Why are they considered to be "cute"? Just watch this video. Trigger warning.

Some maybe you should leave
I like the bootleg versions of them
So hawk moths are chameleons. They take the form of a hummingbird... but how well? How many hummingbirds are actually hawk moths? I think we're getting closer to an actual answer to the original question: why are hummingbirds so... alien and ominous?
the smallest dinosaur!!!11
Love these little dudes. Saw a ton of them at the local botanical garden just zipping through the crowd with ease. Easily my favorite bird.
My great grandfather used to say that if I ever stood too close to a hummingbird feeder, which you could around his house without scaring the hummingbirds, they would ram full speed into your head and pierce your medulla oblongata and that then he would have to spend the rest of his elderly years cleaning the shit out of my diasbled ass's diapers
he was just saying that so your dumb ass wouldnt stand by the bird feeder and scare the hummingbirds
>inb4 without scaring them
you would have
they cute
OP you're a pussy lmao
>they cute
Are you joking?
I will suck my own dick if you can show me a documented case where a Hummingbird attacked someone in anger. Go on, I'm waiting
hope you washed yourself
you can suck mine if you dont want yours
1:34. I will not be redeeming the prize. Also, watch the way that the hummingbird has no problem picking on birds of prey (as it, itself, is a bird of prey.)
>not being so based that hummingbirds stop by to say hi every once in a while
Shiggy diggy
they fence. they go for the eyes. those beaks ain't for show.

You're actually not the first, believe It or not an entire civilization did It:
The Aztecs believed that Hummingbirds were somehow one of the most fearsome animals out there and that good warriors reincarnated as them. Which is why their patron god of war and sacrifice was a hummingbird-man
>The Aztecs believed that Hummingbirds were somehow one of the most fearsome animals out there
They are pretty hardcore for something so small
I had a hummingbird hover close to my face for the first time recently. Was very cute, but I might've thought differently if it decided to stab.
funny post, imagine not getting that it's a joke
You're the type to scream and shit your pants when a goose merely glances at you. A hummingbird is so small and a non-threat, and unless you get near a nest, most likely won't frick with you, just like every other bird/animal in existence.
This is pathetic. Imagine being mad at a fricking hummingbird of all things. Or feeling threatened by it. Truly a new low.
Geese are generally majestic creatures, save for the Canadian Goose who shits, honks, and struts around while occasionally setting up shop on a human-constructed pathway, which is more of an annoyance than a threat, the most they could do is divebomb people and peck them. Not a big deal.
Hummingbirds on the other hand can just appear anywhere, and suddenly you've got dozens of them, FAST. It's not like the goose who takes a fair bit longer to settle into a location. Hummingbirds chirp, but like bees, they hover in the air like little demonic helicopters while occasionally you catch a glimpse of their dark beady cold eyes and giant stinger-like beaks.
It's not, though. I believe the dawn of the Internet age has brought with it the need to reevaluate many things we've taken for granted, one of them being the hummingbird and the undue "what a beautiful graceful little bird" reputation it's been given by those in the past.
Does anyone even know any bird watchers personally? Have you known anyone who has ever observed hummingbirds? Are you still in contact with those people?
This guy's hitting the nail on the head here. The fricking AZTECS didn't just revere hummingbirds, they fricking believed they'd REINCARNATE AS HUMMINGBIRDS.
What the frick business does one of the most war-faring tribes in history have with this supposedly meek and mild little bird?
I'm just saying.. THINK.
Hummingbirds are horrifying but we are being told to think of them as "cute" for who the frick knows why.
>are you still in contact with bird watchers who have seen them?
funny lmao
Who was in the wrong here?
