hummingbird

Volgens die woordeboek is 'n kolibrie 'n baie klein voël met 'n lang, dun snawel en iriserende verekleed, wat in staat is om in die lug te sweef deur vinnig sy vlerke te klap. Kolibries is bekend vir hul vermoë om agteruit te vlieg en hul hoë metabolisme, wat vereis dat hulle groot hoeveelhede nektar inneem om hul energievlakke te handhaaf. Hulle word hoofsaaklik in die Amerikas aangetref en word dikwels beskou as 'n simbool van energie, vreugde en vryheid.
