🐦 Hummingbird Flower Patch Lab: Hover Power, Nectar Economics and Territory

A Blender-modelled hummingbird defends a flower patch against rivals and bees. Hover power from momentum theory, sucrose viscosity and the optimal nectar concentration, a daily energy budget with night torpor, marginal-value foraging, the smallest affordable territory and a plant-pollinator mutualism network that re-equilibrates when you remove a species.
