    Was confused, lived in Palestine and we definitely had hummingbirds.

    had to check out.

    We call them hummingbirds, they look like hummingbirds, act and fly like hummingbirds.

    but they are not hummingbirds, TIL those are sunbirds,

      I wasn’t familiar, they’re beautiful birds! That said, I read that they feed while perched, while I think the defining feature of hummingbirds is they feed while hovering. https://thisweekinpalestine.com/the-palestine-sunbird/

        I feel like I am going crazy,

        I definitely remember watching them sipping nectar while hovering, and now I am wondering if I Mandela effected myself somehow

          Good thing I can take personal credit for all these plants. Sort of like how I helped my local sports team win the championship.

    I had no idea hummingbirds are only native to the Americas. Interesting
