Discovering the Magical World of Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are tiny birds with iridescent feathers and incredibly fast wings, flapping 80 times per second. This speed allows them to hover like helicopters and produce a humming sound. They require a high-energy diet of nectar, pollen, and insects to sustain their rapid metabolism. Hummingbirds are attracted to red feeders and have long beaks to access nectar. Unlike other birds, they cannot walk or hop, relying on their strong wings for all movement.
