Did you know?
Hummingbirds are the smallest bird species in the world, with some varieties weighing less than a penny. They're found exclusively in the Americas and are famous for their ability to hover in place by beating their wings up to 80 times per second—a feat that requires an enormous amount of energy. Their hearts can beat over 1,200 times per minute, and they must consume roughly half their body weight in nectar daily just to survive. The iridescent coloring visible in their plumage comes not from pigment but from the structure of their feathers, which refract light like tiny prisms.
