This hummingbird is really putting in the effort. Weighed down by two heavy tail feathers, the males can hardly fly for more than a few seconds, but must in order to impress and win a mate. The result? A beautiful mating dance. Watch this video from the BBC.
Levi Novey: U.S. Department of Defense to Use Hummingbirds as Spies
Robotic hummingbirds will be able to discretely enter areas where people would not be able to go without being detected and will look so realistic that people could easily be fooled.

Many thanks
Environment News Service ran this clip more than a year ago.... ZZZZzzzzz
JF, I'm curious... Since you've seen this, why wouldn't you just move on to something else instead of leaving a comment designed to let everyone else know how ahead of the curve you are? Don't guys like you realize that your zzzzzzz comment is exactly what other people think of comments like yours... and you?
Ouch
Snap!
This is heaven for a wanna-be twitcher. Thanks!
twitcher = bird watcher
Why is it that the males in all other species are the peacocks, so to speak, except for humans? We females paint our faces and do the dances? What's up with that ;)?
Sort of a good question.... Though I suppose a man's "feathers" is the diamond ring?
Working is the dancing and a wallets contents are his make-up.
That's recent. Look at Renaissance clothing and dance: meant to show off a man's jewelry and nice legs.
Wow, truly stunning!
this was adorable! His dance was beautiful, loved it!
That looks exhausting.
fascinating!
Looks similar to what I did every weekend night when I was single trying to attract the ladies!
Whew!
Why does this gross me out. The dance of desperation. Ewww.
Way cool!
So you think YOU can dance.
Ha - marked as Fav
Okay I want out of the "Rat Race" for a moment! Nothing better than a wonderful mating dance.
And this m.ating dance wasn't strictly moderated? I'm SHOCKED, I tell you , SHOCKED.
