Of course Seals and Crofts had a different "Hummingbird " in the early 70s, but you are probably thinking of Frankie Lane or Les Paul and Mary Ford, also covered by Jimmy Carroll; The Chordettes; Rose Maddox; and the writer of the song Don Robertson.

Singer songwriter Boo Hewerdine whose work has written for artists like kd lang and Natalie Imbruglia. His song Humming Bird was recorded by Foot Stompin's "Fine Friday" on their album Gone Dancing,
A great Boo Hewerdine song.
It's a song for anyone who's ever dreamed about flying.It's not all it's cracked up to be! Especially not if you're a poor old Hummingbird.
