Hummingbird Figurine

With its unique flight and iridescent reflections, the hummingbird is one of America's most fascinating birds. Capable of beating its wings up to 80 times per second, it is the only bird that can fly backward and even hover motionless in the air.

To maintain this incredible energy, it feeds mainly on nectar, supplemented by small insects. Amazingly, a hummingbird must consume its body weight in food every day to survive. By foraging on flowers, it also plays an essential role in pollination, thus contributing to the balance of tropical ecosystems.

This Papo figurine finely reproduces the hummingbird: elongated beak, outstretched wings, and finely detailed plumage. An ideal model to enrich a collection of birds or garden animals, invent poetic stories, or raise children's awareness of the incredible abilities of this tiny sky acrobat.
