Appreciated greetings Steemians and our entire community of@steemchurch, today at #celestialchallengeinitiated by @sirknight, today again with you sharing about "Tuesday-animalkingdom".
Genesis 2:19
And the LORD God formed from the earth every animal of the field and every bird of the sky, and he brought them to man to see what he would call them; and as man called every living being, that was his name.
The tucusitos, hummingbirds or hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world, native and exclusive to the American tropics- they constitute the family Trochiliidae, a group of very small birds, with a sharp and long beak, that fly with an amazing beat of wings and that They feed on nectar from flowers and small insects.
These small birds are of great ecological importance for being agents of reproduction of flowering plants in tropical forests. They go from flower to flower, to drink their nectar, the pollen adheres to them, which they transport to other flowers, producing the pollination of more than a thousand plant species.
In times of yesteryear at the end of the 18th century, they were sacrificed by the thousands since for the beauty of their plumage this was used, to decorate the hats of the European ladies, besides, they not only killed the birds for their feathers, but also the they killed when their feathers were brighter than ever, that is, during the mating period. Interrupting their reproductive cycle and often leaving orphaned birds. which possibly led to the extermination of several species. Giving place to the first movement of preservation of birds in the world.
Among its features it stands out
• Hummingbirds are the smallest birds in the world.
• It is the only bird that can fly backwards.
• Your heart can beat in one minute up to 1,200 times, and you can perform up to 500 breaths.
• Has a unique ability to remain suspended in the air.
• Most hummingbirds exhibit bright colors and an iridescent green, usually metallic.
• Its flight is in uninterrupted succession of extraordinarily high frequency beats, reaching 80 beats per second in the smallest species.
• The female goes more than 140 times a day to the nest to feed the young.
• They have a very precise sense of time, allowing enough time for the flowers to fill with nectar before returning to visit them.
• Their nests are very small, they build them with mosses and with spider webs, to make them softer and more comfortable. There are exceptions.
• They are always leaking urine. Due to its activity
• Chicks are born with a broad, blunt bill, which then grows and sharpens. • The sword-billed hummingbird has a bill as long as its own body.
It is one of the specimens most appreciated for its beauty, motivating qualities for artistic creation. Writers, poets have mentioned him in his works and plastic artists have taken him to his canvases.
