- They move so fast that human eyes see only a hovering spot of color, a blur of wings. But when frozen in time by high-speed cameras, hummingbirds yield their secrets.

Hummingbirds live exclusively in the Americas. The smallest can weigh less than two grams. The largest, the giant hummingbird found in Peru and Chile, tips the scales at around 20 grams. You could send something that weight in the U.S. mail with a single first-class stamp. World’s smallest birds is just one of several distinctions that hummingbird species claim. They’re the only birds that can hover in still air for 30 seconds or more. They’re the only birds with a “reverse gear”-that is, they can truly fly backward. And they’re the record holders for the fastest metabolic rate of any vertebrate on the planet.

Hummingbirds are so beautiful and majestic, like unicorns.
This Little Critic Lol this kid
This Little Critic exactly!
This Little Critic Hummingbirds are not real -_-
First off, unicorns are not real. Second, they are just horses with a bone sticking out of the head. They are overrated and boring.
I like how people say unicorns were not real. It's a joke. They clearly were real. It's not that hard for a horse to grow a horn. Just look at all the other life on this planet. A fish that goes in your weener. Thats a thing, but a horse with a horn is too far-fetched.
I cried watching this. Hummingbirds are so beautiful and so special. Whenever I felt the most broken about losing my dad, he’s sent me a hummingbird to remind me that he’s still with me. I will always respect these tiny little messengers. ♥️
💕 I know it was your dad! I agree, hummingbirds are very special little guys. Love and healing being sent your way.
I'm about 5years late, but couldn't just not tell you how absolutely breathtaking this footage is. What you have managed to capture in this 2minute video is truly perfect in so many ways it's hard for to describe how I feel, what I see, and how it Resonates so intently that it moves my soul. As many others have expressed, hummingbirds hold a special, sacred place in my heart and in my world. So from every bit of that
heart, thank you for this mesmerizing, awe inspiring, spiritual, pure, complex, simple and healing perspective of the hummingbird.
Its so satisfying bro
@@Boba_Queen-gs7nz lol
Such a beautiful species
Such a beautiful tiny dinosaur
RomanticPizza it's clearly a tiny dragon
Jesus! This was like candy for my eyes.
That's why he made them
@@paulsallee4889 AMEN!
Be careful in using the name of the Creator in vain, if you have no respect for Him nor regard Him as Lord, you will be punished eternally in the lake of fire. You can laugh at this and shrug it off if you'd like, but death is coming for us all -sooner than we think. Repent of your blasphemy and come to Christ for forgiveness or you will be burned alive for all eternity, in your shame and loss and darkness forever. It’s coming for you. Every day you come closer to your doom.
@@Guivalv what if allah is real than we will both be punished
beautiful and peaceful. hope the bird was freed after the video was done recording. such beauty deserves nothing less than freedom.
Shyam Parakkal no they had to kill it unfortunately
chairshoe81 WHYYYY 😣☹😭
Mike Jensen that was beautiful, thank you.
PATHETIC, cannot see a wonder of nature have to turn it into politics snowflake!
Shyam Parakkal no shit it was returned
They are moving so incredibly fast, yet so stable when they hover.
It's really interesting, and I just noticed; hummingbirds tread air just like we humans tread water!
wow ...Beautiful HUMMINGBIRD and ULTIMATE Camera...
ultimate hummingbirf and beatiful slow motion
this is the most satisfying video i have even seen
Those NVIDIA graphics are getting out of hand
ikr
1. It's not 4k HDR
2. My AMD RX580 rendered this perfectly on a high class IPS screen panel...
You can almost feel the 3D
Out of wing!
It's Amazingly beautiful.These birds have a very high rate of metabolism and an astonishing heart rate of 1200.They are beautiful birds created by God.
Yes, *nature and evolution* created such a beautiful design.
Entirely true minus the god part
Came here expecting some atheists in the thread, and wasn't wrong haha. it's not like God and evolutionism are mutually exclusive, just saying. Anyway I respect your points of view, so let's not get too heated up and stay civilized.
This video is amazingly eye , mind and soul catching...
Just a great Master piece of wild life filming..
Every thing is just spectacular ..
The humming
The music
The pic quality
The sound
The filming
And first and foremost the soothing effect of all this
What not
I can't help watch this again and again. Makes me feel relaxed and comfortable.
I think Hummingbirds are Angels in bird form...💜
I was moved to tears watching this stunning hummingbird. Just so beautiful. Thank you
Im so glad I got to listen to Anand Varma, the videographer, tell his story of the creative design needed to perfect this shot. The video turned out exceptionally well done and just proves nature is truly breathtaking.
this instrumental music is just...wow
I would SO love to know the song.

سبحان الذي اعطى كل شى خلقه ثم هدى.
So beautiful! Fills my heart with love, peace and hope!
These little birds are SO BEAUTIFUL. I think god I’m alive during the time that they are alive so that I could see and learn more about these majestic creatures. 🌺
thank you for this work. just simply amazing. nature, evolution, biologic adaptation, such a beautiful example of how nature innovates, such an immersive experience of what it might feel like to be a hummingbird. beautiful little creatures with some very nifty skill sets trying to survive just like the rest of us, how we treat these little guys is a reflection of who we are as a species.
You think this was a product of evolution? There is definitely a designer behind everything we live around.
Wow, that was amazing. They're such beautiful little birds.
So pretty and magical.
All that they deserve is freedom...pure freedom that which ensures the phrase, fly free like a bird...
What a beautiful creature of God
Now How can anyone See this and not see how free and happy we are all supposed to be?! Sooo Beautiful! Still I understand what the Clear Box was for,we wouldn't have been able 2 See this little Angel if it wasn't for the box,and Video etc.
So beautiful.. God creates such an awesome being
WOW, its like watching the word beautiful itself...amazing such beautiful bird.
One of Gods creations. Amazing.
Subahan-allah, what a beautiful creation.
this should have 198 million views
I have no idea how you guys get these amazing shots but I am always amazed and stunned at every video
They are so beautiful
this is adorable
Absolutely fantastic. Thank you to everyone involved in this stunning study
Incredible shots! This was soo stunningly beautiful and it made me tear up😊
I first saw hummingbirds at my mother in law’s house in the country. She had 4-5 feeders around the patio and they got used to being around people because there was almost always someone sitting out there. They would almost come to you if you’d been around a long time. So beautiful and amazing to watch!
We bought our house in 2000 and I started a flower bed right outside the windows where my chair is. They came like crazy and I love watching them in the early evening as they come for dinner! I planted a butterfly bush (but didn’t know they could multiply!) and they loved it. Now I’m not able to take care of them properly due to health issues and after this year, I’m going to totally re-do the area. I’ve got 4 big ones and hundreds of little ones coming up. I don’t know what to do with them all! I hope people will take them instead of me having to put them on the compost pile.
I have plans for after this summer and I hope the hummers still come. It’s gotten too far out of hand and kids don’t help old people to earn a little money like when I was a kid. I just hope my hummers like my new plans and keep coming back! I’m mostly housebound these days and it’s very hard to cut the dead ones off of all of them so they stay nice.
These are the coolest birds I’ve ever seen! We’re considering moving to a place that’s just one story and, believe it or not, I’ll have to ask potential buyers to keep feeding them. I hadn’t realized how many different kinds there are! This time of year, the wasps won’t stay away so I hope I can find something natural, that won’t hurt them or my flowers but is effective so my hummers can get a good meal before they start their journey south. I’m in Ohio so they have a very long trip to come up here! If you know of something, suggestions are appreciated! I love these beautiful little creatures. They’re great entertainment for all. My 5 year old grandson is amazed by them, just like his mom was when she was little ♥️🕊 God’s creations are just beautiful 🤗🥰

A real beauty of evolution. Billions of years of life on earth led to this amazing creature.
A super intelligent designer led to this marvel of a creature.
Awesome. Eye-catching. Nothing is better than our mother nature. Thanks to Anand Varma team for posting this video. Keep rocking
