Hey, all you have to do is set up where the light reflecting off the subject enters the objective and reaches focus at the focal plane. It's not rocket science.
Of course new born chicks can't fly, but as soon as they do it's actally pretty hard to tell the difference between them and the adults unless they're still and you can get a good look at the markings. I'd conclude that if the hummingbirds built a nest in his backyard, that it was their choice and they were aware of the proximity of humans. I'm sure he'll be careful and unobtrusive. Not doing so would certainly reduce the possibility for good shots, as it would with any wildlife.
