Despite being one of the smallest types of birds at 3-5 inches, this delicate bird is the only bird species that can fly backwards. Humming birds will hover in mid air as they extract liquid nectar from the flower. Interestingly, the humming bird will reject nectar that is less than 10% sugar, and will seek out those flowers with a higher sugar content in its nectar. Enjoy the delicate nature of the humming bird as you view each of the artistic images. Each depicted image beautifully portrays the humming bird with a combination of pale pink, purple, blue and green backgrounds.
