Watch in slow motion as this hummingbird hovers by making a figure 8. Hummingbirds are the only birds capable of sustained hovering. They can maintain their position in mid-air by flapping their wings in a figure-eight pattern. I watch them outside my office window as they consume up to twice their body weight in nectar daily. Now, that's a success against all odds real-life poster!
