Oh look! A hummingbird! Do you know the origin of their name? Hummingbirds can flap their wings so fast that they create a humming sound when they fly. Though hummingbirds look tiny, they consume enormous amounts of food every day due to their high metabolism. They need to eat very often, their food including nectar, tree sap and insects. In some cultures, seeing a hummingbird is a sign of good luck. Now that you have seen three of them, I wish you triple luck today!

Challenge!

Can you find the objects hidden in the big picture?
