Koohii stories:

1) [CharleyGarrett] 1-1-2007(267): Hooks with small wings attached look like hummingbirds with a long beak. Two hummingbirds are trying to fly away with our little measuring box. What do they want it for?

2) [joxn_costello] 5-2-2009(36): Two hummingbirds flying to feed at a measuring box filled with sugar water. This kanji is famous for having hard-to-remember stroke order. Try it this way: first a hummingbird flies over the measuring box walls backwards. But finally the other hummingbird manages to stick its beak right through them.

3) [radical_tyro] 17-7-2007(26): Captain hook flying in a measuring box with two propellers.

4) [tharvey] 6-8-2009(19): (To keep the stroke order) Flying by, you see a hummingbird land on a walking stick. The bird looks around and sees a person nearby bending over, and gives the signal to attack. In swoops a second hummingbird, poking it's beak right into his back. Ouch!

5) [ktcgx] 3-12-2012(8): I learnt this Kanji a long time ago, when I was a kid, and the image I had for it is so vivid it's served me well, and I thought I'd share it. This Kanji is two hummingbirds flying over a field of asparagus stalks. But one flew too low, and got its beak stuck through two stalks.
