The hummingbird is a very small bird species native to America.
With a total of 343 identified species, the bee hummingbird is
considered the smallest bird species in the world. Its tiny size,
its speed and its great flight capacity make the hummingbird a
very special bird, the object of numerous investigations.

Most hummingbirds live in wooded and wooded areas where there are many flowers, as well as
in grasslands and meadows. However, there are several species that do quite well in other
environments, such as big cities, warm and cool areas, desert environments, as well as areas
that have snowfall.
Their habitats are also situated at various altitudes and range from high in the Andes
Mountains to 14,000 feet below sea level. However, most hummingbirds enjoy living in Central
and South America and can be found there year-round, with some moving north each year.

enter a mini-bernation phase, an energy-conserving mode called "torpor." While in
torpor mode, there is a significant drop in the hummingbird's metabolism and
heart rate, giving the little bird the ability to live for long periods of time
without eating much food.
• The hummingbird is an animal that is in danger of extinction, basically for these
reasons:
