Humming birds are beautiful birds, that we see at our feeder every year! Do you know much about them? Well, here's some fun facts about them.
They have a heartbeat of around 1,260 beats per minute! That's crazy right, ours is 60-100 beats per minute. Anyways when night comes they are in trouble, because they cannot go around finding flowers all night, and the flowers close anyways. They would simply die if they did not have this amazing system called torpor. Ever night, it slows their heart beat to 36 times per minute. It's amazing, not a feature that sounds like was evolved.
