Description

Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds,most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm range. Indeed, the smallestextant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird.They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12–80times per second. To conserve energy while they sleep or when foodis scarce, they have the ability to go into a hibernation-likestate where their metabolic rate is slowed to 1/15th of its normalrate. They are also the only group of birds with the ability to flybackwards. Their English name derives from the humming sound madeby the very fast beating of their wings. They can fly at speedsexceeding 15 m/s.

Aztecs wore hummingbird talismans, the talismans beingrepresentations formed from parts of real hummingbirds: emblematicfor their vigor, energy, and propensity to do work along with theirsharp beaks that mimic instruments of weaponry. Hummingbirdtalismans were prized as drawing energy, vigor, and skill at armsand warfare to the wearer.

Trinidad and Tobago is known as "The land of the hummingbird,"and a hummingbird can be seen on that nation's coat of arms and1-cent coin as well as its national airline, Caribbean Airlines.Ifyou’re not sure what live wallpapers are, they’re a type ofapplication that works on a mobile device using the Androidoperating system (like your device!).
