Hummingbirds For Mom

Archive for the ‘Hummingbird Videos’ Category

Many people will never see a hummingbird nest, so I thought you would enjoy getting to see the mother hummingbird constructing the nest.

If you want to try and spot a hummingbird nest on your own, here’s what to look for. In general, hummingbirds mate and nest during the times of year when flower blossoms are abundant. In tropical areas, where food is available year round, the breeding season is less predictable.

It is also important when trying to find a hummingbird nest to look near a water source. Humidity is important to ensure the development of the embryo inside the egg.

This video makes me think of my mom, because I know that she would have enjoyed seeing it. To my knowledge, mom never had the good fortune to see a hummingbird nest in person.

The flight of the hummingbird is quite unique because of their ability to maintain sustained hovering as well as their ability to fly backward, being the only group of birds able to do so. Hummingbirds may also fly vertically and laterally.

If you have ever wondered what makes hummingbirds so agile and maneuverable, then this video is just what you have been looking for because it will provide you with the answer. Tyson Hedrick, assistant professor of biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, talks about his research, which seeks to explain the flight mechanics of hummingbirds and other winged creatures.

It is believed that this research also might help lead to the development of more effective aerial robotics. Hedrick’s study appears in the April 10, 2009, issue of the journal Science.

I must apologize for the title of this video, as it does not reflect what the video is truly about, but it is the title given to the video by the maker of the video. That is why I kept the title rather then changing it.
