Bev, just think how slow we must appear to hummingbirds. 
Plants do move, they just (usually) move very slowly.

Where I lived in the city there was one family on the 
block that was always fighting, throwing their furniture 
out on the lawn, breaking windows, husband hitting wife, 
children being removed by protective services, etc. Over 
the eleven years I lived there I noticed all their trees 
began growing, leaning away from their house.

I had a vine in my kitchen window that I tried to train 
around a looped coat hanger, but every day it would unwind 
itself and move away from the coat hanger and the light 
(!) I thought it might not like the temperature changes in 
the metal. Finally I got some rattan and it stayed.
