    This person has never been strafed by an angry hummingbird for daring to refill the feeder!

    Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen a hummingbird that isn't angry. Their entire language is just high-pitched invective and curses.

    Beautiful creatures, but it's a damn good thing they're so little.

      Ours strafe us when we forget to refill the feeders, especially in the winter when food is scarce. They fly over 60 mph, so it's pretty scary when they go zipping past, inches from your face.
