What are hummingbirds?
Hummingbirds are a family of birds that contain the smallest birds in the world.
There all 400 known kinds of hummingbirds, but 19 of them live in the United
States. Hummingbirds get their name from the humming sound their wings make
as they y, not because they hum or sing.
Where do the United States do hummingbirds live?Hummingbirds live only in the Western Hemisphere. The ruby-throated hum-
mingbird lives east of the Mississippi River. The Allens, Annas black-
chinned,calliope, rufous
hummingbirds live in Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, and New Mexi-
co. The Black-chinned and broad tailed hummingbirds live in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. The Rufous hummingbird lives in
North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri. Okla-
homa and Arkansas. Black-chinned, ruby-throated, magnicent hummingbirds
live in Texas and Louisiana.
What do hummingbirds eat?
Hummingbirds nd food in the nectar of owers. They like tubular shaped
owers like honeysuckle, fuchsias, hibiscus and trumpet vine. Also the color
red seems to aract hummingbirds. It probes its long thin bill into the ower
and sucks up the nectar which is high energy food. A hummingbird can lap up
nectar like a kien lapping milk. It can ick its tongue 13 mes in one second.
How fast can you? Hummingbirds also need to eat insects for protein, miner-
als and vitamins. You can also put out a hummingbird feeder to help supply
the sweet nectar they need. Dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 4 cups of warm water
and let it cool then put it in the feeder. You should replace the sugar water atleast once a week, because it can get rancid.

Winged Jewelunknown
With wings spun of silver and hearts of gold,These tiny creatures our hearts behold.With angelic features and colors so bright,
Make even the heaviest heart seem light.The magical way they flit through the sky,They appear, then vanish in the blink of aneye.They're sending a message for us to retrieve,Anything's possible for those who believe!
The Hummingbirdby Steven F. White
Kiss these flowers, drink their colors,in the garden where I'm sleeping.They're like whirlpools, all these flowers,their throats of gold, yours of ruby.
Give me the force, give me the light
to be the message of your wings.Sketch above me with your long beak.Let your design of healing fall.
Mark my body with my singingso you'll know me when I flourish.Your eyes are now a field of eyesin the garden's flow of flowers.
Can I call you when I need you?Will you help me when I'm frightened?Drink my colors, they're like whirlpools.Kiss this flower, my open mouth.
The HummingbirdSylvia Finegan
The Hummingbird is cute and tiny;Sometimes his wings look very shiny.His beak is long and comes to a point;And in it you won't find a joint.
He's stays around the feeder, and protectshis food;He's sometimes aggressive, with a lot of at-
titude.A humming sound, he seems to mutter;His wings are so fast, you might see themflutter.
He'll go from flower, to feeder, to flower;He'll fly through a water mist, to take hisshower.A brand new feeder, he has found;
One he can eat from, and buzz all around.
At the end of the summer, you must flyaway;But I know you'll be back, again someday.
