Hummingbird Series #2 - a photo on Flickriver

            Hummingbirds are well known for their unique size and behavior, but one of their most interesting tendencies is to puff up their bodies when feeling threatened or stressed. This behavior is a type of thermoregulation; by puffing itself up, a hummingbird can fluff out its feathers and trap small amounts of air between each feather, thereby creating an insulated layer that traps heat radiation generated from the bird’s body and keeps it warm.

Additionally, this pose can help make hummingbirds appear larger to potential predators in order to deter them from attacking. Therefore, through its clever thermoregulation process, the humble hummingbird has found a way to defend itself against threats to its safety – all while remaining unassuming despite its remarkable capabilities.
