A Hummingbird Love Story

SHARE

Hummingbirds Mikhail and Alexa happily share a cage. Although they are different species of hummingbirds, the two get along well, and it may even be the start of a hummingbird romance.

TRANSCRIPT

- So this is Mikhail and Alexa's new cage.

Mikhail and Alexa are just happy together.

Alexa, she was hit by a car.

Mikhail, he was a little bit sulky at first, but then he met Alexa and he fell in love.

He taps her chest with his bill and he taps her toes with his bill and he snuggles up to her at night.

They're very close.

Not all birds like each other.

If hummingbirds don't like their immediate company, they will kill them.

I have a picture of two dead hummingbirds, and it's a male and a female.

I'm like, whoa, that was a serious interaction, even though they're different species.

I mean they were all beat up.

You could tell they had done it to each other.

He's been obsessed with Alexa for the last week or so.

The chances of Mikhail succeeding with Alexa are pretty low.

I don't know if Mikhail knows that Alexa's a different species.

Alexa tolerates him.

So that's a love story we need to explore further.
