Wax buildup is a problem for some people's ears, and although chewing action is supposed to be nature's way of dealing with the problem, there's nothing as satisfying as a good old wriggle with your little finger.

Trouble is, some people have large fingers, and doctors do not recommend putting solid foreign objects in to clean your ears.

Enter the personal grooming hummingbird. Trained on a diet of nectar and earwax, this helpful fellow will hover by your head and thoroughly clean your ears with its long soft tongue. Soothing and relaxing!

LOL thanks for the illos, FarmerJohn (and coincidentally, I really do look something like that)

I gotta ask... chewing gets rid of ear wax? Never heard that before. I like the idea of the birds, and the picture is great!
