Those are dinosaurs.
I had no idea long-tailed hummingbirds existed! Blowing my mind as they have so many obstacles to overcome, and yet they fly that thing around?!
Did the other one have the same tail and the view is foreshortened? I’m betting the long-tail bird is male and the other female? No way that’s two males peacefully coexisting. :)
This is the most beautiful thing I’ll see all day. Thanks OP! Hummingbirds and dragonflies are my favorite animals. Vicious and successful little predators!
To be honest, I have no idea if they are the same/different species. I’m not an expert at hummingbirds. At this little road-side cafe between Quito and Mindo, we saw hundreds of hummingbirds, and dozens of varieties. It was one of the most remarkable places I’ve ever been. We ate lunch with them flying all over the place around us.
One of my other favorites was this one with fuzzy white balls of feathers on their feet (he doesn’t stay long in the video):
No video?
Does it not show? I uploaded to catbox.moe which usually works, but they do have occasional outages
It shows blank but I picked the URL out of your source. Very cool!
Such long tail!
Gorgeous! Is that a long-tailed sylph?
That looks like a good fit!
Absolutely beautiful.
Would watch for 1-2 hours.
We were at that cafe for about an hour eating lunch and drinking coffee. We were surrounded by hummingbirds the whole time. It was bliss.
Whaaaat?? How cool!
