Handmade Hummingbird Totem Round Porcelain PendantHummingbirds are native to the Americas, from southern Alaska to the tip of Chile, including the Caribbean. Hummingbirds can not only hover, but they can fly both forward and backward, sideways, and even upside down. With wings that beat 70 times per second, a hummer can fly 25 - 30 miles per hour and dive up to 60 miles per hour. A hummingbird can eat up to eight times its body weight in insects and nectar, visiting more than 1,000 flowers per day. Did you know? Hummingbird wings beat about 40-50 times per second in normal flight. 30% of a hummingbird's weight consists of flight muscles. Hummingbirds fly about 25 mph in normal flight and up to 40 mph in a courtship dive. The heart beats about 250 times per minute while at rest, about 1,220 per minute while flying, but slows to 50 beats per minute at night (this is called torpor). It takes about 250 breaths per minute while at rest. A hummingbird has a mass of about 3-4g (a nickel weighs about 5g); may nearly double mass prior to migration by putting on extra fat. A tiny hummingbird can consume up to 50% of its weight in nectar each day. Hummingbird is the only hummingbird regularly seen in winter along the West Coast. The colors of the crown and throat appear to change when this male turns its head. From a side view, the head looks gray, but from a face-on view, the rose color of this male is displayed. The unique making process of these porcelain pendants allows for more detail in designs than other mediums. These designs are fired into the clay at 2200 degrees, so they will not peel or wear off. Each piece is surprisingly lightweight and finished to a beautiful satin touch. Approx. Pendant size : 3.1 centimetre in diameter. Weight of the pendant : 6 grams. Comes with a 2 mm flat link stainless steel chain of 22 inch length(18+4 Inch Extender) and a lead free pewter accent bead. Wear it with bead!
