  • A hummingbird needs to consume at least their body weight in nectar each day. High in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica, the competition for food is fierce.

    Hummingbirds don't look very tough, but they can get aggressive when they need food. What are your thoughts on these amazing creatures?

      🇨🇷 High quality video edition. I love hummingbirds even when I have seen them fighting from far away, it was an amazing experience watching them in closeup thanks to Nat Geo Wild. Thank you from Costa Rica, gracias desde Costa Rica.

    I live in LA, California, and the hummingbirds that come to my balcony every day are just as feisty... so that's not unique to those kinds...
    But these few minutes truly have been a masterpiece. Absolutely beautiful 👌🏼

    That was beautiful! I've witnessed *many* hummingbird fights over the feeders in my backyard. They're aggressive and territorial little spitfires!!
    (I've even got a video on my UA-cam channel of a female Ruby Throated hummingbird flying all around my head and camera while I was changing out one of the feeders. It was an amazing experience!)

  • @IndoEireannGirl
    @IndoEireannGirl 5 років тому +1

    I’m awestruck by how beautiful these birds are. Never could one have thought they are so aggressive as well, but when the question of survival is up, they have to battle or perish, I suppose. Beautiful short NGW!!!😊🙋🏻💜🦋

    We have two feeders on our deck. We only get Ruby Throated Hummingbirds here in Massachusetts between May and Sept. The battles that they have are crazy. I sit on the deck and just watch them dogfight. They are the worlds greatest flyers.

    I love this video. And I love hummingbirds. I've seen them fight and they are very violent and vocal. In this video I hear alot of wing flapping but no chirping. Are Costa Riccan hummingbirds quiet when fighting?
