Hummingbirds are amazing creatures to behold.
They are the tiniest of birds, yet possess natural born superpowers that enable them to fly backward, upside-down, and float in mid-air.
Their wings beat faster than the eye can see and the speed at which they travel makes people wonder if it was indeed a hummingbird they actually saw. They also are only found in the Americas. These attributes have both intrigued scientists and made it challenging to study the species, but with the latest high-speed cameras and other technologies, Super Hummingbirds reveals new scientific breakthroughs about these magical birds.
Emmy-winning filmmaker Ann Johnson Prum returns with her second film on hummers which presents new scientific discoveries such as how hummingbirds drink a flower’s nectar so quickly or why they are able to thrive in the thin air at high altitudes.
For the first time, viewers will see the birds mate, lay eggs, fight, and raise families in intimate detail
