Royal Hummingbirds

Three regal hummingbirds gently hover in a pageant of elegance.  Hummingbirds communicate with one another by making visual displays.  Females favor “shuttle flights” with rapid back and forth movements, while only males exhibit “dive displays” featuring U-shaped arc trajectories, diving, buzzing, whistling and popping. The rich color pallet is drawn from royal Windsor heraldics featuring rondeau blue, scarlet red, and alluvian gold, set against a warm sandstone background.
