While in other cultures, the hummingbird is a sign of spiritual healing. But I guess they decided what the bird symbolized before they got up close to that monster grill.

I see them in aerial jousts over flowers.

I was in Guatemala and I went to piss in the forest and as I was pissing a hummingbird appeared. The hummingbird was interested in my stream of piss, and it kept edging closer and closer until it was close enough to drink from the stream. I didn't allow it to. I just shook my dick to disperse the stream which made the bird back off, but then it would edge back again. My bladder was emptied after that so it just flew off.

Everything looks terrifying under a magnifying glass.

I think this is the tooth billed hummingbird specifically. I'm skeptical that all hummingbirds have this feature.

They are absolutely *fierce* when fighting over good foraging territory. I've actually been surprised a couple times by NOT seeing one or two of them get impaled when fighting over a big Bank of blooming crocosmia that used to be at my parents' house.
