KNOWING THE hummingbird and its interesting facts.

As I said yesterday, now my friends understand that the birds we often call are honey birds, not hummingbirds.

Even though hummingbirds and honeybirds are both nectivores (nectar eaters), the two birds are different.

Hummingbirds in English are called " Hummingbird ", while the English Honeybird is " Sunbird ".

Hummingbirds come from the Trochiliidae family, while Honeybirds come from the Nectariniidae family.

The distribution of hummingbird species can only be found on the American continent, from North America to South America.


Among approximately 325 species of hummingbirds, there is one that has been named the world's smallest hummingbird, namely the bee hummingbird.

The maximum size of adult bee hummingbirds is only about 6 cm. and found only in Cuba.

There is an interesting fact about the hummingbird that is able to flap its wings up to 80 times per second, while during mating rituals it can flap its wings up to 200 times.

And the hummingbird has a brain capacity of 4.2% of its body, so this bird has a strong memory ability.

The next advantage of the hummingbird is that it has a strong memory, thus making this bird memorized in remembering its migration route, even, it can remember and recognize humans who have been met and who have given it food.

Finally, hummingbirds are very adept at flying acrobatically in the air, which is capable of flying by swooping, turning, crossing trees and flying backwards.

Wiih, small chili Rawit, friends, and the Almighty over all creations from Allah SWT.

Hummingbirds have a role in maintaining the balance of the natural ecosystem, which is helping to pollinate flower nectar, so that sometimes it makes interbreeding between plants.

So, fix it, hummingbirds are only found in the Americas, and in Indonesia there are no hummingbirds, but honeybirds.
