Here is a cool article! It shows how Anna's Hummingbirds deal with excess rainwater by shaking their heads.
Apparently the hummer shakes its head with such acceleration that it can reach 34g's it's pretty impressive when your realise an F1 car typically reach less than 6g).

Incredible!
What a great video too.
They also are the only bird to move their wings in a figure eight - necessary for hovering which I believe only insects do. Their heart rate is phenomenal as well.
