    Introduction

    Hummingbirds have fascinated humans from early ages. They were an important part of Aztec culture, for example, and it also appears on Trinidad and Tobago’s one cent coin.

    For a very long time, it was only known in its native area by the native people. As Europeans discovered them, they found them intriguing, not sure how they stayed up in the air.

    Hummingbirds even became part of fashion in the 19th century or so. Hummingbirds are very pretty little creatures, and this inspired many people to use them in their fashion, art, and economy.

    But what exactly is a hummingbird? And how do they live? These are questions that can be easily answered with a little reading.
