"HUMMINGBIRDS:
These tiny, jewellike birds can hover for long periods in still air. Their wings beat up to 90 times a second, making a soft, buzzing sound. All hummingbirds feed on flowers and use their beak and tongue to drink nectar"
"Hummingbird's nest is made from lichen, moss and silk from spiderwebs"
"FORK-TAILED WOONYMPH:
Like other hummingbirds, this bird can fly in any direction including backward."
