What Happens to Your Hummingbirds at Night, You've Never Seen This

🌙 Ever wondered what happens to a hummingbird at night? While you're asleep in a warm house, one of the fastest little creatures on earth is doing something that looks a lot like dying, just a few yards from your window. And almost nobody ever sees it. By day, a hummingbird is pure energy: wings beating fifty times a second, heart racing past a thousand beats a minute, feeding almost non-stop. But when the sun drops and the flowers close, it has to survive eight cold hours on an empty tank. So it does something incredible.
