What happens when you put a hummingbird in a wind tunnel?

Scientists have used a high-speed camera to film hummingbirds' aerial acrobatics at 1000 frames per second. They can see, frame by frame, how neither wind nor rain stop these tiniest of birds from fueling up. (From @KQEDScience)

1. I watched a hummingbird at my feeder, the wind was blowing pretty hard,

the bird had its beak in the little hole and went back and forth with the feeder, both swaying in the wind. It never missed a beat.

2. I like hummingbirds as much as I like elephants, and that's a lot!
