Tail Flaring During Agonism in Hummingbirds

Rosalee Elting, Md Zafar Anwar, Donald R. Powers…·Bret W. Tobalske

The paper examines tail flaring in hummingbirds during male-male fights, finding greater tail flare angles during fights compared to non-aggressive maneuvers and field observations show tail flaring is common in contests.

Hummingbirds rapidly respond to the removal of vision and control a sequence of rate-commanded maneuvers in milliseconds

Md Zafar Anwar, Bret W. Tobalske, Suyash Agrawal…·Bo Cheng

This study shows hummingbirds control rapid flight maneuvers using rate-commanded movements and respond to vision loss after a critical time during escape sequences.
