Hummingbirds are remarkable, but how much do you really know about the little birds?

Thanks to a new online learning course from Birds & Bloom, you can know almost everything.

The “All About Hummingbirds” course, which is the child of experts Kenn and Kimberly Kaufman, allows you to learn an array of facts about their appearance and behavior, along with tips for attracting them to your yard. You can also play interactive quizzes that help you remember the info among other modules.

Once you’re done with the course, which takes about a day or shorter to complete, you receive a Certificate of Completion from the Backyard Birder program proving you’re a hummingbird pro.

Normally, the course costs $35, but Birds & Bloom is giving one of our readers the opportunity to take the course for free.

  1. Pure joy to feed these angels. I give them purified water with organic sugar

  2. My loves of hummingbirds cannot be counted, but I will say one of my favorites is they seem not to know how tiny they are, even if you could remind them it’d matter not. Their courage is immense, they will dive bomb much bigger birds w out a second thought. Its inspiring, for me, they symbolize strength, perseverence, Courage and freedom. And the unending entertainment and enjoyment of watching them is priceless.

  3. I love how tiny, delicate and fast they are.
