HUMMING BIRDS
Humming birds,’ which are among the smallest birds in the world, are featured in a special display at the Museum this week. These tiny birds, which are smaller than some butterflies, are found in tropical countries, where they feed on honey from flowers. They are so small th'at they sometimes fall victims to large spiders. They form a striking contrast to the moas, which are displayed in a nearby Case. . • vy. ..... . ■ : o m. K- ■ v
