The ruby-throated hummingbird is mostly found in eastern and central US, but breeds throughout the central US and Central America. Often found in gardens, it winters in tropical rainforest. Reaching a length of only 3 inches, it is, along with other hummingbirds, the smallest bird in the world. They are well known for their ability to hover and fly backwards like a helicopter. To accomplish this their wings beat about 90 times per second. Interestingly, during courtship this rises to nearly 200.

Oval display base is available on demand.
