This bird is one of the smallest in nature and the real miracle of evolution.
These are bee hummingbirds that live along the west coast of the United States, including Alaska in the summer. The bee hummingbird is slightly smaller, has no red color and lives in a cube.
This fragile bird is one of the smallest in nature and the real miracle of evolution. It is even the size of a bee, only 5-6 cm in length and weighing less than 2 g.
Their beautiful iridescent plumage, like all hummingbirds, distinguishes them from bees. When they fly, it resembles a flying diamond. They really take breath, and if you have the opportunity to see them, do not miss it.
During the period of estrus starting in March, males have a green body with bright red necks. Blue females with a black bottom of the abdomen and a black neck. Males shine with a bright pink-red color from the head to the throat, and comprehensive singing and air performances are designed to attract their colleagues.
They lay eggs the size of coffee grain, about an inch long! However, due to brilliant plumage, the mother will not let the father to the eggs, because the plumage will be noticed by predators.
The bee hummingbirds, like other hummingbirds, mainly feed on nectar, but sometimes they also eat insects and spiders. They say that hummingbirds visit about 1,500 colors per day, benefiting an ecosystem, contributing to the reproduction of plants. However, they do not migrate from their native Cuba and are content with subtropical temperature.
Absolutely amazingly beautiful.
The bee hummingbird is currently indicated that its population is reduced. Let’s work together to protect the environment for these wonderful creatures!
