The common screech hummingbird or its scientific name (Colibri coruscans) is a species of apodiform bird of the hummingbird family (Trochilidae). It is distributed throughout much of western and northern South America and is a nectarivorous species.
This hummingbird is a rather territorial bird characteristic of highlands where it is commonly found in semi-open areas. Its name Colibri comes from the Spanish language and is supposedly based on a Caribbean term. The epithet coruscans comes from Latin and means sparkling or brilliant.
Meaning of Hummingbirds?
The hummingbird embodies a symbolism with a powerful spiritual meaning, as it represents the resurrection of souls. In some ancient cultures it means death in the cold nights of winter and resurrection to life with the dawn of spring.
These tiny birds symbolize enthusiasm for enjoyment and are considered powerful spiritual messengers.
A story about the Aztecs Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun and war, was represented as a hummingbird. His headdress had the silhouette of the bird, and his beak was what stood out most in this outfit.
