Ruby-throated hummingbirds are not just beautiful to look at. They also make some cool sounds! 🎶
Humming Wings: When they fly, their wings beat super fast, making a soft humming sound. It’s like they have their own little engines! 🚁
Singing Performances: During the springtime, male hummingbirds sing to impress female hummingbirds. Their songs are high-pitched and melodious, like tiny chirps and trills. It’s their way of showing off and saying, “Hey, check out my awesome singing skills!”
Chirpy Conversations: Sometimes, male hummingbirds get into little arguments and start chirping at each other. It’s their way of protecting their favorite spots and saying, “Hey, this flower patch belongs to me!”
Busy Beaks: When they’re eating or catching bugs, their beaks make little clicking sounds.
