"Witty, charming, incredibly informative and fascinating to watch-----these are
just a few of the ways I would describe 'Hooked on Hummingbirds.' The
photography is truly amazing, especially the slow-motion scenes. The narration
sounds as though it comes straight from a National Geographic program (but with
a sense of humor), and the music is perfectly matched with the action.
Here is an amazing video of two newborn hummingbirds:

A review from a hummingbird-lover:
Incredible Footage,
By
D.M. (Valencia, CA USA)
"I am not sure how the filmmaker did it, but the steady and clear footage of
these two baby hummingbirds as they mature is extraordinary! The babies are
chronicled as they grow in their nest with momma bird steadfastly returning for
their feedings. Ultimately they take their first flight flying away on the wings
of maturity. Combine this with some wonderfully chosen music and you have the
makings of a touching, educational AND relaxing video. I highly recommend this
to nature lovers in general and hummingbird lovers in particular!!!"
"i ordered these Earrings, for my mom's birthday, she loved them and really
are proud of them, i will be doing business with this company again, the order
was processed very quickly and arrived several days before the actual due date!
i would highly recommend this company for business"
Hummingbird Fun Facts:
Hummingbirds are hoverers. They keep their body at a ~45?
angle to the ground, moving their wings in a figure-eight pattern. Because of
their flexible shoulder joint, they can generate lift on both the backward and
forward strokes. Hovering allows them to extract nectar from flowers with ease.
However, hovering burns a lot of calories. If our metabolic rates were as high
as a hummingbirds, we would burn the equivalent of 155,000 calories per day!.
