Perched Humming Bird

Zip-zap! This Perched Humming Bird stone art is a depiction of one of the most agile birds found in the wild. The only birds with the ability to hover in a single place for a while. Tired a bit from all that flying this one decided to perch on a low branch to get a drink from the pond beneath.

This Perched Humming Bird stone art made with careful attention to details and also made to be long lasting and weather proof. Will it be at your pond (or fountain or birdbath)?

Did You Know?

Many earlier studies had assumed that lift was generated equally during the two phases of the wingbeat cycle, as is the case of insects of a similar size. This finding shows that hummingbird hovering is similar yet distinct than that of hovering insects such as the hawk moth. Further studies using electromyography in hovering rufous hummingbirds showed that their muscle strain in their pectoralis major (principal downstroke muscle) was the lowest recorded in a flying bird, and their primary upstroke muscle (supracoracoideus) is proportionately larger than other bird species. Presumably due to rapid wingbeats for flight and hovering, hummingbird wings have adapted to perform without an alula.
