MORE FUN HUMMINGBIRD FACTS
There is even more crazy trivia to learn about hummingbirds!
• A hummingbird’s colored throat isn’t colored at all – the color comes
from feather structure and light reflections. The viewing angle, light level,
and feather wear and tear all impact what color the throat appears.
• Hummingbirds’ feet are so tiny these birds cannot walk, though they hop
and perch easily. Smaller feet help hummingbirds be lighter and more
aerodynamic for faster, more efficient flight.
• A single hummingbird has 1,000-1,500 feathers. This is the fewest
feathers of any bird in the world, which is to be expected for the world’s
smallest birds.
• Hummingbird eggs are less than one-half inch long, smaller than a
jellybean. Most hummingbirds lay two eggs per nest, but clutches of 1-3
are possible.
• A hummingbird’s heartbeat averages 1,200 beats per minute. By
comparison, a normal human resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per
minute.
• The more you use your Hummingbird Ring and observe your own visiting
hummers, the more you will discover about these amazing birds!
