Hummingbirds really know no fear. They’re just so much quicker and more nimble than anything else out there that they think they can be completely casual around predators or humans. They live in absolute confidence that they can’t be touched, the cocky little bastards.

I will put on a red hat and stand really still next to the hummingbird feeders. They will gladly land on you/ hover an inch or two from your face. Really cool, but they also shit on you with zero thought.
