Hummingbirds rock!


You see guys, hummingbirds aren't as boring as you may think. They are really interesting birds!

Well, hummingbirds are very small and colourful birds of the Trochiliede family. They have long thin beaks to suck nectar from flowers. They are the smallest birds on earth! Also, they have no sense of smell...

The most interesting thing is that hummingbirds cannot walk! But they can fly anyway they want to - forwards, left, right, backwards and hover in the air! No other birds can do such tricks!

They beat their wings about 80 times a second during normal flight and 200 during a courtship dive.

Their heartbeat can reach up to 1,260 beats per minute.

There is so much information about hummingbirds! I think I'll have to write another post about hummingbirds. See u for now!

Thought they were hummingbirds because they forget the words to songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just joking. The humming is made from the flapping of the wings.Great post Karolina.
