Hummer Sonata

The Hummingbird Movie

Follow the adventures of two newborn hummingbirds as they grow up in their nest. Nurtured by their mother, they test their wings and prepare for their first flight.

Set to a score composed by Johann Sebastian Bach and performed by the United States Air Force Band, the birds in this beautifully photographed and edited musical nature video were filmed over a two-week period in a suburban neighborhood in California. The DVD will make a great gift for the bird lover in your life.

Approx 20 minutes, including bonus footage. 6.99

  1. What incredible footage. That nest is built so solid…how do they do that. How did you find this nest, get a camera there, man the camera without disturbibg them?WOW!!Those babies had to muster up courage much bigger than them to fly!!!

  3. Although performances by military bands are not copyrighted and thus are in the public doman, the Air Force Band requests filmmakers to display that disclaimer — as a courtesy, it is not a requirement — at the end of any project that incorporates their performances. — Braddon

  4. I like the implication at the end that the United States Air force might not want to be associated with this video.

    I fail to see what opinion is here, except for: “HUMMINGBIRDS!!”

    A lieutenant general, sitting at his computer: “WHAT?! HUMMINGBIRDS?!”

  8. wow…. so beautiful to see what creatures without our intellect are able to do by mere instinct. And very inspiring to see those babies go ahead and fly with no fear!
