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. They are so fascinating.

  2. The hummingbird that comes to Maine has a beautiful shimmery blue-green throat,so enchanting to watch.God has certainly created some wonderfully amazing creatures.

  3. My hummers are my summer friends. They arrive each Spring bringing joy, departing in the Fall with my heart. They buzz around my head when I garden and chirp distress when I remove their feeder for filling. I look forward to them each year and hope I am privileged to observe them for many more!!
