Hummingbirds have specialized feathers that play crucial roles in their survival and behavior. Their iridescent plumage is not just for display; it reflects light in a way that can attract mates and deter rivals. Additionally, their feathers are lightweight and structured to minimize drag during rapid flight, allowing them to hover and maneuver with incredible agility. These adaptations help them efficiently access nectar from flowers and evade predators.
