Hummingbirds are amazing.
They can fly backward, have the smallest eggs in the bird kingdom, build their nests with spider webs, eat bugs, and drink nectar.
And when hummingbirds seek out nectar, they can also pollinate.

Every day, somewhere in the Americas, a hummingbird is seeking out flowers for nectar. While a hummingbird is feeding and flitting about, there are a few ways it can initiate pollination.
Pollen grains can attach themselves to the bird’s body and “catch a ride” from flower to flower. Another is when the fast-beating wings create a powerful wind that pushes the pollen grains from one flower to another.
We hope you will embark on your own journey of discovery to understand more about hummingbirds and how important pollination is for everybody. Keep an eye out for flowering plants and you’ll be sure to find pollinators hard at work!
