much they can spread in a short period of time.

[–]sexytime26 1 point2 points ago

And now the humming bird is high too.

[–]Morgan19 1 point2 points ago

Bird gon' get so hai

[–]ilovekale 1 point2 points ago

Bird seed companies used to put cannabis seeds in pet bird seed mix, bc it made birds, especially canaries sing prettier. Pretty cool little fact. That also seriously aided the spread of natural growing weed plants (seeds in bird shit/household trash).

[–]radio_breathe 1 point2 points ago

"feasting on cannabis" is what I am going to start calling smoking now [3]

[–]ab2g 1 point2 points ago

True story. In the old times, in Morocco, bee keepers used to keep marijuana plants close to their bee colonies. Why you ask? Because it gives the honey a very soothing, calming effect

Actually, a lot of animals will eat wild cannabis is it's readily available. However, I doubt this hummingbird was actually ingesting anything, because I believe cannabis yields little to no nectar. But don't quote me on that.

This is an edited photo. No animals would eat raw cannabis, it's impossible to digest in that form and that is indeed a female plant so it has no pollen or nectar for the bird to feed
