Do you know the name of this kind of bird (details inside)?

Hummingbird.

@kritiper Thanks a lot :) That’s it.

I used to have Ruby-Red Throat Hummingbirds at my Hummingbird Feeder all Spring Summer and Fall.
The feeder was just outside my shower window so I could watch them while showering after a hard day’s work.

We here call it a ‘Kolibri’, which is a much better name than “hummingbird”.
Imagine calling a Python a “chokingsnake”, or a Crocodile a “bitinglizard”.

@ragingloli Brings up a good point with Kolibri (or Colibri) – Hummingbird. This type of ammunition is called Colibri and has the imprint of a hummingbird on the bottom of the casing. The bullet is small, has a pointed nose, and uses no powder except for the primer. It is almost silent.

Often the bird announces its presence by the high-pitched but noticeable sound of the wings beating rapidly (50 -100 times a second) as it hovers, hence the common name in English.

I have a lot of flowers they love, like red bee balm and columbines, and I usually hear them before I see them. If I were just using my eyes, I might miss some of the show. The odd noise alerts me to pay attention and look around more closely.

@ragingloli‘s comment piqued my curiosity and so I just discovered that in French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish it is also le (il, o, el) colibri. and in Dutch, de kolibrie.

Plus, apparently the genus is colibri or colubris.

When my wife got her cochlear implants, she was able to hear the humming birds, which is something I cannot.

Correction: Hummers can beat their wings up to 200 times a second.

What I did not know until last year was that there is a moth called the hummingbird moth that supposedly in flight is pretty much indistinguishable from the hummingbird. Has anyone here ever seen one?

Yes, regularly here. I notice it at night on the outside of the windows in rooms with lights on.

I also see it outside from time to time.

@Cruiser We have hummingbird moths here too. They hang around my butterfly bush while the humbirds feed on the sugar-water feeder about 40 ft away.
