A male ruby-throated hummingbird develops the distinctive red throat, or gorget, typically after reaching maturity, which is usually around one year of age. The bright iridescent feathers appear during the breeding season as part of their courtship display to attract females. Prior to this, juvenile males and females lack the vibrant coloration, making it an important indicator of maturity and breeding readiness.
