The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds


Product Details


There is a sense of mystery that surrounds hummingbirds: Why are they so small? What makes it possible for them to hover? Why are they so colorful? Do they ever rest? This book gives the often amazing answers. The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds takes the reader into the high-energy world of North America's smallest bird. Hearts that beat 500 to more than 1200 times per minute. Wings that buzz at as much as 52 beats per second. And respiration that can clock in at up to 600 breaths per minute. But their energetic lifestyle is only one facet of the secret lives of hummingbirds. Illustrated with twenty-nine full-color photographs, The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds is a treat for birders, naturalists, or anyone else who can't resist the allure of these eye-catching, pugnacious miniature birds. The book also includes a close-up look at the Desert Museum's famous hummingbird aviary as well as tips on how to enjoy and attract wild hummingbirds. It's no wonder that The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds is our most popular publication!

Product Reviews


(5 stars) - beautiful photos
I bought this for my 88 yr old mother because she had so many hummers at her front porch feeder. It is a small, lightweight book filled with incredibly colorful photos. Everyone who visits picks it up and reads it from her coffee table. I think she is reading it now for the fifth time. A gem!



(5 stars) - BEAUTIFUL BOOK
This book is filled with beautiful colored photos and lots of very interesting information about hummingbirds.



(5 stars) - Hummer Reference
Another reviewer was right! Small book, LOTS of information that you can USE if you're into attracting hummers...HIGHLY recommend the book.



(5 stars) - Fast Service
Order came in pretty quick and in great condition-I would order from this person again.



(5 stars) - Everything You wanted to Know About Hummingbirds But Were Afraid to Ask !!
This is a wonderful Book!! The pictures are fantastic!! Makes a great table book but unlike most table books it's full of everything you need or want to know not just pretty pictures. I "Raise" Hummers in the wild and it has provided me with a wealth of information regarding these truly magnificent creatures. I'm constantly referring to it! I wish it wasn't such a beautiful book! That way I wouldn't worry so much about dog earing it up!!hehe!!
