SAFARI LTD Hummingbirds Good Luck Minis Figure From 3 Years

Hummingbirds are highly specialized birds that feed exclusively on nectar that they extract from flowers by using their long bills. Their vision is extremely sensitive to allow them to respond quickly during their rapid flight, and their metabolisms are the highest among all animals except for insects. Their hearts can beat over 1000 times per minute, and during that same time they can take up to 250 breaths. They can also go into a hibernation state known as torpor to conserve energy when food is scarce, slowing down their bodily functions and becoming nearly catatonic. - Hummingbirds are tiny birds, among the smallest bird species of all. They hover around drinking nectar through their long, thin beaks. In order to be able to flap their wings so fast (over 50 times per second), hummingbirds have one of the fastest metabolisms in the animal kingdom. Their common name comes from the humming noise produced by their rapid wingbeats.
