The little tiny nest is one of the cutest things I've ever seen!❤
@@kimmccreery6688 It is! The smallest bird nest i would say. I’d imagine it would be hard seeing it unless you were really up close.
Seems to be very cozy….soft from the cobwebs it’s made from.
A tiny jewel.
Absolutely stunning bird, tiny but mighty!! Thanks for the video 🙏🏻 😍 🌎
Oh, that mosquito trying to dig its proboscis into the mother bird as she was feeding the chicks!
Saw that too!
Besides that it serves as a reference scale to realize how small those birds are, if it was a person that mosquito should be at least four inches long.
Tiny bird, big mosquito! Looked like the Alaskan mosquitoes. Lol
Yup! It’s at the 3:00 min mark of the vid.
They are so beautiful 😍
Hummingbirds don't pollinate with their tongues, which are wet and would retain the pollen, but with their beaks and heads!
Are you sure that humans should live in this world with them
All people that think this can leave first 👍
@@maralonent6257you never know then you end up
@@maralonent6257except that they’re the ones who would create a world where they, and we, and all species can thrive together…
Wow I've never seen baby hummingbirds, how cute ❤
Hummingbird must smell amazing since they are around flowers all the time.
Dont smell them, theyre small enough to go up your nose !
And here I'm thinking my ruby-throated hummingbird friend, who visits my yard because he loves my zinnias, is tiny! I hope these teeniest of birds will have full protection. ❤
The narrator speaks with awe in his voice,liked it.
Aww their eggs are smaller than jelly beans so stinking cute 🥹
Magnificent. Thank you. (I wanted to chase that mosquito @ 2:54 away, she's so TINY)
@@ColleenLytle-sq8tx yes they are such a tiny bird and the mosquito puts it in perspective!
3:09 omg, the mosquito was sucking the mom's blood while she's feeding her babies.
I doubt that mosquito got a good bite at all. So many feathers moving around.
Would’ve made a quick and easy snack for the hummingbird, had she noticed- and I think she would have, if she was bitten.
So cool! Gorgeous!
OMG!..I'm in love!
3:01 mama being attacked by a mosquito! 😮
Very beautiful
❤
Wow so utterly beautiful! Mankind really doesn't deserve this world when we put something like this in danger! Stop consuming and start caring!
@@thorium222 indeed we need to protect
All species, these little creatures especially!
@@BirdieLearning Yes!
I didn't know they were on the menu. 😮
@@-kabepugs3009 Haha, so funny. You perfectly know that rich assholes are destroying the world with their totally unnecessary overconsumption of everything.
Beauties
It is so amazing...I've got tears in my eyes as I have been so moved by such a lovely divine creature...Amazing! Lord you're so beautiful...wow😯😃😘🙏. Interesting video, bless you and thank you for shearing🙂.
@@peacockpaula4723 thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was a great video to work on.
Same, hummingbirds make me cry every time!
2:21 jesus christ, thats criminally adorable. 3:08 more jesus christ !! i never realised how small they are until saw them in comparasion to a mosquito
The wonder of nature is a Stunnig beauty.. magnificent little ones leves us brethless in this tiny little beauty Thank's for sharing this is verry impressive and informativ.. I would like to hear them sing.. smile.. Greetings from Skandinavia 💞🇮🇸😊👍💖
also you dont expect magnificence and smolness to be in this much harmony, but here they are.
Very nice and informative video. Just watched and subscribed to your channel. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
@@frankvqz3799 thank you so much! Appreciate the support!
Ahhh yes of course the mighty snowy owl has to consume thousands of bee hummingbird a day to sustain itself, that is if the bald eagles don't eat them all first lol
I read your post just after I'd posted similarly. Fair play. But to add to the story, the local name of zumzum chito deserves a comment. Whenever I see dragonflies hunting I give them "light-sabres" "zoom-zoom!" and chitos, aren't they lovely little snacks?
How cute, if I saw it IRL I'd probably freak out because I'd think it was a bug
A hummingbird with a name that sounds like "zoom zoom" is just perfect. (Are you also the voice of Evo Inception?)
Such a cool video! Just to get an idea of how small they are, have a look at the relative size of the mosquito that lands on the bird’s back around 3:00.
It might be small, but not even this bird escapes Cuban surveillance.
Praise be to God our awsome creator!! What a gem of little winged friend. 🤗🤗🥰
Omg this bird is so cute
So incredible! I live in the Northwest US near Canada, where we have two species, Annas hummingbird, and my favorite, the Rufous hummingbird, brilliant orange abd green, which summers in Alaska!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 amazing story thank you!
Coolest animal on the planet
So beautiful 😍
I want to own a giant hummingbird so I can ride it to magnificent adventures and victory!!!....
Nice!❤❤❤
@@JoyfulAnimals11 thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤ we don’t get these cuties in UK and I miss them ❤❤
precious !
🥰
Thats s bee mixed with roufus on thumbnail here in phx Az ive seen a bee mixed with lucifers tiny w purple gorget EB
Wow!
I think I saw some Moringa flowers! Cuba does not have mongoose!
@@cavaldom2 hi there, where abouts in the video did you see them?
@@BirdieLearning 0:57
@@cavaldom2I believe such flowers do grow in Cuba, any specific species of plant you are referring to?
❤
One of Gods feathered jewel's.
Interesting, a bit of a mistake to show a picture of a snowy owl when describing their predators (snowy owls live in the Artic Tundra).
When bee hummers sit the gorget goes down passed their feet so thats bigger bee than in AZ EB
Ashy-faced owl !! Not snowy! Wrong photo used here, too. Such beautyfull tiny aerial gems
Somehow I am less than convinced by the AI British voice, that the Cuban Hummingbird has much to fear from the artic snowy owl as the AI generated video posits. AI scripts and video editing will end the British accent being associated with truthfulness. David Attenborough weeps.
@@Naturallystated the snowy owl was shown for effect although it doesn’t specifically hunt this bird. Also this video isn’t ai generated and has been fact checked as we do all our videos.
We have them in Orlando FL.
I know it’s no Dino but I believe Dino’s had feathers just as a Dino ankylosaurus head i’v discovered
Ein penetranter Irrtum: Dinos waren nicht die Vorfahren von Vögeln, sondern aufgerichtete Echsen. Deren Skelett ist verhältnismäßig immer zu schwer zum Fliegen. Das der Vögel ist filigraner und ermöglicht erst das besondere Atemsystem der Vögel: gleichzeitig ein- und ausatmen, wie bei einer Doppel-Luftpumpe.
3:03 Mosquito sat on humming bird trying to suck blood!😮
The Evolution is fantastic,or was it designed by ??? :-)
Lovely video. How about going metric though?? :-)
Who’s the voice actor in the video, because it sounds like whoever it was who did the audiobook version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Smol borb
The birds and the bees at the same time... 😹
A beautiful bird, and a beautiful video commentary. Predators might include owls, but not the owl pictured, which is a snowy owl of the arctic. Sorry to nit-pick. Great story though, ❤
Notice the mosquito on the bee hummingbird?
Did anyone notice the mosquito on the female bird?!
Excellent content and presentation! ❤
Why does the thumbnail photo have a very different species of hummer? It's a Rufous Hummingbird of, primarily, western North America. Freaking ridiculous.
That's a dinosaur I'd like to meet!
Evolution was always an absurd notion but when some goober paleontoligist declared, with no evidence, that dinosaurs evolved into modern birds....well, that was just hilarious
Evolution was never an "absurd notion," there's plenty of evidence behind it. If you'd like I can share.
Same for your latter statement. I'd love to share the overwhelming evidence birds evolved from (and still are) dinosaurs. Also, this wasnt just "some goober paleontologist," they're declared dinosaurs by the entire field of biology, especially evolutionary biology.
@@mrdraco3758 I have studied the claims for 50 years. No proof. Fossil record is 98% extinct life forms. No transitions, only awful examples of various distinct species. It is so bad that it is impossible to prove, scientifically, anything. Evolution is conjecture based on speculation because that's all it can ever be. None of that matters because it is also impossible for random natural events to conjure complex molecules essential for life.....and reproduction. Even a rudimentary knoeledge of geology, chemistry, physics prove it laughable. Even if something more complex than simple compounds occurred, then what? It would require billions of iterations of increasingly complex modifications to become even rudimentary precursor to DNA. With no intelligent guidance. And it would have to be in a protected environment for billions of years with all the essential materials and reactions nearby. A famous experiment tried to do just that in a laboratory with ideal conditions and perfect materials. It was a total failure but claimed to have created simple amino acids or something like that. That experiment was designed, fabricated, initiated, controlled by intelligent beings and that is cheating, evolution has no guidance, interfering, only random natural events allowed. Nature is horrible, hostile, chaotic and random natural events create nothing except simple minerals, crystals etc. This all means evolution, all of it, every version is crappola. Life of any kind, no matter how simple, must have a myriad of complex molecules and there must be coded DNA or there cannot be reproduction. They must also be carbon based, other systems have been modeled, they all crash. Natural random events will never ever generate complex carbon based molecules. The ridiculous notion that these molecules originated in a pool of crud at the base of a volcano that got zapped by lightning is absurd, impossible yet that is what is forced on our children and the public. Darwin was, in his own words, a lunatic, look for that. Yet everything we do is to try to prove evolution, that it must have happened elsewhere but we have never proved it did or could.

Living dinosaur?! An absurd claim lacking any proof!
birds don't have chins.
WHAT ABOUT THE H7MMI G BIRD MOTH.
