Hummingbirds are very close and aggressive, often chasing birds that are several times larger than them. It's just a nest near where I live, and when a flower wilts in the winter, it will fly to the balcony to find nectar to eat.

Photographing hummingbirds requires patience like fishing, but also luck. Sometimes I wait all day and don't get a picture, and sometimes I meet it without waiting. Yesterday when I passed the aisle downstairs, it was standing on a small tree on the side, and I just happened to be carrying a camera, and it stood for me to shoot.
