I get many of these at my feeder, along with Costa's, and I knew about their aereal displays. I didn't know they could dive at 9G's. I, also, did not know that they flapped their wings before the dive.
This is incredible info. I love it that the females aren't impressed by the males' pick-up "line."

Hummer Fantaskik

As we have a lot of Hummers coming to our feeders I have seen the little bullets. But never realized excstly just how incredible they are.
we have 8 feeders out 1 64 oz,6 quarts and this year I am up to 63 pounds of sugar just to feed them all. I have boths Rufus and Annas.
We realy enjoy those little acrobatic fliers.
