Hummingbirds - Nature's sonic jet!


Hummingbird trivia:

A Hummingbird will feed on more than 1,500 flowers during one day

Hummingbirds are attracted to red flowers, but will obviously go to other coloured flowers in search of food.

A Humming bird is the only bird that can fly backwards.

The average hummingbird weighs less than a penny.

More interesting info on these incredible creatures!






Food colouring is not needed in this creatures feeders. Just sugar and water. Easy.
I can't wait until they return this Spring!

I had hummingbirds visit my honeysuckle vine when I had one in my backyard. Now, they love the orange
Calibrachoa and Fuchsia.
