Description
This is one of my wild life painting collection.
Hummingbird is one of my favorite birds, I always put feeder for several years. But since I moved to the middle of town, there's no hummingbird coming. So I missed them. Now, I try to bring back hummingbird memories into my paintings, then I can see them everyday...:)
Hummingbirds are birds that comprise the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5�13 cm (3�5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm Bee Hummingbird. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 12�80 times per second (depending on the species). They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which sometimes sound like bees or other insects. To conserve energy while they sleep or when food is scarce, they have the ability to go into a hibernation-like state (torpor) where their metabolic rate is slowed to 1/15th of its normal rate.They are also the only group of birds with the ability to fly backwards.They can fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph).
