Rumbito Hummingbird
The Mulsant's hummingbird, green-and-white coquette or white-breasted hummingbird (Chaetocercus mulsant) is a species of bird in the Trochilidae family, found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Sexually dimorphic, males measure 8-8.5 cm in length, females 7.5 cm in length. The bill is about 17 mm long. The male is bright green with a white spot behind each eye, and the throat is bright pink to purple. The female has bronze-green upperparts, with an elongated post-ocular spot that is more prominent than the male's. The underparts are white with reddish flanks. The tail is shorter than the male's.
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.
This bird has been highly appreciated by the Mayans and Mexicas, who considered it the messenger of the gods for its agility in flying.
Our ancestors associated the hummingbird with balance in nature, thanks to its long beak that allows it to drink nectar from flowers inaccessible to many other birds.
