Hovering Bird
by Karla Elena Gonzalez
(San Diego CA 4862 Logan Ave. Apt. 204)
I am the tiniest bird in the world.
I flap my wings 80 times per second.
I can fly right, left, up, backwards and even upside down.
I can hover by flapping my wings in a horizontal 8 pattern.
I can't smell.
I have the largest brain of all birds.
I have more than 325 species.
I am the only bird whose predator is an insect.
I eat 3 times the weight of my body each day.
I am capable of living more than a decade.
I am a Hummingbird!
