That was wild. We have 4 hummingbird feeders and they swarm them like mosquitos. Will have to watch em better
now.?

WOW, at first glance I thought the humming bird was real!!

Yeah, incredible nature.
Great drone, my wife would fly that around the garden.
Tried to find the manufacturer but only found one googling hummingbird drone that makes tactical drone systems and missile systems.

@Rchawks saw your other post briefly, that might be the one I found, though obviously different with moving wings.
This is the link I found, it mentions DARPA.

The drone in the OP here looks like a home made job, but very effective !!
I would seriously buy that for the wife (if affordable), she'd fly it for sure and get up close to all the stuff we have in the garden, birds, animals, and yes butterflies.

If I had the knowledge to make put the drone parts together, I could easily make the bird body and paint etc.
