Do you like hummingbird? I do. I like them a lot. In 2008, I had the pleasure to send a week in beautiful Costa Rica. In the ocea view hotel lobby, they had few coffee table books and one of them was about hummingbird. You probablly know that hummingbirds are drawn to different blossoming plants particularly those with crimson flowers. They eat on the nectar of these blossoming plants and are significant pollinators, particularly of long petal flowers. But do you know Most types of hummingbird also consume insects, particularly when feeding their young.

These birds are so called because their wings often make a humming sound when they fly. Among their species, the Giant hummingbird is the largest and is 8¼” or 7oz, while the Bee hummingbird, which is considered the smallest is 2 ¼” or .07 oz. The nest of the bee hummingbird is the size of half a walnut shell.

One thing really amazed me is: Hummingbirds spread color, this color is created by a pigment which absorbs some color while rejecting others.
