Fun facts about my spirit animal, the hummingbird:

• their hearts are relatively the largest of *all* animals: 2.5% of their body weight
• the smallest birds in the world are hummingbirds 
• they cover 500 miles when they migrate from South America to North America in the spring, flying for 20 hours without stopping
• they have 4 cones in their retinas, and are capable of seeing ultraviolet ight and more colors than humans, who only have three cones
• their brains are 4.2% of their body weight—more than twice that of humans!

(maybe less) fun facts about these posters:

• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.57 oz/y² (189 g/m²)
• Giclée printing quality
• Opacity: 94%
• ISO brightness: 104%

In Aztec mythology, the hummingbird symbolizes strength in life as we navigate difficult times. They’re migratory birds, but this museum-quality print will last all year long.

    Wow, 20 hours without stopping… where does that energy come from? 😎
