A stunning footage has surfaced that shows a hummingbird eating from a man's hand.
This slow-motion video was recorded by Nicolas Reusens in Mindo Ecuador. It features Nicolas holding a Hummingbird feeder as a tiny, adorable hummingbird flies into the scene and starts eating from the feeder.
The cutest thing about this video is how the hummingbird is swallowing the food in intervals and how it is not fearing someone standing right next to it. After eating for a while, the hummingbird decides to rest on Nicolas' cap before it resumes its eating session.
Nicolas happens to be a wildlife photographer and according to him, living with these stunning hummingbirds for weeks has led to him gaining their trust.
He told us: "As a wildlife photographer, I´ve been living with these incredible hummingbirds for weeks. After gaining their trust, I was able to feed them directly from my hand and even have them posing on my finger!"
This heartwarming scene was documented on February 7, 2021.
