Hummingbird Nests Are As Small As A Thimble, Be Careful Not To Prune Them

Some hummingbird species are critically endangered, they are absolutely tiny, fragile birds are only a few inches long and their eggs are smaller than a jelly bean. Here’s some tips on how to spot and protect them.

Hummingbirds, on average, flap their wings between 50-80 beats per second, making them a literal blur to the human eye, if you have ever seen a hummingbird's wings flapping, its usually because the video has been slowed down or the hummingbird is landing. Their metabolism is just as speedy as their wings, and their weight can change drastically over the day as they eat and burn up energy; because of this, they consume anywhere between half to 8 times of their weight in sugar daily, and the average hummingbird feeds 5-8 times per hour, thats a lot of their waking day spent feeding!
