Hummingbirds are birds native to the Americas and constituting the biological family Trochilidae.
All Tree Bird products are built from Corten steel which is something really special. It comes to you raw, but over the course of a few months develops a rust patina on the surface of the metal. This patina forms a barrier layer keeping the cortex from continuing to rust almost as if you painted it, but with this rustic look. The rufous-tailed hummingbird will last for decades if left to it's own devices.
Dimensions : 9" wide x 3.625" High 1/8 thick Corten
History:
They are the smallest of birds, most species measuring 3–5 in in length. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to in excess of 80 in some of the smallest. To conserve energy when food is scarce, and nightly when not foraging, they can go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation, slowing their metabolic rate to 1/15th of its normal rate.
The rufous-tailed hummingbird is a medium-sized hummingbird that breeds from east-central Mexico, through Central America and Colombia, east to western Venezuela and south through western Ecuador to near the border with Peru.
