There are soon six birds hovering around him and waiting their turn to feed from one of the three feeding plates.
The man remains completely still as the hummingbirds hover around his head.
He keeps a straight face for the first half of the clip but breaks into a slight smile as more birds flock to the feeder.

Hummingbirds are always hungry because of their extremely fast metabolism which means they have to consume half their bodyweight every day, according to Discover Wildlife.
When they sleep, they have to go into a deeper state which resembles a mini hibernation called torpor.
During this time, their metabolism slows right down so that they can get through the night.
If they were to sleep in a normal way, they'd starve overnight.
Their diet is mostly made up of nectar, but they also eat small insects and spiders.
