I really wonder what the other people thought, that they just landed on the core of their body? I suppose they could defecate while in flight, but man that would be a drag.
Probably comes from the old tale that hummingbirds never stop flapping their wings or they die so why would they need feet?
Hummingbirds, the real Speed and Crank stars.
Is it a tale? It thought stopping would basically overclock the heart after too long. I saw one land the other day (possibly the first time I've ever seen that) and it kept flapping while hanging onto a twig.
I've seen 4 hummingbirbs on a feeder at once yet they are usually very territorial. and yes they do sit if your feeder has leg rests.
Same with sharks
Wow, I never knew sharks had wings.
/s
Nor feet!
How can you be sure are you a sharkologist?
I had never heard that before, crazy
