From interviews with Tod D. Swanson

English Translation

If we are going to have a good journey, the hummingbird gives us joy. ""Tsiu, tsiu, tsiu, tsiu."" He gives joy. If we are not going to have a good journey, maybe we are going to fall and break our hand, or maybe we are going to be bitten by a snake... Then he will warn us by getting angry first. He says ""pees! pees! pees!"" meaning that we should not go on the trip. That is how we know.
