Everybody secretly hopes they can one day embody a Disney Princess, if only for their seemingly innate connection with animals.

This adorable creature decided to drop by YouTube user Justine Maresca's hummingbird feeder when it suddenly decided her finger was a preferable perch over the feeder's plastic ring.

While hummingbirds are generally skittish, this one seemed right at home on Maresca's finger.

Throughout the video, Maresca verbally encourages the bird to fly away, but the little guy seems perfectly content hanging out and getting pet!

"He stayed for a long time and I wasn't sure if he was scared so I was trying to encourage him to fly away," Maresca wrote in the video description.

If you have a fine eye, around 1:03 you can see the bird's friend checking in on them!
