To Many ROCK CONCERTS

This is the frilled coquette: what some might call the champion of crazy hair day. Or the craziest rock star in the world. Though it is not because of  this look, it is because of it's mating display. But we'll get to that later. This bird is 3 1/4 in. and weighs only 3grams. They live on the central part of the east coast and the jungles around there. It has an orange crest on top of it's head. White feather tufts spotted with black help with the matting display. Black feathers cover the neck and the back of the head and ear coverts are a blue-green reflecting color that kind of sparkles. It has an amazing tail that is brown, orange, and thin. They drink nectar from tube like flowers. Now for the mating display. Look at this! Isn't that amazing? The feather tufts are orange when the are spread out! The black feathers look puffy! The tail feathers spread!
This bird is so Awesome

What's this Speck on my Pencil?

OK it isn't a speck. But it is only 2 in. tall and this pencil is the perfect perch. This bee hummingbird  weighs almost nothing, at 2 grams. That's 1/16of an ounce. It has a striking red head that tops the deep blue wings. After two birds mate, the male leaves.This bird only lays 2 eggs. The chicks are in there eggs for a bout 22 days.(what's with all the twos?) The chicks stay with the mother for about 19 days.(Finally, a number besides 2!) Tiny but brave, this bird dive bombs anything that gets to close to the chicks, even eagles.   Native only to Cuba and a nearby Island called Isla de la Juventud this bird lives in lush green forests, and drinks nectar from tube like flowers every 5 minutes in order to live. This bird is truly extraordinary.
