Hummingbirds are one of mother nature’s coolest creations and they hold quite a few interesting records in the bird world. Some species are among the smallest birds on earth, which explains why they also have the smallest nests and lay the smallest eggs.
Not only that, they also beat their wings the fastest, some up to 90 times per second! They also hold the title of eating the largest amount of food, since many need to consume at least half their body weight in food every single day in order to stay active and healthy. In turn, they have the highest known metabolic rate in the entire animal kingdom.
Plus, they have the ability to fly backwards, can change direction on a dime, and are lightning quick. All these traits and their beautiful, glittering feathers are what makes hummingbirds absolutely mesmerizing to watch. By their nature, they are very inquisitive, and if you put up a feeder they’ll be drawn towards it because their curiosity seems to always get the best of them.
Most hummingbird species in North America spend summers breeding in the Eastern states before heading south to winter in Central America. Some of them end up in Sedona, Arizona, home of the famous red rock formations and well known for its natural beauty.
The southwestern area is a place many wintering birds call home and it’s also where YouTube user Blueskeye lives. Blueskeye filmed an incredible interaction he had with a pair of hummingbirds and thankfully shared it so you can see just how adorable and sweet it truly was.
He explained the background of the story and wrote that back in February of 2011 Sedona was experiencing an extremely cold snap of winter weather. It was so cold that the nectar he put out to feed a pair of friendly hummingbirds kept freezing up within an hour of being outside.
To keep the hummingbird’s tummies full and the food from freezing up, he placed a heating pad underneath one of the feeders. When he checked on it the following morning he saw a lovely sight, the two tiny birds were sitting atop the heating pad and cozily drinking up their food!
Blueskeye named the pair of Anna’s Hummingbirds Rocky and Adrian, no doubt in homage to the characters in the award winning Sylvester Stallone film, Rocky. He and the two hummingbirds became very good friends. In fact, they were so close that little birds would sit on his hand while feeding and right next to him while he unfroze their food with a hairdryer!
The birds must have been really cold because Rocky even sat in front of the dryer so the warm air would blow on him. Most animals are scared of the powerful and strange rush of warm air they make, not to mention the loud noise, and many a cat or dog has been terrified by a dryer.
If you didn’t previously understand why people love and go out of their way to feed and attract hummingbirds, perhaps this video will show you why. The lively little birds are not only pretty to look at, they’re also very friendly and easily become accustomed to being around people.
After time many won’t hesitate to feed at flowers or nectar feeders located close to windows and houses. Support your local hummingbirds today and set up your own feeder. Then you can watch them play and interact with each other as they zip around!

These Are The Top 5 Phones That Give Off The Highest Radiation. Is Yours On The List?
image via – youtube.com
Just about everyone owns, or at least uses, a cell phone these days. Even some kids who can’t speak yet have access to the the devices, they are simply everywhere. In the span of a few short years they have become widely available and increasingly affordable. While they make life all the more convenient, there remains a lot of questions and concerns about whether or not they are completely safe to use.
On of the main issues surrounding cell phone safety is whether or not they increase the risk of developing cancer or tumors in the neck and head areas. This concern is borne out of the fact that cell phone antennas emit radiofrequency energy waves, which are a form of non-ionizing radiation that our bodies can absorb.
Experts have been divided for years, and remain split to this day, as to whether or not the radiofrequency energy given off by cell phones leads to a higher risk of developing cancer. In addition, many other factors come into play, such as how much time an individual spends on their phone, where they hold and store it, the type of cell phone used, and so forth.
Regardless of what the answer may turn out to be, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been exercising oversight over the levels of radiation that cell phones are allowed to emit. In terms of health and safety standards, FCC regulations state that all cell phones sold in the US must be tested for their SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate.
That value is the rate at which radiation from a cell phone is being absorbed into the human body when the phone is held up next to the ear. The maximum rate allowed is 1.6 watts per kilogram of body weight. A device whose SAR exceeds this amount is deemed unfit for human use and thus banned from being sold.
CNET, the leading online tech review website, has been keeping track of the SAR for every cell phone that they have ever reviewed. In the clip below CNET senior editor Donald Bell lays out the top five cell phones with the highest levels of radiation, or SAR scores, which can also be found right here:
1) Motorola Droid Maxx, SAR 1.54. Sold by Verizon Wireless 2) Motorola Droid Ultra, SAR 1.54. Sold by Verizon Wireless 3) Motorola Moto E, SAR 1.5 4) Alcatel One Touch Evolve, SAR 1.49. Sold by T-Mobile 5) Huawei Vitria, SAR 1.49. Sold by metroPCS
The worst cell phone on the list, the Motorola Droid Max, is also one of the priciest and best rated ones. Mr. Bell notes that CNET reviewers gave it 4.5 stars and praised it as an “outstanding phone” thanks in part to its 15 hour battery life. Numbers one and two are the more expensive models on the list, while the remaining three are comparatively cheaper android phones.
The next time you go to pick out a new cell phone, be sure to look up what the SAR is for any that you like. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and to make informed choices that are best, and healthiest, for ourselves.

Vicks VapoRub has been around forever, as a staple to relieve chest congestion and coughing, that brings back childhood memories of our moms taking care of us. While today, the go-to treatments usually come in the form of pills or tablets, Vicks is still in business treating ailments with Vapors.
The most important ingredients in Vicks, that relieve congestion and coughing through breathing in, are Camphor, Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol. Though this is fairly well known, what is not common knowledge is that Vicks lends itself to other home remedies. Perhaps, it is the many unusual uses of Vicks, that has kept it on the shelves of our pharmacies for so many decades.
Some of the suggestions made in the video below, for Vick’s fresh, strong-smelling ointment are for: Relief of common Headaches; pain relief will come quickly when Vicks is applied to your temples. LiveStrong suggests breathing in slowly and deeply after placing Vicks under your nose.
Muscle ache relief can be achieved when Vicks is massaged in, followed by wrapping your muscles in a dry, warm towel, according to LiveStrong.
Toenail fungus can be alleviated by rubbing VapoRub into them, 2-3 times per day; this may be required for a few weeks, and perhaps months to beat the fungus.
Cracked heels are one of the worst parts of the wear and tear of winter. If you put Vicks on the heels and balls of your feet, paying particular attention to the most cracked areas, and then sleep with socks on you are on your way to repair.
eHow suggests that when you awake rinse the Vicks with warm water and use a pumice stone to exfoliate the dead skin.
AnswersVideo tells us that bugs can be repelled by putting a touch of Vicks on your clothing and skin. If for some reason, you are just too sweet for the bugs to resist, use the Vicks to relieve itching.
For all you Cat Lovers, who don’t love having your kitties scratch your furniture, dab on Vicks and they will stay away!
As long as you don’t have an open wound, a mixture of Vicks and salt can be applied, for faster healing. This seems to occur by the combo aiding your blood to circulate more rapidly, which promotes faster healing.

Dogs are full of funny surprises, especially young, adorable little puppies. Not only are puppies super cute, but they are a source of constant entertainment. Putting a puppy together with a full grown dog is always fun to watch but you need to keep a close eye on them. Lacie, the small black and tan puppy with tiny white paws in this video, is proof of this but she’s also full of something else..
Lacie was messing around with her new brother Mac the Corgi while the 2 were getting to know one another better. They were both starting to get really excited and were amping each other up, yapping and nipping as they bonded over playtime. Even though Mac, being a Corgi and small to begin with, isn’t all that big he still manages to dwarf little Lacie. That’s probably why she resorts to some unique tactics to gain an upper hand!
According to her owner, YouTube user TBL4, Lacie often ‘plays dirty’ and she one-ups her bro here in a very foul way. As their play fight reaches a crescendo she spins around and sticks her furry behind in Mac’s unsuspecting face, then lets one rip! His reaction to the sudden burst of toxic air is absolutely hilarious. The moment it dawns on him that he got farted on is the whole point of watching the video so check it out, it’s so worth the wait..

Soldier Became Best Friends With 3 Strays But After A Bomb Went Off No One Expected THIS! I Have Chills!
image via – facebook.com
It is hard to imagine what it is like to be a soldier serving our country in Afghanistan. The daily anxiety of whether you will make it through each day, in an area where your life is constantly under threat, is truly unimaginable.
Although the men and women who serve are at another level of bravery, anything that can give them comfort to say sane and balanced is most welcome. For Sgt. Chris Duke this comfort came in the form of three stray dogs who provided company and the warm feeling of home.
Sgt. Duke befriended these dogs, whom he named Sacha, Rufus and Target. One night as he and the other 50 soldiers in the barrack were asleep, they were awakened by the three dogs barking loudly. A suicide bomber had made his way into the camp, with the intention of setting off a bomb and killing all the men.
The dogs heard the intruder and then attacked him before he could enter the barracks, saving all 50 men. Sadly, he set off the bomb, and Sacha was so badly hurt that he had to be put to sleep; Rufus and Target survived. After his tour was over Sgt. Duke returned home but couldn’t stop thinking about his pals Rufus and Target.

She Got Home Happy After A Date. Then Posted This On Facebook 2 Hours Later? She Was Found Dead!
image via – youtube.com
Amber Cornwell wrote this on her Facebook page: “If I die tonight, would anyone cry?” This update appeared just hours before her parents found her hanging in her closet! She was pronounced dead at the scene. In the video you are about to watch below, her heartbroken parents speak out.
Amber had been bullied mercilessly for years; despite her parent’s belief that her life had taken a more positive turn, Amber simply could not go on. Bullying wears away at the soul, particularly during the teenage years, when fitting in is paramount. Her parents are speaking out to, yet again, bring attention to the destruction caused by bullying.
It cannot be assumed that your child’s self-esteem is intact when they have been victimized by years of bullying. Counseling support should be a requisite part of their lives to try to monitor for suicidal thoughts and inclinations.
The East Henderson High School in North Carolina held a candlelight vigil for Amber after her death, but has remained silent about the claims of bullying that she had experienced since the sixth grade. Her parents are keeping the focus on
Amber’s story; she was tortured by “mean…stuff [said] to her face, [and] behind her back.” Cruel messages on Facebook permeated her life after school hours. Children can be helped with individual counseling, but unless schools incorporate sensitivity programs against bullying, teen suicides will continue to permeate our culture.
Bullying is truly an epidemic that needs to finally come to an end. Hopefully this story will be a wake up call for many..

VIDEO: THIS Virgin Atlantic Plane Is Overtaken By A Possible UFO Flying Over New York!
image via – youtube.com
Well this video of a UFO overtaking a plane is starting to make it’s rounds around the internet. Nobody can really tell if this one is a real or a fake, but it is definitely causing quite the stir.. Is it a bird? Is it another plane? A drone? or possible Aliens? We may never know, however we have the footage and these two guys break it down frame by frame.
So let’s say for hypothetical purposes it is a real alien ufo.. What does this mean for our planet? Does this change everything we ever knew about life? Does this change how we view ourselves in the universe?
Here it is, folks, here it is. You have suffered through countless fakes, innumerable hoaxes, and at least 47 easily explainable things which some zealous individuals convinced themselves were UFOs. You have had your hopes elevated through the clouds, to other worlds where advanced civilizations are thriving, a million years more evolved than our own.
They have conquered the apparent limitations posed by long distance space travel, found our tiny little planet, and made the epic journey from their home to ours. Why did they come, and what will they do now that they are here? Up until this very present moment, we have asked ourselves that very thing, but never has a satisfactory explanation been found. Right now, all of that changes.
Your world will never be the same, because time. Also, you are about to observe one of the most unidentified of all flying objects. Is it conjecture to assume that this is indeed a craft manned by an intelligent extraterrestrial being, whose home planet is located some immeasurably vast distance from us? Yes, it is true.
And so many times your hopes have been dashed to the ground by the all-knowing interwebs. There is no way that is going to happen this time? This time, you get to find out exactly what it is that the visitors want. Is it our resources? Our children’s brain power? No, as it turns out, all the movies and novels got it wrong.
As it turns out, they just wanted to prove that they can go faster than we can.
Regardless of whether this video is a real or a fake it quite interesting none the less and a topic of great debate. Is there life out there in the galaxies and universe or are we the only ones gifted with life? You watch the video below and decide for yourself!
