They were also an integral part of the ritual consumption of food and corn beer carried out at Cahuachi. The use of bottles with elaborate decoration was related to feasts, processions, and other prestige building activities carried out by high-status individuals and households.

For #WorldRainforestDay + #PollinatorWeek: #Hummingbird & Trumpet Flower, giant #LEGO art by Sean Kenney from his 2019 show at Liberty Science Center, NJ.
“FUN FACT: This sculpture is made using 35,508 LEGO bricks!”
#BirdsInArt
photo of the sculpture view 1 hovering male ruby-throated hummingbird (green/red/white/black) sipping nectar from orange trumpet flowers photo of the sculpture view 2 sign photo #1 “HUMMINGBIRD & TRUMPET FLOWER (Archilochus colubris) Hummingbirds' wing speeds range from 13 to 80 beats per second. They can hover in mid-air, and they are the only birds that can fly in reverse. The long tubes of trumpet flowers force the hummingbirds to contact pollen as they seek nectar. With every visit to feed, hummingbirds propagate the growth of more flowers. Think Like an Artist "I love creating sculptures that look like they defy gravity. This ruby-throated hummingbird hovers in the air as it feeds, and symbolizes harmony, persistence, and the ability to step back and look at the big picture-all skills that are also important to being an artist!" -Sean Kenney” sign photo #2 “Think Like an Engineer ANIMALS AND ENGINEERING If you love animals and engineering, many jobs are aligned with your passion. Pet care is a booming field for engineers. Engineers are employed at zoos to design exhibits for animals that keep them happy and safe while also viewable for zoo guests. Engineers work in government agencies monitoring environmental regulations and disease control, or in education, animal breeding, and equipment manufacturing. FUN FACT This sculpture is made using 35,508 LEGO bricks!”

Dieser Allen-Kolibri scheint über irgendetwas mächtig aufgebracht zu sein!

Diese Füßchen! Dieses Schillern!

It’s #NationalHummingbirdDay too? Well ok then, here’s a little guy showing off his one little red feather. Soon it’ll be clear why he’s called a Ruby-throated Hummingbird

A small bird with a mostly white breast and belly perches on a wire fence and looks up at the sky. He has one small red feather on the right side of his throat.
