    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.
