Fly backwards.

Hover.

Amazing animal.

I wager future flight tech will be inspired by this bird.

hummingbirds are cool. when i lived in costa rica we had them in our backyard all the time and even had at least one nest a year with babies. they kept our cat in line by buzzing her and even coming in to the house to do a fly-by.

now in south florida, we can't get any with the feeders out. we've tried planting hummingbird friendly flower and what-not.

definately cool little birds.
