The sheer beauty of the hummingbird was on full display in someone’s pollinator garden, and a video captured the creature zipping around their bushes.
“They are amazing,” the original poster said in a Reddit post. (Click here if you are unable to see the embedded video below.)
The comment section marveled at the bird, with one describing the video as “beautiful.”
Another said, “You’re so lucky!”
Scenes like this don’t just happen by chance. This was a direct result of OP creating an outdoor space that supports wildlife rather than works against it.
For many homeowners, rewilding a lawn with native plants based on their gardening zone is one of the simplest ways to invite these moments of magic into a yard.

An example of landscaping that works against pollinators and wildlife is installing artificial turf. While fake grass may seem like an easy alternative to traditional lawn care, it offers no food or shelter for local species.
Native plants can be easier to manage while not destroying local ecosystems. They are naturally adapted to local temperatures, rainfall, and soil conditions. This means they require far less watering than typical monoculture lawns.
Meanwhile, less mowing and less fertilizing can keep money in your pocket and reduce the number of weekends lost to yard work. For busy homeowners, that’s extra time and energy saved while still enjoying a landscape that’s flourishing with pollinators.
Homeowners don’t have to overhaul their space all at once to see results. Options like clover lawns, buffalo grass, native groundcovers, and drought-tolerant xeriscaping make it easy to start small.
