  We have lived in Pacot for the past six years and for five years I have
been
feeding those little aggressive beasts called colibri, oiseau-mouche,
waganeges
or humming birds, the "big" ones with orange tail feathers and the small
green
ones. They don't seem to mind people at all. I can stand right next to the
feeder and they come anyway, sometimes flying around my face as if
wondering
what I am. Anyway, they seem abundant here in Port-au-Prince.
  On the more important subject of deforestation, I have been trying to
get
some big Canadian companies interested in the seeding of trees in the
mountains
of Ayiti, under the Kyoto Protocol that Canada has signed. If any of you
have
bright ideas on this subject, please let me know.
