*** About Hummingbirds: Hummingbirds, known scientifically as Trochilidae, are among the smallest bird species worldwide, renowned for their incredible ability to hover in mid-air thanks to rapid flapping of their wings, which can beat up to 70 times per second. These birds possess a unique ball-and-socket joint at the shoulder that allows the wings to rotate 180 degrees in all directions, enabling their famous hovering and ability to fly backwards. Hummingbirds typically feed on nectar from flowers, employing their long, specialized bills to reach into deep blossoms. Their vibrant plumage is due to microscopic platelets that refract light and create iridescent colors that shift in different viewing angles. This adaptation serves both as a means of attracting mates and as a defensive mechanism to avoid predators by blending into the colorful flora.:
