They move so fast that human eyes see only a hovering spot of color, a blur of wings. But when frozen in time by high-speed cameras, hummingbirds yield their secrets.

Hummingbirds live exclusively in the Americas. The smallest can weigh less than two grams. The largest, the giant hummingbird found in Peru and Chile, tips the scales at around 20 grams. You could send something that weight in the U.S. mail with a single first-class stamp. World’s smallest birds is just one of several distinctions that hummingbird species claim. They’re the only birds that can hover in still air for 30 seconds or more. They’re the only birds with a “reverse gear”-that is, they can truly fly backward. And they’re the record holders for the fastest metabolic rate of any vertebrate on the planet.

First off, unicorns are not real. Second, they are just horses with a bone sticking out of the head. They are overrated and boring.

I like how people say unicorns were not real. It's a joke. They clearly were real. It's not that hard for a horse to grow a horn. Just look at all the other life on this planet. A fish that goes in your weener. Thats a thing, but a horse with a horn is too far-fetched.
I cried watching this. Hummingbirds are so beautiful and so special. Whenever I felt the most broken about losing my dad, he’s sent me a hummingbird to remind me that he’s still with me. I will always respect these tiny little messengers. ♥️

ultimate hummingbirf and beatiful slow motion
I'm about 5years late, but couldn't just not tell you how absolutely breathtaking this footage is. What you have managed to capture in this 2minute video is truly perfect in so many ways it's hard for to describe how I feel, what I see, and how it Resonates so intently that it moves my soul. As many others have expressed, hummingbirds hold a special, sacred place in my heart and in my world. So from every bit of that heart, thank you for this mesmerizing, awe inspiring, spiritual, pure, complex, simple and healing perspective of the hummingbird.

Be careful in using the name of the Creator in vain, if you have no respect for Him nor regard Him as Lord, you will be punished eternally in the lake of fire. You can laugh at this and shrug it off if you'd like, but death is coming for us all -sooner than we think. Repent of your blasphemy and come to Christ for forgiveness or you will be burned alive for all eternity, in your shame and loss and darkness forever. It’s coming for you. Every day you come closer to your doom.

Came here expecting some atheists in the thread, and wasn't wrong haha. it's not like God and evolutionism are mutually exclusive, just saying. Anyway I respect your points of view, so let's not get too heated up and stay civilized.
Im so glad I got to listen to Anand Varma, the videographer, tell his story of the creative design needed to perfect this shot. The video turned out exceptionally well done and just proves nature is truly breathtaking.

I was moved to tears watching this stunning hummingbird. Just so beautiful. Thank you
thank you for this work. just simply amazing. nature, evolution, biologic adaptation, such a beautiful example of how nature innovates, such an immersive experience of what it might feel like to be a hummingbird. beautiful little creatures with some very nifty skill sets trying to survive just like the rest of us, how we treat these little guys is a reflection of who we are as a species.

I first saw hummingbirds at my mother in law’s house in the country. She had 4-5 feeders around the patio and they got used to being around people because there was almost always someone sitting out there. They would almost come to you if you’d been around a long time. So beautiful and amazing to watch! We bought our house in 2000 and I started a flower bed right outside the windows where my chair is. They came like crazy and I love watching them in the early evening as they come for dinner! I planted a butterfly bush (but didn’t know they could multiply!) and they loved it. Now I’m not able to take care of them properly due to health issues and after this year, I’m going to totally re-do the area. I’ve got 4 big ones and hundreds of little ones coming up. I don’t know what to do with them all! I hope people will take them instead of me having to put them on the compost pile. I have plans for after this summer and I hope the hummers still come. It’s gotten too far out of hand and kids don’t help old people to earn a little money like when I was a kid. I just hope my hummers like my new plans and keep coming back! I’m mostly housebound these days and it’s very hard to cut the dead ones off of all of them so they stay nice. These are the coolest birds I’ve ever seen! We’re considering moving to a place that’s just one story and, believe it or not, I’ll have to ask potential buyers to keep feeding them. I hadn’t realized how many different kinds there are! This time of year, the wasps won’t stay away so I hope I can find something natural, that won’t hurt them or my flowers but is effective so my hummers can get a good meal before they start their journey south. I’m in Ohio so they have a very long trip to come up here! If you know of something, suggestions are appreciated! I love these beautiful little creatures. They’re great entertainment for all. My 5 year old grandson is amazed by them, just like his mom was when she was little ♥️🕊 God’s creations are just beautiful 🤗🥰
I feel like I know that humming bird personally now. We're good friends
Hummingbird can be the best Helicopter Pilot. Look how steady they hover in the air.
omg... this is wow..
