With its unique flight and iridescent reflections, the hummingbird is one of America's most fascinating birds. Capable of beating its wings up to 80 times per second, it is the only bird that can fly backward and even remain motionless in the air.
To maintain this incredible energy, it feeds primarily on nectar, supplemented by small insects. Surprisingly, a hummingbird must consume the equivalent of its own weight in food every day to survive. By foraging on flowers, it also plays an essential role in pollination, thus contributing to the balance of tropical ecosystems.
This Papo figurine exquisitely reproduces the hummingbird: elongated beak, outstretched wings and finely detailed plumage. An ideal model to enrich a collection of birds or garden animals, invent poetic stories or educate children about the incredible abilities of this tiny sky acrobat.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
