Female hummingbirds are amazing hard workers! Righteous warriors in the hummingbird breeding game! Their nests are little miracles that serve so many needs.

Absolutely incredible, Emerald! Precise engineering. I love the music, Carole! Thank you for sharing.

A little bit of this strong stuff. A little bit of that soft stuff, then tamp, tamp, tamp...spin. Repeat and just like that...voilà!! A perfect baby basket🥰 Great work Emerald!! Thanks so much Carole for showing us so many amazing things we'd never see without you!

There are masterful avian architects like this, and then there are pigeons. 😐 Super job, Emerald! ❤️

[@KrazyKramer]

Beautiful. ❤️ Give Glory to God Just amazing!

I am in so much awe, that none of these birds were taught how to build their own unique type of nests, and where to gather the items to build them, yet a hummingbird's nest is different from a robin's, which is different from a magpie's, etc. It blows my mind how they instinctively just 'know'.

Nature at it's most artful state. A work of art she built and thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏💙🌎👩‍🦳

I had an Allen hummer build a nest on patio string lights just outside the kitchen window in Orange County, California last June. What a privileged view of these mesmerizing, miraculous little creatures! Now I'm forever a hummingbird lover.

[@spiritofkem]

Beautiful! What an artist Emerald is! :)

[@dewbow134]

whoa its amazing how fast the nest builds up. i remember when every time I got on the video I would rewind 12 hours to see how small the nest was then compared to how it was currently. 😃

[@tannercortes6110]

thank you for the effort making this video. Emerald is amazing!!!

[@sheri.l.williamson]

Amazing how God's creatures work

[@pummelu3423]

So cute

[@saintpo]

Much appreciated thanks.

[@melviasheppard8466]

She can build a house without having hands. Yet I have 3 men working on remodeling the kitchen for 2 months 😣. I should have been a Hummingbird ☺️

[@down-the-rabbit-hole]

Thanks for adding the other hummingbird nest cam in addition to the the on e with Emerald. My concern with the other nest cam that was added is if that piece of big fruit that the nest is sitting on drops off? I mean as fruit gets ripe on trees, it often drops off, and if it did, wouldn't it take the nest to the ground with it? Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, it really looks like it's sitting on the big piece of fruit....It would be nice if they could put an old soft blanket under the nest in case that happens...

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Don’t worry, it takes 2-3 months for that fruit to ripen.

[@down-the-rabbit-hole]

@@HummingbirdSpot Okay, good to know, thank you!

[@wfpa40yt]

😄💕

[@edp3421]

Question do you know of any hummingbird bird houses , had a hummingbird and he got attacked and lost the kids so I was thinking of building a hummingbird house but what’s the success rate of them using the house, human build house ? Thanks you

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Intuitively you would think it’s a good idea but they won’t use them.

[@skooter6235]

All done without instructions or a blue print

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Amazing, isn't it? Nature's architects.

[@atomicplaygirl66]

3:30 She moves so fast.......maybe I'm not seeing what I think I saw. 🧐🤔 It looks like she just plucked a flying insect out of the air and then used its body as packing material for her nest. It can be a "sneaky-snack" for later. 😂😂😂

[@GhostLoreYT]

I've saw em strike and chomp bees in ½ in a blink when the bees got close to the feeder!

[@atomicplaygirl66]

@GhostLoreYT that is an amazing skill-set in the bird 🌎 . Very cool.
