They can't walk....huh. That's interesting. I wondered why they would hover alot to feed rather then land on the rest. Maybe that is why.

They're amazing little things built for flight. (I guess that's why I have so much useless trivia about them.)

Muscles weigh a lot, and hummers consume between 6 and 12 THOUSAND calories a day as it is.

It would be like one of us having to eat a whole cow every day!
