"The hummingbirds eye came from me thinking of people bird watching, and wondering if the hummingbirds are watching us too. [Inspiration] came from the vibration of their wings when they fly, and how it looks like there's multiple wings on each side. That idea kind of morphed into two heads, like what you see when they quickly move back and forth and its tough to see with the naked eye." -Gus Cook
