ave you ever watched a
hummingbird flying by
and noticed that their
feathers seem to change as
they move into different
light? Hummingbird
feathers are iridescent,
meaning that reflections
of light make them
appear differently.
Some hummingbirds
are more colorful
than others. Male
hummingbirds are usually
more colorful than females,
because they need to attract
a mate, while the females
tend to camouflage better
with their nesting spots.
Spring is here. It is time to watch for the tiny
hummingbirds flitting around your neighborhood.
Hummingbirds are part of the second largest bird
family in the world, with more than 300 species
worldwide and 13 species in North America.

Hummingbirds have an incredibly fast metabolism so they need to eat all
day long. One hummingbird can eat up to twice its body weight and feed on
hundreds of flowers in a single day. If humans had a metabolism as fast as a
hummingbird’s, we would need to eat more than 1,500 of these in one day:
