| They’re small but mighty. Weighing less than a nickel, these pint-sized marvels cross the Gulf of Mexico in a single non-stop flight during migration. Not only that, they can sustain their wings at an unbelievable rate of 50 beats per second. And you’ll have to be speedy, too, if you want to adopt a Ruby-throated Hummingbird: These miniature beauties are going fast!
When you adopt a bird through Audubon’s Gift Center, you’ll become an integral part of our top-flight work for birds and the natural world we all share. And as a thank you, we’ll send a captivating plush right to your mailbox. Celebrate Hummingbird Day today with a Ruby-throated Hummingbird adoption, and you’ll protect birds and their habitats for generations to come. |
