Hummingbi

Hummingbirds are small, colorful
birds with iridescent feathers. Their
name comes from the fact that they
flap their wings so fast (about 80
times per second) that they make a
humming noise. Hummingbirds can
fly right, left, up, down, backwards,
and even upside down. They are also
able to hover by flapping their wings
in a figure-8 pattern. They have a
specialized long and tapered bill that
is used to obtain nectar from the
center of long, tubular flowers. The
hummingbirds feet are used for
perching only, and are not used for
hopping or walking.

Hummingbirds are very small

birds with a high metabolism. The
hummingbirds fast breathing
rate, fast heartbeat and high body
temperature require that they eat
often.Hummingbirds can consume
up to twice their body weight in
nectar every day. Hummingbirds
primarily eat flower nectar, tree
sap, insects and pollen.
Hummingbirds have a long tongue
which they use to lick their food at
a rate of up to 13 licks per second.

As far as is known, male

hummingbirds do not take part
in nesting.Most species build a
cup-shaped nest on the branch
of a tree or shrub; although, a
few tropical species normally
attach their nests to leaves. The
nest varies in size relative to the
particular speciesfrom smaller
than half awalnutshell to
several
centimeters
(1
centimeter = 0.39 inches) in
diameter.

It is difficult to estimate population

numbers since there are many
different species spanning a large
geographic area. There are about
16 species of hummingbirds in the
U.S. and Canada.
Like other birds, hummingbirds
communicate via visual displays.
Hummingbirds are very territorial
and have been observed chasing
each other and even larger birds
such as hawks away from their
territories. Reproduction
Gestation: 13-22 days.
Clutch size: Between 1-3 eggs.
The young start to fly in 18 to 30
days.

Historically hummingbirds were

killed for their feathers, today
they face different but equally
devastating threats. Habitat loss
and destruction are the
hummingbirds main threats. As
hummingbirds are often specially
adapted to each unique habitat,
each species of hummingbird
currently listed as vulnerable or
endangered on the IUCN red list
are all threatened due to habitat
destruction and loss. The earth's
changing temperatures due to
climate change are affecting
hummingbird migratory patterns,
causing different species to be
spotted in locations well outside
their normal range, where it may
be harder for them to find food.

Hummingbirds in the U.S. and

around the world have the benefit of
being garden and backyard
favorites. Many people put out
hummingbird feeders or grow
flowers that attract hummingbirds in
the warmer months that allow these
birds to refuel during their long
migratory journeys. What's in sight
is often in mind, and many fans of
hummingbirds are doing what they
can to keep every backyard, park
and garden a friendly place for
these beautiful birds.

 They do perch.
They have very weak feet and
do not use them for transportation
. They fly forward, backward,
shift sideways, stop in midair.
They can beat their wings 60 to
200 times per second.
They lap nectar with their
tongues.
They can fly up to 60 miles per
hour.
They can live 5-6 years in the
wild.
They are the smallest bird in the
world.
They consume, on average, half
their weight in sugar each day.
