The short film highlighted below is both a promotion and from a course on hummingbirds from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.  

Its title, Extreme Hummingbirds (4m 58s), tells you what it is about. It is from the online course The Wonderful World of Hummingbirds, taught by Professor Alan McGowan. When he talks about characteristics of a species, lengths and weights, he uses both English and metric units.

There is information about the course at this site. There you can preview three videos and one interactive.

 

What a remarkable and splendid group of birds.
