- Watch and listen to a charm of Rufous Hummingbirds being hand fed and be amazed by their agility, impressed by their extraordinary flight skills, and made aware of just how small these fascinating creatures actually are. These adorable little birds will steal your heart!
Wearing headphones enhances the POV experience, allowing you to hear them flying all around you and whizzing past your head.
Hummingbirds: I can drink AND sit? Genius!
They cant sit long their hearts will stop ;)
@@dimitrios0072 i think that is a myth.
@@radical_democracy Correcto
@@dimitrios0072 thats a myth...because they also sleep during their lives.
@@dimitrios0072 uh no?
It’s fascinating how they can just “hang” in the air perfectly balanced in one place. Only the wings work. The rest of the body stands still.
It's really pretty, They look like standing in the air.
And the tail
Yes! It's so otherworldly. I've never seen this before or thought it's possible. 😮🤩🙂
@Rohan Vidhate Oh, I see. Thank you for this information. 🙂
The sound effect they're making.
Can we just give the credit to this man for holding his hand still for two minutes without even quivering.
And 12 seconds
While holding the camera
I might have just been too scared to move!
@@ruckusisagoodboy then it was not you?
@@ruckusisagoodboy understandable - you were in grave danger!
This makes me realize how small hummingbirds actually are
There r some that r actually smaller. Theyre beautiful little birds
Imagine if there was a bug the size of a hummingbird flying around like that
Hummingbirds are so small that praying mantises sometimes hunt them!
True dat. They look the same size as the palm of your hand
Yes
“Damn, that’s one weird looking flower.”

DasDas how the hell did you do that
Fun fact: Hummingbirds move their wings in a infinity symbol motion, this is what allows hummingbirds to be the only birds that can fly upside-down and backwards
Finally, an actual fun fact
@@Qw3rtYzStuff *insert gordon ramsay meme*
@LIDL Tubson because it takes up a lot of energy to do that
@LIDL Tubson Hummingbirds have to eat three times their weight in nectar everyday just to fly this way. Any other bird that tried this with what they eat would get to heavy to fly.
@LIDL Tubson lidl allt annaat är olidligt
The bird at 1:54 woke up and just chose violence. Then looked at the camera and was like “and I’ll do it again” lol
😂
Yooo hood nature refrence
The Aztecs believed that hummingbirds were reincarnated fallen warriors.
Wow
This bottle cap is like a 5 star restaurant for them because they usually fly from flower to flower to flower and never stop flying
Bete tune to moj karde😂😂🎶

yeah not much free time for these little fellows
@@Papa_Straight Google translate.
@@Rickfernello yeah who tf google translates a yt comment?
Imagine hearing one flying next to you at night and sprinting away thinking it’s some sort of giant hornet
Totally not me reaching 270 mph on foot everytime I hear a low-pitched buzzing noise
Hummingbirds don't fly in dark.
Y e s
That might’ve been a hummingbird hawk moth. They look alike at a glance and tend to come out during the later hours
@@neilneil4021 sometimes they do. I’ve seen one at night near my house on the 4th
1:48
"this is weird looking flower..."
Camera : im not a flower
lol:)
I love how hummingbird can stay perfectly still while flying.
They are the smallest birds ever and flap their wings a thousand times in seconds!
The level of control these little dudes have over their position and momentum is insane. Perfectly levitating, but able to quickly jump to another spot instantly.
They move the same as hover flys which is odd to see a bird moving like an insect.
@@legobrickabrac it's amazing how nature is
their wings beat 1000 times per min bruh. Thats way more than enough for their weight class. Its pretty obvious that they can maneuver through air however they like.
They can fly upside down too
And that wingspeed is exactly why
I don't think I've ever seen a hummingbird stop and sit until just now.
I have a few times.
Hummingbird fact, they need to feed on nectar aprox every 10 minutes due to their body metabolism being as fast as it is due to their heartbeat
If you have feeder with perches, they’ll sit all day. I had never seen it prior as well. Now they just sit and fight over the feeders. Lol
They do all the time. There’s a tree in my backyard that has 20+ on it at all times. But if you look at trees closely you will see some chillin out. Just hard to see so smol
Had one hovering right in front of my face I was drinking a coffee and the thing was right in front of me kept looking at my coffee
these mini helicopters are so adorable
First time I've gotten to hear the buzzing they make! They sound like giant bumblebees!
I guess you must do this fairly often, or they have no real fear of people. Such a great moment to capture!
The only thing a hummingbird fears is another hummingbird and these young ones especially, are not shy at all.
I remember my mom bought a hummingbird feeder and when I was fixing it up I heard those wings beating and it freaked me out because I thought that I was being attacked by giant bugs.
Lol 😂
Cant blame you
maybe you were lmao
🤣

No matter its size, hummingbirds are some of the most awe-inspiring creatures to see in the backyard.
they're beautiful but honestly remembering their feeding habits kinda terrify me, because to facilitate their physiology they apparently starve to death if they go 3 to 5 hours without food, not to mention they generally have to eat every 20 minutes to keep themselves filled up, they're wonderful but that's ridiculous
@@unculturedswine5583 Indeed. My neighborhood has lots of flowering plants, so they’re doing very well around here.
@@unculturedswine5583 ,
I am not sure about that. Just last summer I filmed a hummingbird right outside my living room. Uploaded the video to FB and said I was surprised to see them so far in the north (Michigan here). Someone told me it’s normal, cos they can even fly cross Gulf of Mexico. I did some research after I saw it. It’s true. They can build up a fat reserve to fly for hundreds miles. That means the constantly feeding or die can’t be true. I uploaded the video to my RUclips as well.
And cute!

And be disgusted
1:54 one of the hummingbirds bites the other 💀
He said move the fuck outta the way
Every time I watch a video like this I get really happy. Watching them up close and interacting with them makes me happy at a spiritual level.
1:48 That hummingbird is like "whatcha doin'? Are you recording us?"

The world must look so laggy from their perspective
yeah their wings beat so fast that you kinda can't see their wings so you only see a levitating body and tail
Imagine how fast it beats when they mate.
@@dannyboygregory-mccormick9157 😳
holy shit dude i wanna see a laggy hummingbird
Heart beat or wing beat?
After much drink they engage in their little jousts. Perfect little creatures.
Hummingbirds are so magical to me. idk why.
Because the are!
I love how they are all talking to each other like "Yo is it safe" XD
You’re right! Cause it’s not! If the juice gets on their feathers and they are unable to clean it, it can be lethal. There should be a cap with a hole. 🙏🏼❤️
@@julieheiss7758 lmao get out of the internet
@@julieheiss7758 They’re still landing on it willingly and safely. If they’re clumsy enough to somehow fall in, they’d have never survived in the wild anyways.
@@purpleemerald5299*yeah because of natural selection*
Y’all literally have no idea. It’s ok. Knowledge is power.
A bit over 2 minutes break from the real world... this is bliss.
This is the real world :) I wish we were all a part of it more
This planet is filled with amazing creatures, we spend trillions on technology to look for alien life and this planet is blessed with such diverse life. Those birds are magnificent.
Word!
One like and heart for hummingbird ❤️
The sound they are making is amazing
And the way they fly is unlike any bird I’ve ever seen. They move more like bugs than birds.
@@tiagoprieto7072 and sounds like bees, but interesting
If you ever seen one in person, you may barely see them, idk if this video is slowed down. But the sound is way louder, like a drone helicopter or a bullet whizzing past your head if you've ever had that happen
hele-bird
They look like flies 😅
Lol the one flying from the cup to the camera at 1:48 like “can you get him off there please?? Ugh every. time.”
I was thinking the same thing. He even poked him a couple times like, dude, seriously? You gonna just sit there all day?
I‘m pretty sure in the end they harassed him for being so egotistical...
That was so cool. 😎
I love hummingbirds ! My favorite bird !
Mine too!
Feeding hummingbirds is like a meditation and quite satisfying too but that requires tons of patience so that you don't scare birds
It sounds like they're chanting, "Om" when they hover.
It's no wonder Jamaica picked a hummingbird as their national bird
Hummingbirds are the cutest of all birds, this is just pure cuteness overload
@@ambitionsskyyyy no...
they're saying the BIRD is cute. A cute bird like that deserves to be the national bird of a country
Why do I see you everywhere?😂😂
@@theonionsystem7779 I sure hope they’re okay lmao
Also nice pfp :)
is Jaica cute?
I think sparrows and swallows are really cute too.
Even 0.25x can’t comprehend their fast wings.
It's because of the fps
Play speed =/= framerate
@@IgnatianMystic yeah
facepalm
It's almost like they dont have wings when flying
Steady hands. Left and right both!
Hummingbirds is so beautiful and so cute 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😘🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👌👏
The most clever hummingbird, the one who just stopped and sat there
Umm more like not having trust issues)
I love hummingbirds they are so pretty 🤩🤩🤩
They're like flying jewels that dazzle in sunlight.
Me: *Watching the bird sitting*
Other bird: 1:48 "WUTS GOOOOD-!?"
Me: "HOOLY-"
"I had to stand still for 10 years for the birds to trust me that i will cause no harm to them and the honey is free of cost "
Edit : Thankyou for your likes, I have to say this I dint know my comment will get likes soooo I liked my own comment 😂
They're so small, they can't afford too many mistakes. You can't blame them for being cautious.
you obvi werent bold enough you were still but they still saw you probs thought it was a trap
They engage a giant human with huge hands.... Normally they engage lil flowers
Same thought. But I understand the worry in their little brains. I hope to see a bird feeding while sitting on my hand and me taking a clear look at their eyes, feathers etc
Ok they were fool, they thought that you are a living being
I love how one of them gave the camera a little kiss
I just watched this and still cant believe how tiny they are . AMAZING little birds.
Hummingbirds are eye catching 😍
I think so too!
Pros: They’re cute!
Cons: They sound like bugs.
I see this as an absolute win
pros: hehe bees
cons: n/a
they remind me of hornets ;-;
The con isn't a con
That really a con?
It is just mindblowing how fast they can flap there wings.
Amazing how many sheep fall for the hummingbird psyop. Total hoax believed only by total nitwits and sheep
@@ChargeNReact What do hummingbirds do then? Because your obviously more intelligent then every scientist that’s ever walked the Earth.😳
@@wocktivities What do hummingbirds do? They don't because they AREN'T REAL you nitwit.
@@ChargeNReact My eyes must deceive me then. This video must be fabricated by the deepest hand in the government. They must have plans to eradicate every other bird species from the surface of this planet. Is that the evil hummingbird psyop?
This is sarcasm if you couldn’t tell. How did you figure out hummingbirds aren’t real?
@@ChargeNReact take your pills maybe?
I could watch this all day
Merveille de la NATURE !!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩😘😘😘😘
I love humingbirds, they are like a non-horrible mix between fairies and mosquitos
They're jittle jerks tho 😂 when there's a ton of them, it's not as bad, but 3 or 4 in a big yard?
All hell breaks loose.
We have 3 feeders, and a hummer drinking from one will stop what it's doing to chase another away from a different feeder
I've walked outside only to have a loony-toons chase mere feet from my face, both participants squeaking in rage
In 2005 we visited palm springs for our 25th wedding anniversary and were lucky enough to see these magnificent birds in the flesh, being from England, we'd never seen anything like it, a true honour.
They're all over California
About time for you to come back! When able, I mean...
I also wanna feel this moment once in my life...lovely
🤩😍👍Fantastic footage! Thank you for sharing these beautiful birds with us, Stephen! The one showing off his golden throat mating colors was awesome and so was the one who briefly inspected the camera. I was surprised to see so many come in and interact with u. They must know u pretty well! I’ll have to check out more of your channel after seeing this!
The little blblblblbl they make with their tongue after they're done drinking is just them sticking their tongue out cause they outsmarted you.
RIGHT i was just thinking that
it's adorable tho🥺
1:06 It looked like he was licking the other birds beak
But how can he be outsmarted if the point was to get video of them? Lol
When that one hummer pecks at the camera @ 1:49.😂😂😂 Too cute!
He was like "ooo hello what's this? Ok bye!"
😄
He’s like I’m ready for my close up 😃
It’s a kiss goodbye 😊😁
Never seen these hoverbirds up close like this before... Fascinating!
they are so fascinating. i love hummingbirds.
1:53 LOL. He's all like, "Stop hogging the nectar."
The one in center drank the mist UNTIL the tiny green one poked him to leave... Fascinating
It's amazing that you are able to film this. So many hummingbirds and can see them clearly staying still even while flapping their wings nonstop.
I LOVE these beautiful precious babies!!!! 😍😍🥺🥺💜💙💚
all of those zooming by taking a sip at a time while that madlad just sits and drinks casually
This is heaven
My heart is so melted watching these videos!! Thank you for sharing them!!
One of the most amazing animals ever to exist. They can fly of an entire day non stop before tiring. Entirely with that vison blurring wing flapping. Amazing.
1:48 "Ouh i'm sorry, it's a giant camera over here"
What do vampire hummingbirds eat?
*Your blood sugar*
I like that joke.
Those wings sounds in my ears are just like super engine does.
Never seen a hummingbird that close.❤️
These birds are beautiful
Pause: 1:49
Hummingbird: Well hello there 🐦
One of life’s best experiences is standing next to a hummingbird feeder and having a dozen of those little weed whackers buzzing right by your head ☺️🌸🌼
I have to agree, and I recommend wearing headphones while watching this video to those who've never had the pleasure of experiencing this.
@@ruckusisagoodboy That would definitely get viewers a little bit closer to the experience. 🙂
That’s amazing! Hummingbirds are so special. 💜💜💜
The sound of the wings are amazing. I wish we had these beautiful guys in the UK, I’d have hummingbird feeders everywhere the eye could see!!!😃🤩
Чудеса 🙏))Райское место 👍
What a lovely experience that must have been.
If this were me it would stand as the loveliest experience of my life.
Great video!
Everytime I hand feed hummingbirds it's like the closest thing to heaven!
1:54 excuse me sir, it's my turn to drink now
Lmao
Omg. This is a dream.
Some people have many insects swarming around them and other have a bunch of hummingbirds flying around them like mosquitos. I'm so jealous tbh.
As a birdlover,I feel you are damn blessed dude,really.
Thanks. I'm blessed to live in a bird lover's paradise.
1 bird looks comfortable 😌
So cute and gentle creatures 🥰
super cool free wild hummingbirds as Pets from the wild so cool, i like to hear their super sonic wings sounds
Thank you for showing me a sitting down humming bird, that brightened up my day
You're welcome! Learning that it brightened up your day just brightened up mine.
Какие очаровательные крошки!!😍😍😍
Love the closeup at 1:48! They're being careful not to collide, though it looks like they might be hostile.
Как у вас красиво рядом райские птички летают 🌹🌹🌹🌹
How sweet birds❤😘🤗
HELP THEY'RE SO SMOL
Smol little birbs
IMO, hummingbirds are really one of the most angelic creatures of nature.
some can be quite territorial and fight off the others trying to get some food
@@TH3C4NN4BL3C0W so cute death battle 😁
Man that's nuts. They're so fast and spastic, I cant beleive they were comfortable enough to do that. A friend of mine in Vegas just sent me a video of a hummingbird that set off his doorbell camera alert. It said someone was at his door but it was actually a hummingbird interested in his camera lenses lol. Awesome video!
They are actually quite friendly and willing to approach.
I m dying 😩💞 they are sooooo small. And sooo beautiful!!
idk why but its so satisfying watching them fly around
There soooooooooo small! Cute💗
Catching one is like catching that golden harrypotter ball.
The name of the golden harry potter ball is snitch
@@galexia_ dude why would you want to snitch
Super. Happy to see these birds drinking water from your hands
What an amazing Bird.
Resembles the Birds of Paradise...,!
Beautiful birds! Wish we had them in Sweden......
I love how they're all skeptical until one drinks it and went and told his friends it was good. 👍
Like the old saying goes, "The early hummingbird gets the sugar water."
I feel like I could watch this forever.
You are so sweet and kind with birds🌅💝😘😊😌
Thank you for the kind words.
I wanna see them in slow motion. Sounds like small drones
They are looking so cute
