The first time I ever had a hummingbird fly up on me, I thought it was an insect by the sound of it. Hummingbirds are amazing little creatures.
And here I'm thinking my ruby-throated hummingbird friend, who visits my yard because he loves my zinnias, is tiny! I hope these teeniest of birds will have full protection. ❤
The little tiny nest is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!❤
@@kimmccreery6688 It is! The smallest bird nest i would say. I’d imagine it would be hard seeing it unless you were really up close.
Seems to be very cozy….soft from the cobwebs it’s made from.
3:01 mama being attacked by a mosquito! 😮
The narrator speaks with awe in his voice,liked it.
I think that’s AI created. I listen to another channel where ‘he’ reads short stories. I was listening to one the other night and he said “underscore underscore”; and another where he called “pa”, “p a”.
Absolutely stunning bird, tiny but mighty!! Thanks for the video 🙏🏻 😍 🌎
A tiny jewel.
The wonder of nature is a Stunnig beauty.. magnificent little ones leves us brethless in this tiny little beauty Thank's for sharing this is verry impressive and informativ.. I would like to hear them sing.. smile.. Greetings from Skandinavia 💞🇮🇸😊👍💖
Wow I've never seen baby hummingbirds, how cute ❤
Magnificent. Thank you. (I wanted to chase that mosquito @ 2:54 away, she's so TINY)
@@ColleenLytle-sq8tx yes they are such a tiny bird and the mosquito puts it in perspective!
legit i felt so bad.. it probably feels like a bigass needle. if needles hurt humans skin imagine how painful that proboscis is for something only 2 inches tall!
Oh, that mosquito trying to dig its proboscis into the mother bird as she was feeding the chicks!
Saw that too!
Besides that it serves as a reference scale to realize how small those birds are, if it was a person that mosquito should be at least four inches long.
Tiny bird, big mosquito! Looked like the Alaskan mosquitoes. Lol
Yup! It’s at the 3:00 min mark of the vid.
Timestamp ?
Aww their eggs are smaller than jelly beans so stinking cute 🥹
How cute, if I saw it IRL I'd probably freak out because I'd think it was a bug
OMG!..I'm in love!
Utterly entrancing. Absolutely one of nature's gems. They are not endemic to Australia, so I've only seen them in drawings, pictures and videos. Would love to seen one live.
also you dont expect magnificence and smolness to be in this much harmony, but here they are.
They are so beautiful 😍
Very beautiful
❤
Hummingbirds don't pollinate with their tongues, which are wet and would retain the pollen, but with their beaks and heads!
Hummingbird must smell amazing since they are around flowers all the time.
Dont smell them, theyre small enough to go up your nose !
2:21 jesus christ, thats criminally adorable. 3:08 more jesus christ !! i never realised how small they are until saw them in comparasion to a mosquito
The bee hummingbird is a magnificent creature of nature, and worthy of respect. ❤
Omg this bird is so cute
So cool! Gorgeous!
3:09 omg, the mosquito was sucking the mom's blood while she's feeding her babies.
I doubt that mosquito got a good bite at all. So many feathers moving around.
Would’ve made a quick and easy snack for the hummingbird, had she noticed- and I think she would have, if she was bitten.
Very nice and informative video. Just watched and subscribed to your channel. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
@@frankvqz3799 thank you so much! Appreciate the support!
Wow so utterly beautiful! Mankind really doesn't deserve this world when we put something like this in danger! Stop consuming and start caring!
@@thorium222 indeed we need to protect
All species, these little creatures especially!
@@BirdieLearning Yes!
I didn't know they were on the menu. 😮
@@-kabepugs3009 Haha, so funny. You perfectly know that rich assholes are destroying the world with their totally unnecessary overconsumption of everything.
even if a bunch of people went 0 waste, 70% of all pollution and waste is given off by the top tennmegacorps that own everything.
stop putting the pressure on people trying to survive and start putting pressure on the companies ruining our planet.
oh wait, you cant, because they have their hands in the government and vice versa so whatever they say, goes.
they dont care about us. stop wasting your breath.
It is so amazing...I've got tears in my eyes as I have been so moved by such a lovely divine creature...Amazing! Lord you're so beautiful...wow😯😃😘🙏. Interesting video, bless you and thank you for shearing🙂.
@@peacockpaula4723 thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a great video to work on.
Same, hummingbirds make me cry every time!
Are you sure that humans should live in this world with them
All people that think this can leave first 👍
@@maralonent6257you never know then you end up
@@maralonent6257except that they’re the ones who would create a world where they, and we, and all species can thrive together…
We do. Let's make the most of it
no. people are 💩
Praise be to God our awsome creator!! What a gem of little winged friend. 🤗🤗🥰
❤
❤❤❤❤❤ we don’t get these cuties in UK and I miss them ❤❤
So incredible! I live in the Northwest US near Canada, where we have two species, Annas hummingbird, and my favorite, the Rufous hummingbird, brilliant orange abd green, which summers in Alaska!
I love hummingbirds! There was a giant tree with over 20 nests in our backyard when we lived in San Diego, Ca.
I hope you put out feeders them, but I’m sure you did. It’s so delightful to see them. ❤
@@margo3367 They were there many years before we were. I went under the tree wearing a red shirt and several tried to come and taste my shirt. It was amazing!
what a little sweetie
Beauties
It might be small, but not even this bird escapes Cuban surveillance.
I think I saw some Moringa flowers! Cuba does not have mongoose!
@@cavaldom2 hi there, where abouts in the video did you see them?
@@BirdieLearning 0:57
@@cavaldom2I believe such flowers do grow in Cuba, any specific species of plant you are referring to?
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 amazing story thank you!
Such a cool video! Just to get an idea of how small they are, have a look at the relative size of the mosquito that lands on the bird’s back around 3:00.
Coolest animal on the planet
So beautiful 😍
Beautiful.
Thats s bee mixed with roufus on thumbnail here in phx Az ive seen a bee mixed with lucifers tiny w purple gorget EB
Ashy-faced owl !! Not snowy! Wrong photo used here, too. Such beautyfull tiny aerial gems
We have hummingbirds in my part of New Mexico and I saw 3 of them chase a falcon off yesterday. Not the first time I have seen that kind of thing out here. They are territorial little guys and dive bomb eachother with a neet burbly wistle sound. Such fun birds.
They are very territorial! I sit outside in my garden for a few minutes in summer, and I have observed two "argue" over my bee balm flowers. I want to plant more flowers that attract and feed these beautiful, wonderful little creatures. I love to see these acrobats of the sky!
@@nancys2839
I enjoy them all season. They fight over a desert willow in the back yard.
Thank you... we have the Ruby Throated in Eastern 🇨🇦 🍁
I want to own a giant hummingbird so I can ride it to magnificent adventures and victory!!!....
I wonder how smart this little guy is?
When bee hummers sit the gorget goes down passed their feet so thats bigger bee than in AZ EB
precious !
Let's call him REX.
The birds and the bees at the same time... 😹
Ahhh yes of course the mighty snowy owl has to consume thousands of bee hummingbird a day to sustain itself, that is if the bald eagles don't eat them all first lol
I read your post just after I'd posted similarly. Fair play. But to add to the story, the local name of zumzum chito deserves a comment. Whenever I see dragonflies hunting I give them "light-sabres" "zoom-zoom!" and chitos, aren't they lovely little snacks?
in todays episoode of pig ignorant to their sorroundings , from an human point of view, check out these 2+ cnunts! they cant even tell you where milk comesfrom, YET they willingly drink it when its offered from near rekatives of their species? remarkable , in that tgeir rekatives support them.
Nice!❤❤❤
@@JoyfulAnimals11 thank you!
when i was a kid ppl thought i was ridiculous that i thought birds were related to dinosaurs bc of their similarities
One of Gods feathered jewel's.
A hummingbird with a name that sounds like "zoom zoom" is just perfect. (Are you also the voice of Evo Inception?)
Somehow I am less than convinced by the AI British voice, that the Cuban Hummingbird has much to fear from the artic snowy owl as the AI generated video posits. AI scripts and video editing will end the British accent being associated with truthfulness. David Attenborough weeps.
@@Naturallystated the snowy owl was shown for effect although it doesn’t specifically hunt this bird. Also this video isn’t ai generated and has been fact checked as we do all our videos.
Wow!
Interesting, a bit of a mistake to show a picture of a snowy owl when describing their predators (snowy owls live in the Artic Tundra).
We have them in Orlando FL.
🥰
Why does the thumbnail photo have a very different species of hummer? It's a Rufous Hummingbird of, primarily, western North America. Freaking ridiculous.
❤
Lovely video. How about going metric though?? :-)
Ein penetranter Irrtum: Dinos waren nicht die Vorfahren von Vögeln, sondern aufgerichtete Echsen. Deren Skelett ist verhältnismäßig immer zu schwer zum Fliegen. Das der Vögel ist filigraner und ermöglicht erst das besondere Atemsystem der Vögel: gleichzeitig ein- und ausatmen, wie bei einer Doppel-Luftpumpe.
3:03 Mosquito sat on humming bird trying to suck blood!😮
I know it’s no Dino but I believe Dino’s had feathers just as a Dino ankylosaurus head i’v discovered
The Evolution is fantastic,or was it designed by ??? :-)
Who’s the voice actor in the video, because it sounds like whoever it was who did the audiobook version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
If you feed them, you must be diligent. They learn to rely heavily on that sustenance being there for them. Every beat of their wings are carefully calculated. & one small mishap could mean their lives. If they've began to rely on this energy being at your house, & it's not there... Well, you do the math. They've found that hummingbirds will diligent feeders don't migrate. Well, in mild climates anyway...
3:11 momma bird feeing the babies, and momma mosquito doing the same
A beautiful bird, and a beautiful video commentary. Predators might include owls, but not the owl pictured, which is a snowy owl of the arctic. Sorry to nit-pick. Great story though, ❤
Excellent content and presentation! ❤
Notice the mosquito on the bee hummingbird?
Did anyone notice the mosquito on the female bird?!
I am pretty sure an orange breasted finch could give you a run for your money size wise
This is an AI voice and video right? It’s sometimes hard to tell with the RP accents. I’ve come across a couple that I was certain were also AI but actually had actual faces.

That's a dinosaur I'd like to meet!
cute bird but i dont speak imperial could you please speak in reasonable?
birds don't have chins.
It's not a dinosaur. It's a cute bird. Stop with the nonsense.
@@nullifye7816 technically birds are dinosaurs, there is lots of literature proving this. I hope you enjoyed the video :)
birds are dinosaurs.
Living dinosaur?! An absurd claim lacking any proof!
quite the opposite
Evolution was always an absurd notion but when some goober paleontoligist declared, with no evidence, that dinosaurs evolved into modern birds....well, that was just hilarious
Evolution was never an "absurd notion," there's plenty of evidence behind it. If you'd like I can share.
Same for your latter statement. I'd love to share the overwhelming evidence birds evolved from (and still are) dinosaurs. Also, this wasnt just "some goober paleontologist," they're declared dinosaurs by the entire field of biology, especially evolutionary biology.
@@mrdraco3758 I have studied the claims for 50 years. No proof. Fossil record is 98% extinct life forms. No transitions, only awful examples of various distinct species. It is so bad that it is impossible to prove, scientifically, anything. Evolution is conjecture based on speculation because that's all it can ever be. None of that matters because it is also impossible for random natural events to conjure complex molecules essential for life.....and reproduction. Even a rudimentary knoeledge of geology, chemistry, physics prove it laughable. Even if something more complex than simple compounds occurred, then what? It would require billions of iterations of increasingly complex modifications to become even rudimentary precursor to DNA. With no intelligent guidance. And it would have to be in a protected environment for billions of years with all the essential materials and reactions nearby. A famous experiment tried to do just that in a laboratory with ideal conditions and perfect materials. It was a total failure but claimed to have created simple amino acids or something like that. That experiment was designed, fabricated, initiated, controlled by intelligent beings and that is cheating, evolution has no guidance, interfering, only random natural events allowed. Nature is horrible, hostile, chaotic and random natural events create nothing except simple minerals, crystals etc. This all means evolution, all of it, every version is crappola. Life of any kind, no matter how simple, must have a myriad of complex molecules and there must be coded DNA or there cannot be reproduction. They must also be carbon based, other systems have been modeled, they all crash. Natural random events will never ever generate complex carbon based molecules. The ridiculous notion that these molecules originated in a pool of crud at the base of a volcano that got zapped by lightning is absurd, impossible yet that is what is forced on our children and the public. Darwin was, in his own words, a lunatic, look for that. Yet everything we do is to try to prove evolution, that it must have happened elsewhere but we have never proved it did or could.
