Teeny Tiny Bird

Teeny Tiny Bird

After our all nighter looking for frogs, we stayed up a bit longer to find a little bird before napping away the day. This little fast birdie was not easy to spot as it is one of the smallest hummingbirds around.

Scintillant Hummingbird Fun Facts: 

• These little birds grow up to around 3 inches long. It is just a little larger than the smallest bird in the world- the bee hummingbird.
• They have little straight black beaks.
• Scintillant hummingbirds eat nectar.
• Males are very territorial.
• Females build the nests, incubate the eggs and raise the babies.

These teeny birds are so adorable. They are Ellie and Edmond sized :)!
