2012 Wall Hummingbird Calendar

Hummingbirds are remarkably small birds with a high metabolism. A great deal of energy is spent flying, so they must eat almost constantly. Hummingbirds can consume up to twice their body weight in nectar every day.

They usually feed on nectar and insects actually lapping up the nectar with their tongues. Hummingbirds are able to perch and will do so at feeders regularly. Because they fly so much, they have poorly developed feet. They can barely walk at all. The hummingbird is much more comfortable in flight.

The flight of hummingbirds is astonishing to watch. They are able to fly up, down, forward, backward and sideways. They can stop in midair. Hummingbirds are famous for their aerial display. Some displays are courtship displays; other displays are aggressive. They fly considerable distances when they are migrating.

Hummingbirds lack a real song. Instead, they vocalize chirping notes. Most calls are short buzz trills and chirps. Hummingbirds' wings 'buzz' or make a whirring sound while the birds are in flight. This sound is referred to as a "wing whistle." Birds often vocalize to attract a mate.

Gorgets (located at the throat) are composed of flat iridescent feathers that shine bright colors when sunlight is reflected at certain angles. Because hummingbirds don't actually sing, males will use their gorgets in breeding displays. They also use their gorgets as a threat to territory intruders. As you can see in this calendar, gorgets help identify the different species of hummingbirds.
