Woo hoo, I saw my first hummingbird yesterday! How about you, have you had a hummingbird stop by yet this spring? Were you excited to see him? (The males return before the females so it’s a safe bet to say him.)
Well since hummingbirds are on my mind, let’s see if you can spot the lie about hummingbirds. Two of these statements are true and one is a lie:
- I have the fastest metabolism of any animal on Earth
- My tiny nest is usually built by both males and females, on average10-20 feet from the ground
- I am the only bird that can fly backwards and I have more feathers per inch than almost every other bird
