Hummingbirds have feathers that shine in beautiful colors like green, blue, and purple. They have long, thin beaks perfect for reaching into flowers. Even though they are tiny, their colors are very bright and sparkly.
Hummingbirds drink sweet nectar from flowers using their long thin beaks. They also eat tiny bugs for extra energy. Hummingbirds visit hundreds of flowers every day to get enough food.
