Feeding from Flowers
The quintessential hummingbird moment — hovering inches from a blossom, long beak probing for nectar. This section spans lavender fields, fuchsia blooms, hibiscus flowers, sunflowers, and garden daisies.
Hummingbirds in Flight
Dynamic, wings-spread and hovering poses — from naturalistic mid-flight illustrations to intricate mandala, zentangle, and tribal-patterned designs.
Artistic & Stylized Designs
For colorists who love a more decorative, illustrative style — pages including floral-filled silhouettes, moonlit night scenes, and stained glass patterns.
Fun Fact: Hummingbirds are the only birds capable of flying backward, and they can flap their wings up to 80 times per second, according to National Geographic. Their hearts beat over 1,200 times per minute during flight!

Top Hummingbird Coloring Tips & Craft Ideas
Hummingbirds are the ultimate test of a colorist’s ability to capture shimmer and movement. Their plumage is structurally iridescent — meaning the color literally changes with the viewing angle — so the best approach is to never use a single flat hue on the body.
- Iridescent Feathers: Layer teal or forest green as a base, then add strokes of turquoise and finally a touch of cobalt blue at the edges. Finish with a white gel pen highlight along the spine of the body and at the top of the wings.
- Transparent Wings: Use a very light touch — barely-there lavender or pale grey — on the wings and leave small areas completely blank near the wing tips to suggest the near-invisible blur of 80 beats per second.
- Greeting Card Cutouts: Color one of the simpler single-bird pages, cut it out carefully with scissors, and glue it onto a folded piece of cardstock with a pressed dried flower behind it.
- Neon Dreamscapes: Don’t feel bound to realistic colors. The stylized silhouette and mandala pages look absolutely stunning in unexpected neon palettes.
Finished pieces from the nest and branch sections make especially lovely framed art for a nursery or nature-themed room. Print at full size on smooth cardstock, color with soft watercolor pencils, and a light wash of water for a dreamy, professional finish.
