The hummingbird is trying to put out a fire while being told by the others that it is way too small to fight it… The fire the little bird is facing – as many challenges for humanity – can be overpowering. Small changes seem insignificant, and we certainly cannot be perfect, being human entails making mistakes. But the hummingbird is trying, it is doing the best it can.
