Not really a suggestion, as they're too pretty to kill but the thought struck me while watching that vid that it'd certainly test your skill with an arrow to attempt to skewer one in mid-flight...

Probably impossible

Nice video though, never seen them like that before.  Thanks.

That reminds me of this video...

That one got away ok it seems, but sometimes they don't.

     Thanks cool video.  I put up three feeders at my house in Montana, and they were swarming like that also.  They sure can suck up some sugar water.  I had to go back to the store, and get a five pound bag of sugar.  I am glad you got their little chirps in also.  There was one I named Harley.  You could hear him coming from the trees, about hundred and twenty feet away, or so.  He was a little bigger than the others, and the boss of the feeder.  He had real deep and loud hum to him.  I liked to sit on my porch, and watch the deer, and turkeys, and watch the humming birds, fuss around the feeders.  Oh, and there was a nice glass of coconut rum, and pineapple juice, with a splash of grenadine over crushed ice.  A very enjoyable time.  Didn't get much accomplished, but had a very enjoyable time. ;D
