But they aren’t the only busy thing out there – and I think it’s time hummingbirds got equal mention!
OK, it’s a bit facetious – but I was visiting a site for hummingbirds and started reading about these little creatures, with their mad flapping. It turns out their wings are hinged differently from other birds, allowing almost 180 degrees of movement, and explains why they can hover. There’s even one called the ‘Lucifer Hummingbird’!
The fact that they have to eat constantly to keep their energy up is, I think, proof that they should be used more often as an example of activity. Watch a hummingbird in your backyard, and I’m sure you’ll agree.
Don’t have hummingbirds yet? Then grab yourself some hummingbird feeders, populate your back yard with them, and start rewarding them for their frantic activity.
