Hummingbirds Fun Facts sign

Red Dragonette

This was over at the Gumbalimba Park in Roatán, Honduras. No, we didn't see any hummingbirds there, but I'll share you this sign regardless. In case anybody can't read it, here's what it says:

  • They are the smallest birds in the world.
  • For their size, they have the largest heart & brain of all animals.
  • They have no sense of smell.
  • Their wings flap up to 60 times per second.
  • Their heart beat around 500 to 1,200 times per minute.
  • They can only be found in north, central & south America.
  • They can visit 2,000 to 5,000 flowers a day.
  • They can consume twice their weight daily.
  • Their color is produced by reflection of light.
  • Their average speed is 45 miles per hour.
  • They also eat insects for protein.
  • They cannot walk, only perch.
  • They are the only birds capable of flying backwards.
  • They only fly 20% of their time.
  • Hummingbirds migrate in Late September and they're back in February. Where to; ???
