The hummingbirds are seen by many ethnic groups as symbols of life and prosperity, joy and love. We find a good example with the Aztecs, who had talismans in the shape of these little birds, who firmly believed that their owners had better sexuality in order to perfect their talents and life energies, which were important characteristics in the warlike culture of the indigenous people Mexico were.
The hummingbird is the national bird of the island of Jamaica and is therefore admired throughout the Caribbean. The pre-Columbian societies (Aztecs, Incas in Peru) remembered the hummingbirds in several ceremonies.
The enormous outlines of this shape over the lines of Nazca in Peru stand out, which can only be admired from above, which were created by a preculture before the Incas.
Other native cultures in America, such as the Ojibwe and the Haida, tell in their legends of the mythical origin of the hummingbirds: It is said that they were created by ravens on beautiful flowers that bloomed in spring. The ravens gave their generation the ability to flutter like in the shining light between the leaves of the trees. As a signal of gratitude, the hummingbirds decided to fly from flower to flower to show their gratitude for their inherited grace and beauty.
This beautiful story tries to explain the living nature that is inherent in this little bird.
