Hummingbirds are fiercely independent. They like to be alone and free, seeming to revel in that freedom. Mother hummingbirds receive no help from their mate. Hummingbirds are master architects. They build their homes with great care and design.
Hummingbirds can hibernate overnight.
Their body's temperature lowers, its feathers ruffle up as insulation and it slips into a state of torpidity, looking as though it has died on its perch. Hummingbird quickly dies if caged, caught or imprisioned. Hummingbird quickly flies away from harshness, discord or disharmony.
