Hummingbirds have fascinated people since ancient times, becoming a powerful symbol. In many cultures, meeting a hummingbird is considered a sign of good news and positive changes to come.

Hummingbirds are a symbol of skillful management of one's own life. The hummingbird symbolizes freedom, independence and, at the same time, flexibility and the ability to adapt to any situation. Hummingbird symbolism includes such qualities as speed, swiftness and the ability to quickly react to what is happening.
Also, the hummingbird represents the awareness and understanding that any big goal will be achievable if you break it down into understandable small steps. A small rainbow bird reminds us that small things can have great power, and a small idea has the right to exist and can sometimes turn life around.
The hummingbird is a symbol of great energy and vitality, because the bird can be in flight for several hours in a row, flapping its wings incessantly.
In the highlands of the Andes in South America, the hummingbird is a symbol of resurrection. This is due to the fact that on cold nights in the mountains, the hummingbird freezes and falls into a stupor, because all processes slow down in a small organism when the temperature drops. But every morning, when the sun rises and warms all living things with warmth, the bird wakes up and lives its new day, enjoying life. Such symbolism of the hummingbird is similar to the symbolism of the mythical Phoenix bird, which burns and rises from the ashes.
The hummingbird symbolizes many different concepts. Because of its speed, the hummingbird is known as a messenger capable of controlling time. It is also a symbol of love, joy and beauty. Hummingbirds can also fly backwards, teaching us that we can look back at our past.
But this bird also teaches that we should not dwell on our past; we have to move forward. When hummingbirds fly over flowers, drinking nectar, we learn that we should enjoy every moment and appreciate what we love.
The picture has a collective image, symbolizing immortality, vitality, endurance, a powerful energy flow and perfect cyclic recovery
