I can’t imagine the forces and muscle control it takes for these birds to hover or fly backwards. We’ve just added some bluebird vid: ca.youtube.com

HUMMINGBIRD SETS WORLD RECORD
On September 6, 2009, this Hummingbird set a World Record of continuously setting on a hummingbird feeder. This feeder was in Dianes Garden located in Waxahachie, Texas. This video is dedicated to all those who struggle with mental illness and all those that work so hard to help them. This video was taken on my sisters birthday who went to heaven earlier this year. Good luck to all those that try to break this World Record. HUMMINGBIRD WORLD RECORD RULES (Rule # 090609CSOHF) 1.Camera must be hand held. 2.Lens of camera must be two feet or less from hummingbird. 3.Hummingbirds feet must continuously touch feeder. 4.Video must be posted as a response to this video. Does anyone know what kind of hummingbird this is (black-chinned or Ruby-throated)
Hummingbird Visit
The hummingbird started visting our flowers in early June. A couple weeks ago the feeder was discovered. I am hoping to get more to the feeder by trimming away some braches blocking its view.
Hummingbird Fight at the Feeder
We just moved into this house, and decided to put up a hummingbird feeder. This was shot about 2hrs after hanging it.

Hummingbird Epic Feeder Battle
There weren’t enough spots on our giant hummingbird feeder, so a newcomer took matters into its own claws. Right now 8 cups of sugar solution doesn’t last 24 hours.

This Costa’s hummingbird flies in and feeds, then buzzes the camera before returning to the feeder.
