- Dig into the incredible fighting, feeding, and flying capabilities of hummingbirds.
--
In just a matter of seconds, hummingbirds can perform astonishing aerial acrobatics, eat lunch in midair, pollinate a flower, even escape threats while upside-down. And they can do this all while achieving sustained hovering flight- an aerial feat no other bird can perform. How do they do it? Kristiina J. Hurme and Alejandro Rico-Guevara explore the incredible flying capabilities of hummingbirds.

The animators clearly had such much fun with this one.
Heck yeah we did 💪🐦💪
You helped animate this? Kudos to you! This was hilarious! 👍👍
@@kbye2321 yes i noticed that LOL

The hummingbirds flexing is now my favourite gif.

@@ashmanideep6253 how do you want me to share it?
@@cyanidepopcorn0107 upload it to a gift database and share the link, like on tenor, for example
@@wizz1358 yeah I sent a gyfcat link, which keeps getting deleted. Ah well
Do you even (generate) lift?
I literally choked when the hummingbird said "Check these pecs." 😂😂😂
I'm looking.👀👌🏻
🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Bro out much?!
XD LMAO
I was drinking water, I just can't XD
I did the music, sound and hummingbird voices for this lesson, I'm so glad it made you laugh! Here's a video with me saying "check the pecs" in it :-D ua-cam.com/video/wVs2Z3wtReE/v-deo.html
The hummingbirds in the thumbnail:
*s t r o n k*
Wait what did I seriously get hearted by one of my favourite channels? Well my day has gotten a whole lot better. Been a fan for nearly 4 years now
Stronk
But there’s a reason why they’re so low tier in Outside. I know that they are extremely fast, but their stamina is SOOOOO quickly emptied.
Cue the Pillar man theme song
i think many birds are strong for their size
My grand mother use to feed them and you could hear them hit each other while fighting all the way inside the house with the door closed.
We do they eat i mean what can we feed them
@@mobilemarshall thnx bro i thought they eat insects which is hard for us to provide them but i didn't think about giving them sugar juice or artificial nectar ☺️
@@vasudev8957 hummingbird also need to eat insects but i don't think it's topo priority. They need to have lots of sugar energy to keep up with their metabolisms. Nectar/sugar juice has lots of sugar energy. It does not usually have all the nutrients they need (the ones insects have) At 2:20 there's an animation that has one snacking on some sort of insect. 🥰🐦💐🥰
I have seen several hummingbirds going into battle against each other. It was brutal
I once caught a hummingbird in my hands and got to see it so close, you could see the muscles on them even though it relaxed in my hands
The way the hummingbirds were duelling is now one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a Ted-Ed video.
Ikr? Amazing!
Yes
yeah it some dragon ball action
My mom once saw a hummingbird chase a blue jay away from a robin's nest.
@@jessicajayes8326 nice
This artstyle is soo cute
yes I agree, it is so simple
Totally agree, it's awesome
Cutest❣️
Too*
it's by Lisa Vertudaches!
THIS is how you do educational videos right, goofy visuals and a serious narrator and script.
Its amazing how many other channels do it backwards
You should check out the channel that makes True Facts. THAT is hilarious
Serious voices over silly stuff is funny. Like imagine Attenborough reading a Sam O Nella script.
Hummingbirds are such beautiful creatures.
I agree.
I agree
So true 😍
Especially the iridescent ones!
Yeah, but they are vicious little birds.
3:09 I can't stop laughing 😂, damn you animator!..
This shows that TED knows their memes. TED is a man of culture.
3:41
It looks like a fish 😭
it's funny af I'm still laughing
The sleeping scene at 4:04 was super cute too
A Gold medal for the person who made the sound effects 🏅
Thanks!! Here's a video of me doing some of them if you're interested :-D ua-cam.com/video/wVs2Z3wtReE/v-deo.html
"Check these pecs"
And this is how I spent the 15 minutes after I got my 1st COVID-19 shot: listening to the Demon of Reason talk about hummingbirds.
Same here
Therapist : buff hummingbirds do not exist, they can't hurt you
Buff hummingbirds: 0:50
I thought of this exact comment in my mind at least 50 minutes before
@Henry Amazeing well, not with human muscles
Awaken my masters

That thumbnail sure is weird...
By the way, did anyone notice the hummingbird eat the fire ant queen from another video at 0:21?
oh my lord. not the fire ant queen
Fire ant queen, the bad ending
*You were killed before you started a colony*
@@bluesky_cupy5158 lmaoo
Noticed that :D
Same
Once I had the honor of saving a trapped hummingbird in my house. I had to catch him with my bare hands so I wouldn't hurt him. It was the most marvelous experience I've ever had. The details on his structure, the iridescence and bright colors of his feathers, the intense heart beating feeling through my fingers. They are absolutely beautiful that close, even so that words are not enough to describe.
3:35 You've heard of 'Hammerhead Shark', now its time for 'Mace Beak Hummingbird'
Ted Ed have outdone themselves in this beautiful video. Filled with beautiful animation, a hilarious meme reference (3:08), and of course really interesting information.
This wasn’t only so very educational about hummingbirds, it was absolutely adorable with the animations!! I love this!!!❤️❤️🐦❤️❤️🥰
The animation is so wholesome. I especially like the flexing hummingbirds and the cute defensive owl.
Love hummingbirds; I used to spend a lot of time watching them buzz around my mom's garden when I was younger ☺️
That wasn't just any date! It was their 2 day anniversary. To an insect, they were basically celebrating being together 50 years. She was his everything. His soul mate. And she was taken from him too soon. RIP insects wife. We will remember you fondly. She was a lover of fine wines and long flights along the tree.

Nobody:
Humming birds in 0:52 : *Aya Aya Aya..* aztez dubstep intensifies.
Lmao

Is that a Jojo reference?
@@gamethrough5530 if there are three buff creatures there will always be a jojo reference..
AWAKEN MY MASTERS
Goddamn this is literally my favorite video of all time
This is brilliant. The animation. The sounds. The information. I laughed out loud, while at the same time learning. Wonderful!
The animation here is just so cute. The TED Ed animations are always good but this one's just so adorable.
Hummingbirds' metabolic rate is so fast, because of having to flap their wings so much, that they are eight hours away from starving to death at any given moment (when they are awake)
Living on the edge
I thought it was three hours...
w u t
I mean you're 2 min from dying but whenever you breathe it resets
As always love the animation, but the final line on this video about them being the messenger of the Aztec god of war, and that strength can come in small sizes... Top notch writing right there.
My mom's favorite.
Overly Sarcastic Productions: But there is a ray of sunshine in all this. If you're an Aztec warrior and end up dead, you get to turn into a hummingbird. Ah, that's cute.
Ahh yes blood for the blood god
This is by far the best animation from Ted ed. An absolute favourite too. Tell the animator I said thank you for such wonderful art. 🌹❤️
So hummingbirds are basically the animal kingdom's real-life version of The Flash?
That's so awesome!
the art style in this video is very simple yet has a strong meaning to every character, the personality. And this actually helps in understanding the concept better.
Love the art style
hoping to see it in the future videos
I love the fact that their beaks are bending as well in the animation. ❤️
the animations are so cool omggg
Kudos to animators, you never failed to put a smile on my face. 👏🏼👏🏼
Them do be some buff boys
They do be buff
Thank you for making education accessible like this. It's not easy to make bird biology fun but you're doing a great job at it... Sorry.
I am pretty sure Ted won't disappoint me even by the video of a random stick.
These animations make learning way more fun. Nice work, TedEd!
Incredible video!!! They are strong animals and incredible smart!!!
I did not plan to watch it. But the thumbnail told me to click on it. 😍😍😍😍Omg why is the drawing style so cute.!!!!
Love how cute the hummingbird is and they are an impressif little speedster
I just can't believe it!! I saw one while i was walking home, it felt very magical! Its very rare to find such bird here in the Philippines
This has to be the cutest ted video i’ve ever watched!
Nice Video, we feed 1000’s of hummingbirds here daily ❤
This is why they're so sacred to indigenous ppl across the Americas 😊
2:38
This part.
It shall be cherished.
I have a hummingbird feeder on my patio and I live in AZ. I'm well aware of how bold these little guys are.
2:10 I LOVE THAT ELEPLANT DRAWING!!!
me in a sunny day: *just chillen and admiring the flowers*
that one humming bird: *zzzzeezzzzzzeeerreeerrrrrrreezzzzz*
Ted ed animations are getting better with every episode
The hummingbirds are oozing derp and I love it. I love it so much.
WHY IS THIS NOT MORE FAMOUS THIS VIDEO WAS INCREDIBLE
This amazing animation couples with the narration hilariously and seamlessly. Beautifully done!
The only TED-Ed video I've ever laughed at 😂😂
Keep making these!!
I am a Korean herb farm.
I learn a lot from watching videos.
I wish you good farming and good health and happiness.
영상잘보고갑니다. 유투브도 승승장구하시길 응원합니다.
There's so much personality and humor in this! Not only informative, but hilarious and memorable too. Great work!
The animation made the little bird cute like a teddy bear!
I freakin love the artstyle and animation, so funny but informative at the same time
Out of all the teded videos, this is my favorite
Hummingbirds are one of my favorite animals and this made me love them even more
Those deadly dual of hummingbirds are a feast for the eyes and also mind! Such great animation.
My husband and I started putting hummingbird feeders out in 2019. We are obsessed with these little miracles! So much fun. For anyone wanting to start, a big piece of advice is change the nectar frequently in the summer months, and get an ant moat so the ants don't go in and spoil the nectar.
While ultra educational, you gotta admit the adorable art style really commands the attention.
I live in WA & all winter long I can go out on my back porch and listen to hummingbirds fight. It's like tiny aliens firing lasers & I love it.
Hats off to the makers of this amazing piece of knowldege
The animation is soo colourful and vibrant.. love itt ❤️❤️
This was a really masterpiece animation...👍
This is my favorite video about hummingbirds!! The animation is adorable and precise. I love it!!
This is probably the best Ted video I've seen so far!
Omg that was the ant queen from the previous video. This confirm that Ted-Ed videos exist in the same universe lol!
Call matpat, we need some serious guys on this thing.
@@sohamacharya171 Agreed.

3:41 Hummingbird vs Duolingo
I know that I will be forever fascinated and amazed by these little birds😍
the thumbnail is a masterpiece, I can’t lie
1:43 I personally hate spiders but this one is so funny and cute! The way is was defending its flower made me laugh and not cringe.🕷️
I laughed out loud when the hummingbird was picking on the owl
This the best animation and imagination to be ever created
There are many things, of which we are unaware. Thanks TED ED for sharing lessons.
