We already made it past $1000! Thank you so much! We are so honored to have this early support from you.
We want to continue to share these superpowers and help hummingbirds win the Animal Superpowers prize.
We only need donations of $5 or even $1 to move up in the competition. Please help us spread the word!
Thank you again!!

Flying at incredible speeds, often upside down and backwards, hummingbirds truly have superpowers! These aerial acrobatics help them defend flowers and avoid attacks! We want to uncover the dark side of the tiniest birds by examining their adaptations for fighting. In many hummingbird species, males have teeth-like spines and daggers on their bill tips and can inflict serious damage! However, based on our studies, these weapons should make it harder for males to drink nectar. How do they do it?
