Personal grooming hummingbird
A 'natural' way to deal with waxy buildup in your ears

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 smiley%20with%20birds 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!

       Now what am I going to use to grease my gun with?

       What would I do with my ardvark?   

       I *knew* the woodpecker was a mistake

       I suppose my Q-tip dispensing box is now also obsolete.

       What do you call an aardvark that keeps getting beaten up by it's mates? A vark.

       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!

       Might not need training, if you painted your ears to look like flowers.
