Creation Moment 1/17/2023 - Hummingbirds are "mistakes"?

....and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:21

"Have evolutionists no shame? 
They can take any creature, no matter
how beautiful, skillful or talented, and turn it into an accident of nature. What does this do to one’s enjoyment of natural wonders? Let’s all sing like the hummingbirdies sing: Hmmmmm.
 
Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly forward, backward and sideways, and hover motionless in mid-air. As ....their tongues are designed to quickly harvest nectar from flowers in 1/20th of a second, thousands of times a day. 
 
Can anyone believe that a random mutation, without foresight or plan, resulted in the beautiful, acrobatic hummingbirds so admired by almost everyone? Some evolutionary biologists say so, and reporter by Stephanie Mayer-Bömoser had no problem relaying their speculations without asking any hard questions.  
 
Hummingbirds, they say, are mistakes
According to their Darwinian speculation, this first mutation started them on a path of progress. 
 
In addition to the loss of the FBP2 gene, other important
genomic changes probably occurred
in hummingbirds. Several other genes that play important roles in sugar metabolism exhibit amino acid changes in hummingbirds, likely because of directed selection. “The relevance of changes in these genes for evolutionary adaptations in hummingbird metabolism needs to be clarified by further studies and experiments,” Hiller said
.
There it is again: futureware brings job security for storytellers."
