Hummingbirds' wings flap so fast to enable them to hover, that they create a constant humming sound, it is only while they are hovering in one place, that the sound is audible. ---- Actually they have their own chirp. My colony fights all the time, and they are very vocal. The sound called humming is like the zip-ting of the Road Runner, it's the velocity, not the call. Ancient Joke: Because they don't know the words. (I couldn't hold Evil Chuck back any longer!)

∙ 11y agoWhen hummingbirds fly from flower to flow they collect nectar. Often pollen collects on their beak. When they fly to the next flow some of the pollen stays at that flower and pollinates it.
