Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds known for their unique ability to hover in place by rapidly flapping their wings, often at rates of up to 80 beats per second. They are primarily found in the Americas, particularly in tropical regions. Hummingbirds are vital pollinators, transferring pollen from flower to flower as they feed on nectar with their long, specialized beaks. Their vibrant plumage and remarkable agility make them a favorite among birdwatchers. Additionally, they have a high metabolism, requiring them to consume energy frequently, often visiting hundreds of flowers each day.
