Ah, hummingbirds.

Tiny little creatures, nature's avian helicopter.

They measure just a few inches in length.

Their needle-like bigs are a standout feature.

When they fly, they sound like bees buzzing.

They come in all sorts of rainbow shades, green, red, orange, purple, blue.

In fact, there are more than 350 species of them, and they really only live in one place.

We know that the hummingbirds are birds just in the American continent, from Alaska to Chile. There is no hummingbird in Europe.

This is 76-year-old Katya Latouf. In Mexico, where she lives, there are about 57 species of hummingbirds.

And they live between three to five years, depending of the species of them.

Katya has made hummingbirds part of her life, and she fully embraces their creation myth.

Mayan legend has it that hummingbirds were created after all things on earth.

The gods noticed that something was missing to take people's wishes and thoughts from one place to another,

so they took a jade stone and threw it into the air. Thus, the hummingbird was born.

Humans were amazed by how beautiful these birds were, so they hunt them for their feathers.

But when the gods saw what humans were doing, they declared death by punishment to anyone who touched a hummingbird.

We don't touch, we don't put in a cage a hummingbird.

And when Katzius says you're not supposed to cage hummingbirds, she means it.

Because she has her own hummingbird sanctuary inside her apartment,

where these tiny little birds are nursed until they're ready to fly outdoors.

Back again.

Thank you. Back again. I'm Manila Morales, and this is Alice Obscura,
