Hummingbirds

That will depend upon the particular species of hummingbird. North American hummingbirds are said to beat their wings around 53 times per second during normal flight. A straight conversion to per minute or per hour would be about 3180 beats per minute or 190800 beats per hour. It is unknown if they can maintain it for that long. Larger hummingbirds generally have fewer beats per second and smaller ones have more.

A hummingbird's maximum forward flight speed is 30 miles per hour. These birds can reach up to 60 miles per hour in a dive, and hummingbirds have many adaptations for unique flight.

both lay eggs

skin is covered by feathers

both are vertebrates

both are lightweight and usually hollow or spongy.

I would suggest that the answer your leaning to is the Hummingbird Moth.

Moth's aren't my thing, here's a related link where you can find all the information you could possible want on them.

Your bird feeder should be placed close to shrubs or trees. It should also have a bird bath close by.

It does not need to be very close to shrubs and trees. In fact it's better away from them, to make it harder for squirrels to rob the food.

Humming birds live in a temperate forest :D

Yes, hummingbirds can be very colorful with different veriety's of colors; such as purple and red. Check it yourself go to google.ca (images) and type hummingbird.

Sugar water for hummingbirds feeders is made by dissolving white granulated sugar in tap, well or bottled water. Powdered sugar, honey, "raw" or brown sugar, and low-calorie sweeteners may harm the birds should not be used. Bottled or filtered water can be used in places where the tap water has a high iron content or contains potentially dangerous pollutants such as arsenic, nitrates, trihalomethanes or coliform bacteria.

The recommended recipe calls for 3 to 5 parts water to 1 part sugar. A part can be anything from a tablespoon to a gallon, depending on how much solution you need to make. Stronger solutions (3:1) will be visited less often and defended more vigorously; weaker solutions will be visited more often, especially in hot, dry weather when the water is almost as important to the birds as the sugar.

Boiling is not necessary but helps to dissolve the sugar and may slow spoilage of the solution. Sugar water in feeders should be discarded and replaced every 2 to 5 days, more often in warm, windy, or rainy weather. Extra sugar water can be kept in the refrigerator for a week or more but should be discarded if it begins to turn cloudy or mold begins to grow inside the container.

There is no need to add food coloring to sugar water, and it may be dangerous to the birds' health. Bright color on the outside of the feeder is enough to attract hummingbirds.

If the sugar water in a feeder ferments, is diluted by rain, or gets contaminated by ants or bees, the birds may stop visiting for a while. They will return once the feeder is clean and full of fresh sugar water. To keep the solution fresh longer, hang the feeder where it will not be exposed to too much sun, rain, or wind and clean it thoroughly at least once a week. If your feeder is not easily cleaned with hot water and a sponge or bottle brush, invest in a better-designed feeder. Neglected feeders can be cleaned by soaking in a solution of 1 part chlorine bleach in 10 parts water or in a 1:1 solution of white vinegar and hot water.

If you wait long enough, and wish hard enough, anything is possible. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) are normally orange or yellow, but there have been dark burgundy/maroon flowers, so that means the 'red' can be isolated and possibly muted to a pink.

Burpee has produced a Strawberry Blond hybrid. It certainly isn't all pink. . . yet. . . but from the inside out you have petals of muted yellow, pale maroon and a tip of beige, making "Strawberry Blond" a perfect name. Burpee says the blooms are "subtle lemon and rose-pink" and 5-6 inches across.

There is also another sunflower cultivar called Cherry Rose. Under low light it has a deep plum color and under sunny conditions an almost pink color, especially the outer half of the petals. I tend to think of it as just maroon, but eventually someone will mute it to fully pink petals surrounding a deep, dark center.

Yes, one of them is: the Bee Hummingbird, Mellisuga helenae.

The simple answer is food. Putting out a bird feeder and putting in sunflower seeds or mixed seed from the store should attract wild birds. Woodpeckers and nuthatches really like suet cakes that you can purchase at the store. Finches are attracted to thistle seed.

It helps to make your own homemade food as compared to store bought food. Mix it yourself with just sugar and water. Use four cups water with one cup sugar, boiled together and allowed to cool. Then fill your feeder(s) and refrigerate the rest. Do not use red food dye as this is bad for the birds. The feeders have enough red on them.

Yes, very much so. Have you ever seen hummingbirds chasing each other away from feeders? This shows that they are protecting or fighting for a territory.

Hummingbirds are found only in the Western Hemisphere, from southeastern Alaska to southern Chile, although most live in the tropics. There are more than 300 species of hummingbirds, 12 of which summer in North America and winter in tropical areas.

A Hummingbird drinks nectar, not pollen. As for how much nectar one drinks per day, I believe it is equal to (or more than) the Hummingbird's body weight.

The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird to breed East of the Mississippi River. However, the Rufous hummingbird is a migrant (meaning that it occasionally) ventures out of its territory. So the Rufous has been spotted in Pennsylvania rarely.

The Ruby-throated hummingbird is easy to identify. The iridescent feathers on the neck(gorget) of the male Ruby-throated are ruby colored in sunlight.

Ability to hover. Long narrow tubular beak and tongue to lap nectar or syrup. Ability to fly backward. Ability to return to the same yard year after year. Ability to recognize people. Strongly defend their feeder. Ability to raise young in really tiny nests.

In some peoples culture mean its the spirit or soul of the person that died is in that particular bird so therefore hes going be watching over you.

Swallows? Swallows?

Some birds are: Magpie, crow, cockatoo, parrot, peacock, robin, hummingbird, swan, raven, swallow, duck, eagle, falcon, hawk, rosella, kookaburra, kingfisher, currawong, lorikeet, woodpecker, wagtail, turkey, chicken, hen, rooster, ostrich, owl, emu, vulture, osprey, albatross, seagull, catbird, cassowary, egret,

If a hummingbird comes up to a person and tries to get their attention, it may be due to the person wearing bright clothing or wearing a flowery perfume. The person should feel free to consider it a sign of good luck.
