I don't remember about the witches, but I do know the rules were a little different for them (I think there was something else in particular they had to do along with the physical separation itself). I know Lyra, though, had to "die" to get Separated from Pan. If it were a matter of merely slowly going away from one's own daemon over a body of water (or just slowly pushing oneself away at all), then Separation would have been more common in the books, given the number of people who end up in situations like that (i.e. dockworkers) and the amount of people who would need the Separation if they could for safety reasons (i.e. soldiers).

Hummingbird = bird, which generally is something humans don't settle as because their daemons can't safely leave their side. While witch daemons are all birds, bird daemons are extremely rare among humans.

No toy teddy bear will ever suffice for Tony Stark after having grown up being practically raised by an actual bear, there is just no matching that kind of sheer cuddle power. And he is very lucky Jarvis loves him enough to overlook the fact Tony Stark calls him his very own real live teddy bear. :P That said, this plays more seriously into how and why Tony is the way he is: he was raised by every sentient species on the planet (a human, a witch, and a bear), which gives him a lot of connections and a lot of unusual insight in life.

You would think that but the fact of the matter is that: 1) There is absolutely no research into daemons in their universe. 2) It's never been explicitly stated in the books that death was the thing that tore them apart. It's left ambiguous as far as I remember. 3) The rules of the universe in the books are generally poorly thought out, used inconsistently, and sometimes contradicted.

Sadly, you can really do whatever you want because the dude was not that great at worldbuilding or being internally consistent.

Oh, I forgot about that. *shrug*

Hmm... that is interesting. He probably thinks sideways because of it.
