Add this custom hummingbird to your videos, and tell it where to fly in After Effects! It's part of the "Flocks" template – with 13 other bird species, available at creationeffects.com/flocks. This tutorial shows how to customize the hummingbird and make it fly. Or view the main Flocks tutorial at youtube.com/watch?v=nQ9arP6q3Gk.
Since the hummingbird works differently from the other birds in the Flocks template, people who want to use the hummingbird should watch this video to learn how to make the bird hover. There is no flock for the hummingbird, but multiple birds can be added, and animated individually. Customization is easy with intuitive controls. All the bird's little jittery movements are automatic, making the hummingbird very lifelike and easy to animate.
For years, "Flocks" has been the go-to for After Effects users who need birds for their videos, and with this 2025 updated, they can now add lifelike hummingbirds (and pterodactyls!) to their animations and motion designs!
