Love hummingbirds. Their wing motion is so mesmerising. Vicious bastards though.
-
They think they're vicious anyway. CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!!

East of the Rockies, we get ONE species of hummingbird. But they're still beautiful creatures.
-
Such a beautiful and proud birb.
-
Whats this? A therapod dinosaur filling the niche of a bee?
-
They are very pretty. But they don't look like this photoshopped version.
Edit: I'll admit when I'm wrong. It's real.

I was wondering why you guys are saying it's photoshopped. Even Wikipedia haste incredible photos of this species.

I agree with you, Bruno. It looks real to me. A Costa Humming bird like you said earlier. So cute!

Not photoshopped, just edited in Lightroom. Here's the raw. It really looks like that.
-
Thanks for sharing that.
The jacked up contrast threw me off.
Also, blues and purples are rare in nature, especially in animals. Which is part of why I jump to that conclusion.

No one noticing this is a terrible photoshop makes me suspicious Lemmy is mostly bots and stupid people

I think you're wrong. It's called Calypte costae https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa%27s_hummingbird
-
Or maybe we just aren't insufferable, chronically online people who have to scream "fake" at everything.
-
I mean it's edited in Lightroom, but just lighting. The colors are not altered. Here's the raw so you can compare.

It's purple! Why aren't there more purple birds?
Where do I go to see purple adorable hummingbirds? I would love to see some one day.
I took this in my back patio actually. I live in the Palm springs area. There are at least 3 of them total that live in my condo complex.
I never expected to want to go to Palm Springs! If I'm ever out that way, at least now I'll have a good reason.
