It amazes me how they are able to use their tails both as balance and to vector the air they are pushing downwards t keep their heads almost perfectly in one spot in 3D space.
some birds lead the movement of their bodies with their heads first. Pigeons do it while walking, the head moves in a direction and the body follows after the head.
I missed the "upside down" part but did see an odd angle of what seemed to be one tumbled slightly back regaining it's balance. I imagine all flying birds do that on occasion.
@taofledermaus I had a decent sized nest under my eaves, over my garage door. I figured I'd video tape the removal. I went at them in the AM while they were still dormant. There were only about 30 or so that I had to stomp once they hit the ground... thing is, three days later I noticed they were right back at building another nest. Arrrgh! BTW, I concur... wasp stings must suck if they are anything compared to a honey bee. They sure seem like they'd be 10 times worse.
what i like about your channel, you never know what you are going to get... but I do know it will be enjoyable. thanks again where bouts was it filmed? the tree looks like something in the subtropics.
Nice! I got about 15 minutes of live footage one day of 2 birds fighting over the feeder...They just would not stop, even though I was sitting there only about 15 feet away with the camera. One of these days I'll have to get around to editing that.
Had no idea how conservative most of California was outside of the "Fake & Gay" areas until I stayed in a small town near China Lake for a month and a half while working at the base back in 2003. Changed my outlook on the "State" of your state. Good people. Thanks for the great videos.
@taofledermaus I haven't been stung by a wasp that I remember and the last time a bee got me I think it was 1978. Thing is, it was determined by the doctor that I was officially allergic to them at that time. Thinking back to my recent nest smashing, even though it was while they were sleeping, was pretty risky. A few did fly at me and made me run hightail it out of there. Pretty crazy indeed.
I guess it's natural that they're stressing out so much over that abundant food source. They gotta slow down a little. xD Wasn't fully upside-down flight there, but slightly. I guess like helicopters when you push them to the limits, briefly. Although that was probably the most 'laid-back' hummingbird I've seen a far, haha.
Nice vid. Gosh, great frame rate! I guess our goldfish do that torpid thing, too... no eyelids to close for sleeping... they just kinda shut down to slo mo... ???
How did your channel get its name and I have been feeding hummingbirds for about a year and I have seen one that is a copper gold color and it’s smaller than the normal ones
I'd love to see the 600 fps on you waking up a wasps nest. I uploaded a video of me doing such a thing... just not with a good frame rate like your vids have.
Great shots and cool info too. I've been working on getting some more battles on film... I see LOTS of chase-offs, but real knock-down fights where they smack into each other are fairly rare. I hear impacts more often than I see them, and they're usually over before I can grab the camera or at least get it pointed the right direction. XD Those Black-Chinned males actually have deep purple bands on their necks right below the black "chin". Really spectacular but hard to light them up! =)
Thats a pretty sweet video, I've never seen humming birds act like this either, probably because they move too fast in regular speed :P PS: Why are these things called black-chinned hummingbirds when their chin is like, metallic red/pink :P
They do not fly upside down - at least not sustained.. They will fly vertical, backwards, hard banking, even corkscrew maneuvers but they just simply don't "FLY" upside down.
It amazes me how they are able to use their tails both as balance and to vector the air they are pushing downwards t keep their heads almost perfectly in one spot in 3D space.
that's beautiful creature
I love how the heads stay in pretty much the exact same place when they're hovering
some birds lead the movement of their bodies with their heads first. Pigeons do it while walking, the head moves in a direction and the body follows after the head.
in the slow motion at the end you can see a shape in the feathers on the birds chest that looks like a human face. Great footage.
Birds are very fascinating, to me. Hummingbirds are incredible little biological machines. Great video, and you have a good documentary voice.
Thanks for the slow motion. I enjoy a little bird watching and there is no way to do a little bird watching without humming birds .
nice one. I showed it to my grand son. nothing is more amazing than observing nature.
veary awsome great work
Absolutely amazing creatures. I am in South Oz and we get honey eaters here. they are tiny and so adorable.
Nice Video.
soon to be in everyone’s recommend...
Great bro
Wow God is awesome. Cool facts about the humming bird.
great video taofledermaus
One of your best vids ever. Check out the last hummingbird of the vid. It looks like the feathers on it's chest formed a face.
Wonderful Creation of nature❤️
That is so amazing! Its like they swim through the air.
Jeff from Taofledermaus for President!! He's so smart and insightfull, He'd make a great leader.

I just saw on of the biggest Trochilidae species in the world. bigger than those (wingspan up to 60cm) Nice take!
When does it fly upside down?
In their imagination😂
@@Saidoromo2024 what about your imagination ?
@@Saidoromo2024 atheist!! Woof getting out of being a Muslim?? Even in the USA that’s impressive.
Jesus Christ what happened here

Very beautiful birds, great video. Thank you!

Is there any way for you to post the airsoft versus airplane vid on google plus? I cant get to it on youtube due to Kaspersky's hueristic analysis.
Ok!

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing this, along with the information.
They do the same to me I can never get more than two hummingbirds they just don’t like each other to get a sip
@JamesThWilliams
Thanks. I think I knew that as a kid, but it had been a long time since I really thought about it.
Humming birds are awesome...
Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Mexico is part of North America. North America and the USA aren't synonymous.
Other than that, lovely video.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't see a hummingbird flying upside down
I can't really see the hummingbird clearly enough to know whether it's actually upside down. :/
I thought I was the only one! I don't see a hummingbird flying "upside down" at all. I see one flying backwards at best.
Great shots and cool info too. I've been working on getting some more battles on film... I see LOTS of chase-offs, but real knock-down fights where they smack into each other are fairly rare. I hear impacts more often than I see them, and they're usually over before I can grab the camera or at least get it pointed the right direction.

you are cool! great footage, captions and nice, slow educational voice.
You were canopy to canopy? How is that?
Because I was inverted.
greatttttttttttttt

PS: Why are these things called black-chinned hummingbirds when their chin is like, metallic red/pink :P
I saw your video about humming-birds flying UPSIDE DOWN. Do you have a video of humming-birds flying backwards???? Thanks!!!! .... :-)
lol that was pry the funniest damn thing i read all day bnut i was just messin with ya its aprertty cool vid
oh wow
Did not see where it flew upside-down. 🦁
~0:40 Pretty sure Mexico is in N America...

Yes they do
Pretty crazy.
thats better man thats better
