Description

Perched atop an ocotillo branch, this self-appointed warden of the hummingbird feeder awaits intruders.

* Hummingbirds have tongues that are grooved like the shape of a "W".
* Hummingbirds have tiny hairs on the tips of their tongues to help them lap up nectar… similar to a cat.
* A hummingbird's bill is longer in proportion to its body, as compared to other birds.
* Hummingbirds have no sense of smell, but can hear better than humans.
* Hummingbirds are attracted to all bright colors, although red is most prominently associated with these tiny birds.
* Hummingbirds see in ultraviolet light and they can see further than a human.
* Hummingbirds have a great memory – they remember every flower & feeder they've been to, and how long it will take a flower to refill.
* The hummingbird brain is 4.2% of its body weight – this is the largest, in proportion, of the wild bird group, and a significantly greater amount in proportion than say, Trump.
* Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly like a helicopter… up, down, sideways, front, and back!
* Hummingbirds are the second largest family of birds with over 300 species.
* Hummingbirds have weak feet – they mainly use them just for perching.
* When food is scarce and they are fatigued, hummingbirds go into a hibernation-like state (also known as torpor) to conserve energy.
* A hummingbird's heart beats up to 1,260 times per minute.
* Hummingbirds do not mate for life.
* A baby hummingbird is roughly the size of a penny and is unable to fly.
* The average life span of a hummingbird is 5 years, but they have been known to live for more than 10 years.
* Hummingbirds fly at an average of 25-30 miles per hour, and are able to dive up to 50 miles per hour.
* Some hummingbirds will travel over 2,000 miles twice a year during their migration.
