Hummingbirds

Basic Information

Anatomy

Bill and Tongue

The Hummingbird's bill is elongated and slender, perfectly designed for reaching deep into flowers to extract nectar. The bill houses a specialized, tube-like tongue that can extend beyond the length of the bill, facilitating efficient nectar collection. The tongue's tip is fringed with microscopic bristles to capture and draw in the sugary liquid.

Musculature

Muscles in their wings and torso provide the power and flexibility needed for their remarkable flight capabilities. Their rapid wing beats, averaging around 50 to 80 beats per second, enable them to hover in mid-air and perform intricate aerial maneuvers.

Growth Rate & Stages

Upon hatching, the chicks are altricial, meaning they are born in a relatively undeveloped state. The parents collaborate in feeding the chicks a diet of regurgitated nectar and insects. As the chicks mature, they gradually fledge from the nest, developing the flight skills essential for their survival.
