Hummingbird mating rituals are unique natural events unlike any other. Every year, male hummingbirds put on an elaborate aerial show in their quest to attract females. The hummingbird mating process is a short but dramatic affair. The mating dive is an astonishing showy flight with many loops and zigzags. Usually the male flies up to an unbelievable 150 feet in the air and then plummets straight down pulling up just before impact.
