In this video students will learn many facts about hummingbirds. A hummingbird's heart beats 1260 times a minute. Their wings beat 55-75 times in that same minute. They weigh one-tenth of an ounce. They can fly backwards, forwards, up, down, upside d...own, and can hover in mid-air. They feed on nectar from a variety of flowers and may visit 1000 flowers a day. They prefer 25% sugar. They feed in small doses. This is a great teaching resource for elementary/middle school students. This video would work well in conjunction with a story about hummingbirds, units/lessons on birds and/or migration. (01:31).

This short video gives excellent real life footage of Juan Fernandez Hummingbirds. This strikingly colored and big-footed hummingbird shows a pronounced difference in physical appearance between males and females. The male Juan Fernández firecrown is... fiery reddish in color, particularly the iridescent forehead and crown, and the wings are a dark coppery-grey. The female has an iridescent bluish-purple crown and slate green wings. The upperparts are blueish-green and the underparts are white, dappled with black and green spots. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (2:34)
