The multicolored hummingbird has many different colors. The world's tiniest bird is a hummingbird. The planet is home to more than 300 species. Only North and South America include them; they are absent from other continents.

English humming is simply humming. a little bird with sapphire-like markings on its feathers. It astounds with its aerial gymnastics, flying swiftly, stopping in an instant, flying and going up, down, back, and even upside down, controlling all flight phases with intensity.They flap their wings very quickly (about 80 times per second), resulting in a humming sound. Children enchanted the first Europeans to reach North America. Many naturalists of the time wondered if hummingbirds were among the birds and insects.
Hummingbirds are most famous for their brightly colored feathers. Especially in the feathers near their throats, different color patterns can be seen. However, the peculiar color of their necks is not due to the decoration of the feathers, it depends on the amount of light, humidity, or the angle from which they are viewed. Hummingbirds have all seven colors of the rainbow in their feathers. As they fly, manipulation of the light can change the color of their neck feathers. However, most hummingbirds range in color from green to blue.

The hummingbird's distinguishing features are a long shaggy, bright plumage and a humming sound. Most individuals are colorless, but there are solid brown or even white albinos. The colors change with each reflection of the light and give the feathers a metallic sheen. Only a few of the colors are visible to the human eye. Understanding physical characteristics helps determine what makes these children unique.

They usually nest in tree branches. Dry grass, leaves, tree bark, fungi, spider webs, algae are used for making nests. However, only female birds work for nesting, male birds do not have any headache in this matter. Their nest is shaped like a cup. A female hummingbird lays 2 eggs at a time. After two to three weeks the eggs hatch into small hummingbirds which take six to seven days to become adults.
