Wind Up Toy

Tiny dancer upon the air flits and flaps buzzing slaps of wings against a light breeze. A wind-up toy, a filling station for nature’s nectar a buzzing fluttering mechanism of delightful elation, is a hummingbird.

I was picturing a three year old ballerina instantly, but was delighted to see hummingbird as the surprise.
