A hummingbird among blossoms

The bird is shown in flight at the heart of a rich floral composition. Large flowers surround its body, while curling plant ornaments weave around the petals. Patterned feathers cover the breast, and the spread wings and tail emphasize the hummingbird’s airborne pose.

How hummingbirds visit flowers

Hummingbirds can hover beside blossoms by moving their wings rapidly in a distinctive figure-eight pattern. They drink nectar with long, slender bills and also eat tiny insects for protein. As they move between flowers, pollen may cling to their feathers and bills, allowing them to help pollinate plants.

Natural colors of hummingbirds and blossoms

  • Hummingbird breast: green, white, brown, or iridescent shades, depending on the species
  • Hummingbird wings: usually dusky brown, gray-brown, or dark green
  • Hummingbird bill: black or very dark gray

  • Leaves and curling stems: commonly light to deep green
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

How can a hummingbird remain still in the air?
Its shoulder joints let the wings rotate through a wide range of motion. The rapid forward-and-back wingbeats create lift during both parts of each stroke, allowing the bird to hover.
Why do many hummingbirds visit brightly colored flowers?
They rely strongly on vision when searching for food. Red, orange, and pink tubular blossoms often contain nectar that hummingbirds can reach with their narrow bills.
Do hummingbird feathers actually contain glowing colors?
Some feathers have microscopic structures that reflect light and produce an iridescent effect. Their apparent color can shift as the bird or the viewer changes position.
