I can explain. Tomatoes v.s. Tomatos is an issue of localization, i.e. British/Canadian spelling as opposed to Amirikan.
RE: "It's" v.s. "Its" - I love apostrophes, and comma's too.
Note the proper (albeit gratuitous) use of "i.e." referring to "in other words", whereas this is often the place where "e.g." (for example) is commonly mis-used.
BTW - A hummingbird is alleged to flap it's wings in the range of 55-75 flaps per second. I'm assuming that's for each wing, although the reference is imprecise.
It's worth noting that size (of the hummingbird) matters.

And African Swallows may be able to carry coconuts.
