Because their wings make a humming sound when they fly, thus they were named Humming Birds. And now here's a question for you. Do you play animal jam? Because if you do then buddy me, my user is lassiethecollie1.

do Hummingbirds have a sense of smell

[Answer To Above] OH MY GOD it must be 2 flipping years since I commented on this last!! (I commented on the Animal Jam stuff above) Haha, I don't even play that game anymore. Now, to answer the question, Humming Birds do NOT have a sense of smell, nore do many other birds either. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Answer: This was taken from an August 1980 Awake magazine - "Hummingbirds- Fascinatijng Feathered Acrobats" - the hummingbird is a feathered aerial acrobat, fascinating creatures provided by God for our enjoyment. The bird's name is derived from the sound made by it's wings. Because hummingbirds flit from flower to flower, in Brazil they are called "flower kissers."
