Hummingbirds or hummingbirds are a rather peculiar genus of birds. They are native to Central America, although they can be found in Alaska and even South America. In addition, these birds are divided into two large groups: Trochilinae (where the troquilinos are included) and Phaethornithinae , whose members are known as 'hermits'.
This bird stands out for its extremely long beak as well as for its beauty. Its size ranges between 11 and 25 centimeters long, being the smallest bird in the world. Its weight can vary between 6 and 11 grams. Also, hummingbirds can flap their wings 80 to 200 times per second. They are impressive birds!
On the other hand, these birds are quite delicate. They live for approximately three to four years , although many do not go beyond the first year. However, there is an exceptional case that has lived for more than ten years.
The plumage of these birds is bright and colorful, which is why many people cannot avoid photographing it when they find it in the garden or in the forest. In fact, the hashtag #colibri has more than 488,000 posts on Instagram. If you want to discover the most spectacular photographs of hummingbirds, take a look at the following gallery.
