Tobar Rainbow Humming Top Traditional Spinning Toy

Product Information

Many plants pollinated by hummingbirds produce flowers in shades of red, orange, and bright pink, although the birds take nectar from flowers of other colors. Hummingbirds can see wavelengths into the near- ultraviolet, but hummingbird-pollinated flowers do not reflect these wavelengths as many insect-pollinated flowers do. This narrow color spectrum may render hummingbird-pollinated flowers relatively inconspicuous to most insects, thereby reducing nectar robbing. [58] [59] Hummingbird-pollinated flowers also produce relatively weak nectar (averaging 25% sugars) containing a high proportion of sucrose, whereas insect-pollinated flowers typically produce more concentrated nectars dominated by fructose and glucose. [60] The high metabolic rate of hummingbirds – especially during rapid forward flight and hovering – produces increased body heat that requires specialized mechanisms of thermoregulation for heat dissipation, which becomes an even greater challenge in hot, humid climates. [104] Hummingbirds dissipate heat partially by evaporation through exhaled air, and from body structures with thin or no feather covering, such as around the eyes, shoulders, under the wings ( patagia), and feet. [105] [106] Fossil hummingbirds are known from the Pleistocene of Brazil and the Bahamas, but neither has yet been scientifically described, and fossils and subfossils of a few extant species are known. Until recently, older fossils had not been securely identifiable as those of hummingbirds. Anna's hummingbird is the official city bird of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, [122] and is a non-migrating resident of Seattle where it lives year-round through winter enduring extended periods of subfreezing temperatures, snow, and high winds. [123] Torpor [ edit ] Alternatively, tops of this class may be started by hand but then accelerated and kept in motion by striking them repeatedly with a small whip.

Many hummingbird species exhibit a diverse vocal repertoire of chirps, squeaks, whistles and buzzes. [82] [83] Vocalizations vary in complexity and spectral content during social interactions, foraging, territorial defense, courtship, and mother-nestling communication. [82] Territorial vocal signals may be produced in rapid succession to discourage aggressive encounters, with the chirping rate and loudness increasing when intruders persist. [82] During the breeding season, male and female hummingbirds vocalize as part of courtship. [82] The Humming Top made its debut in Sonic Advance 2 as Sonic and Amy's Long Wind Jump maneuver. When using the Humming Top in this game, Sonic spins around with one of his legs in a tornado-like manner, stirring up blue winds. Amy on the other hand spins around herself at less speed while leaving a trail of pink hearts. Bleiweiss, Robert; Kirsch, John A. W.; Matheus, Juan Carlos (1999).

Such toys have been used since antiquity in solitary or competitive games, where each player tries to keep one's top spinning for as long as possible, or achieve some other goal. Some tops have faceted bodies with symbols or inscriptions, and are used like dice to inject randomness into games, or for divination and ritual purposes. Hummingbird (search)".

[193] Hummingbird beak lengths range from about 6 millimetres (0.24in) to as long as 110 millimetres (4.3in). [194] When catching insects in flight, a hummingbird's jaw flexes downward to widen the beak for successful capture. [181]
