“Just two hours without nectar, and he could die”….!!! Hummingbirds are gorgeous, but their lives are harsh…🥺😪

So cute how the raindrops splashes on the birds' head and they shake it off. Beautiful film,

A gorgeous segment! The miniscule size of these hummingbirds is really put into perspective as they are drenched in rain droplets!

5 3 21 Hello to the Team, It's unfortunate that the film crew wasn't mentioned in the description. They're the heroes of this post. Imagine being there & having the patience to film these beautiful birds. Thanks for posting. v

I have watched & listened to them battle 2 ft from my widow over feeders. They are fierce fighters with their long beaks (like little swords) stabbing each other. Plus they will do body slams that we can hear them when they hit.

I feel like the battle music reminds me of some JRPG battle themes 😅
