Other content you can look out for:
What hummingbird heartbeats can teach us about being alive: It seems that among all animals (including humans), a heart is wired to die out after a certain number of heart beats.

[Patricia @ Bird Fun Facts @birdfunfacts]

That means an animal with a slower-beating heart lives longer than a fast-beating heart. And since hummingbirds have one of the fastest heartbeats in the world, what does that mean for their short, magnificent lives?!

[Patricia @ Bird Fun Facts @birdfunfacts]

This April, you can expect a bunchhhh of #hummingbird-related content, such as: 1) How hummingbirds slow down their heart rate by over 95% when they rest; existing in a state in between sleep and death! :O
