In flight, hummingbirds reach top speeds of 30 mph while moving forward, but they can double that speed to up to 60 mph while diving.

Fairly loud when they buzz past your ear too!

Something I didn't know about them is that they are mean!

A neighbor down the street had several feeders and who knows how many birds that came to them.....it's was nuts and don't get in their way either! lol
 
I had a feeder at the corner of my garage, where I could stand VERY STILL, and watch em feed , and fight, from about three feet away. They got used to me standing there occasionally, and as long as I didn't move, they didn't seem to care. Four feeding posts, four birds at a time frequently, as long as the dominant male wasnt chasing them away.
I don't have the feeder up anymore, but I do have a big honeysuckle, and the hummers still use that sometimes.

I call them the little fighter planes. We have 3 feeders and plenty of flowers. We had one who would sit in the tree and when another would try to go to one particular feeder, he would dive at them. They do sound like mini planes when they fight.

Batting practice for the big game.
You either show up prepared and rehearsed or you make mistakes and get benched for the rest of the game.
