So.... now there is a spybot that fits in the palm of your hand.... and is made to look look like a hummingbird.

I know what's on my Christmas list this year.
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

Hummingbirds are very aggressive. I hope one doesn't try to take on one of the spybots!

That is cool and a little creepy.
It brings home the saying "A little bird told me."
Sounds interesting...Go on.
