These teeny tiny baby hummingbirds are so cute snuggling in their nest. Like a crown jewel, the nest of a hummingbird is one of the great wonders in all of nature. They are so tiny, yet so perfect. Few of us have ever seen a hummingbird nest. This is because they are nearly impossible to find. From the ground, they look like another bump on a branch. From above, an umbrella of leaves conceals them. And from the side, they look like a tiny knot, quilted with lichens, plant down and fibers. Hummingbird nests are amazing architectural creations that protect and nurture some of the world's most delicate birds. It may only be 5-8 weeks from the time nest construction begins until the maturing birds leave home, but observing hummingbird nests can be a rewarding and enchanting experience for birders. Hummingbirds build velvety, compact cups with spongy floors and elastic sides that stretch as the young grow. They weave together twigs, plant fibers, and bits of leaves, and use spider silk as threads to bind their nests together and anchor them to the foundation. Did you know that hummingbirds can do this? Let us know down in the comments!

Check out this close-up footage of one of the most gorgeous birds on the planet. Here we present to you the queen of Hummingbirds, Anna’s Hummingbird whose presence is a treat for the soul! Anna's hummingbird was named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli, and is a medium-sized bird native to the west coast of North America. In the early 20th century, Anna's hummingbirds bred only in northern Baja California and Southern California. However, the transplanting of exotic ornamental plants in residential areas throughout the Pacific coast and inland deserts provided expanded nectar and nesting sites, allowing the species to expand its breeding range.

Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in existence in North America. More interestingly than that is the fact that these popularly recognized and adorable little birds actually do not appear anywhere else in the entire world. Check them out here in this video as a flock of them gather around the bird feeder. There are not many people who will say they do not enjoy watching these adorable, little personality-filled birds. The speed at which they flap their wings is entrancing to watch. They are truly fascinating little creatures. However, it appears the food has attracted someone else… The video opens with a close up shot of a <a href="https://rumble.com/v34tad-rescuing-a-dying-hummingbird.html" target="_blank">hummingbird</a> feeder that has a clear tube and a red access perch on the bottom. Around ten or eleven hummingbirds swarm the feeder, flitting back and forth from perch to perch. Hummingbirds can be very easily attracted in the spring and summer months just by putting a blend of sugar and water into a simple feeder like the one shown in the video. The crowd changes about three- quarters through the video. Suddenly, we see a much larger bird appear at the feeder. Right before we see this bird, many of the hummingbirds very quickly disappear. This could possibly be because they saw the larger bird approaching. This is a common phenomenon in nature that has been observed by researchers and scientists hundreds of times. This phenomenon is most commonly seen in the ocean; when there is a swarm of smaller predators circling a food source, it will eventually attract the attention of larger predators. When this happens, a very interesting cycle of events takes place. You will see the numbers of the smaller predators decrease almost instantly right before the larger predator is detected by humans or cameras. Scuba divers are trained to recognize when this happens. If a diver is in the water and they see suddenly that the marine life around them starts disappearing rapidly, the diver then knows to be on high alert and get to safety before a large predator comes into view. The hummingbirds in the video seem to react in this way when they see the larger bird. It is not clear whether or not the larger bird actually poses a threat to the hummingbirds, though. The larger bird is beautiful. He sports very vibrant colors of yellow and black. He also looks to have pretty, black and white stripes on the tips of his wings. Even though this larger bird is only present at the <a href="https://rumble.com/v5zj12-hummingbird-headbutts-other-hummingbird.html" target="_blank">feeder</a> for a few seconds, he caused the other birds to disperse instantly. However, after the larger, yellow headed bird leaves the scene, things go back as expected. The beautiful little hummingbirds start to reappear. It is almost like they are a group of friends at the mall hanging out together! This is just a really cute little scene. If you have not had a chance to enjoy watching hummingbirds in your yard, now is the time! Next time you go to the grocery store, find a small feeder and enjoy the show!
