LunaBaby Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Look it's the world's smallest bird and it's too cute! It's a type of hummingbird called a zunzuncito (say that 10 times fast) Check it out!
judygram Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Me too and that one is tiny. Thanks for sharing that with us.
LunaBaby Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 Here's a better pic.. imagine a penny for a perch lol
dblhelix Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I love hummingbirds! This is a photo I took of one coming to a feeder in our backyard last year. Pic taken at dusk with flash from about 6 feet away. I stood there waiting and watching a few come and go for quite some time, then captured a few pictures! :laugh:
CeasarsDad Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 This tiny bird could be mistaken for a large bug.. I hope no one smashed one of them by accident... <br><br>Post edited by: CeasarsDad, at: 2007/06/23 06:17
Guest islandgirltexas Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 HOW PRECIOUS..I HAVE A YARD FULL OF HUMMINGBIRDS..ALMOST THAT SMALL. I HAVE MANY AROMATIC FLOWERS AND THEY LOVE THEM...I AM THINKING OF GETTING A FEEDER FOR THEM TO ATTRACT MORE.

Talon Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Nice picture! I have them come to my hanging baskets on my porch, but have never been able to capture one on a photo.
LunaBaby Posted June 23, 2007 Author Posted June 23, 2007 Awesome picture dblhelix!! I'm so jealous of all you talented photographers! Anyone wanna take a few pictures of my babies?? :silly:
CeasarsDad Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Hey Luna.. You know.. We can get you to become a talented photographer if that's what you want.. Do you have a digital camera?
LunaBaby Posted June 24, 2007 Author Posted June 24, 2007 I do actually but it's an older Nikon coolpix 4300.. nothing fancy =)
Guest Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Is a hummingbird a different name for what they call a kiwi in australia? Or is it a different bird altogether? He's adorable
dblhelix Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Absolutely and completely different. Kiwi's are rather large, flightless birds from New Zealand, not Australia. B) You can google "kiwi bird" and read all about them. They are quite interesting and endangered, I saw them when in NZ. Here is a good link with some pics: http://www.chemistry.co.nz/kiwibird.htm<br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2007/06/25 18:47
