Coloring Tips
Hummingbirds are known for their iridescent, shimmering feathers, which can appear to change color in the light! Don't be afraid to use bright, bold colors. You could give your hummingbird a shimmering emerald green body, a ruby-red throat, or even experiment with blues and purples. For the flower, think about what colors nectar-rich flowers usually are – reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks are popular choices. Remember, there's no right or wrong way to color! Use your imagination to make your hummingbird and its flower truly unique. You can use different shades of green for the leaves and stem to add depth.
Fun Facts
Did you know that hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world? They're also super speedy! Their wings beat so fast, sometimes over 50 times per second, that they make a humming sound – that's how they got their name! Hummingbirds use their long, skinny tongues to reach deep inside flowers and drink nectar, which is a sweet, sugary liquid that gives them lots of energy. They need this energy to fly so quickly and even hover in place, which is something very few other birds can do. Plus, when they sip nectar, they also help carry pollen from flower to flower, which helps new plants grow. They can even fly backward! How cool is that?
