Spaceship has landed in a patch of helliconia flowers.
Well not landed actually, hovered.
A hummingbird almost always hovers when it eats.
Spaceship is sipping nectar from flowers.
A clear sugary liquid called nectar is what gives the hummingbird his energy.
He spends most of his time drinking that sugary water so he can get enough energy for his high action flying.
In fact a hummingbird has to drink nectar every 10 minutes or so or else, he won't be able to fly.
Hey that's it.
While he's busy sipping nectar, that's when we can touch him.
- I'm on it.
Launching zip line.
(swishing through the air) (thud) We'll show Koki that we can touch a hummingbird.
- Go ahead, I'm watching.
- Zipline locked and ready for zipping.
While spaceship is busy sipping nectar, we'll just zip by and touch him before he can even react.
- Right behind you bro.
(energetic music) Oh, I almost had him.
- Keep going bro.
We'll get him this time.
(groaning) - That was so close.
(screaming)
