I want one on my shoulder with a handbar joy stick, so it can crap on cellphone/texters in cages.

Not sure what you're saying.

I keep 4-6 hummy feeders full-time at my house in the Spring-Fall, and have hundreds of those guys zipping around.  I'm certain after years of feeding, that I get returning birds.  Little bitty Harrier Jump Jets, with an attitude.

i keep two feeders, one in the back yard, one in the front yard, i've got two different "families" of humming birds that feed on them.  it's really cool when they try to attack each other and steal from the other feeder!!  amazing little birds!

talking about feeding birds, i just refilled my bird feeder in the back yard for the cardinals and i noticed that i haven't seen any cardinals for the last couple days.  well, today i saw a falcon flying over head!  that explains it!!

Less subtle, but a lot more scary. Especially for those people afraid of wasps.

That's why I have the Stebel mounted up-front - I pull up in their "blind spot", and blast. Makes them crap themselves!! Just make sure you are not alongside when they jerk the wheel...

They Do have an attitude! Watched one chasing a Chickadee around and around the yard for about 20 minutes one day.  Made me chuckle. They don't take much guff from any other bird. They're pretty amazing critters. Check this out:
