FUN FACT SUNDAY
A little something about hummingbirds. A hummingbird's heart accounts for is 2.5 percent of their body weight. For perspective, the human heart accounts for only 0.3 percent of total body mass.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds have the fastest metabolisms not only in the bird world but also in the entire animal kingdom. They can eat up to 3 times their weight in nectar every day. Respect and awe for the beauty packed into such a small size and thrives on its body's extremes.
