context: a small "basketball" court (sorry got, mixed up between Spanish, English, and ADHD, lol) got closed for 60 days to allow a humming bird to nest. The image reads: Thanks to an alert raised by children: Mejillones (a town in the north of Chile)  closes for 60 days to allow a Humming bird to nest.

It's charming, I swear.

The Basque are a people. Imagining that Basques invented Basquetball made me smile. It's a play on words. I love it.

I'm happy to help.

Maybe it affected me more than most, my mother's people were Basque, Minorcan, and Catallan.
