Colibrí :: Colibrí Gorgirrubí :: Ruby-throated hummingbird
The Colibri or hummingbird is recognized as a sacred symbol in Taíno tribal lore as the sacred pollinator and therefore disseminator of all new life. It symbolizes the rebirth of the Taíno Indigenous people in the Caribbean diaspora. In the Caribbean the Colibri is also called Zoom Zoom, Zumbador, Pajaro Mosca and Guacariga. This depiction is an albino hummingbird who lacks melanin to colorize as it traditionally is seen.
From land to sea to sky each bird transmits us to new adventures and journey deeper to ourselves.
collection: winged portraitures

The vase was sourced directly from Mexico, via San Diego, and hand-treated with sealant to house your favorite plant babies and withstand periodic watering; as well as , a final glaze to protect the hand painted artwork.
It works great for a unique gift for nature lovers, birders, and other enthusiasts in love with what nature gifts us everyday. Although the pots give a reference to the Mexican artisan cup, jarritos, they are not designed to drink from, and should only be used for decorative purposes.
About the Ruby-throated hummingbird
Small hummingbird found in a variety of woodland and brushy habitats. Male distinctive with ruby-red throat and black chin. Female has whitish underparts with almost no buffy tones (perhaps a very light wash on flanks). Readily comes to sugar water feeders and flower gardens. Default summer hummingbird over most of eastern U.S. and Canada. Winters south to Panama. Very difficult to distinguish from Black-chinned Hummingbird, especially females and young males; thankfully limited range overlap. Ruby-throated averages somewhat brighter green above, shorter- and straighter-billed, and has slightly narrower outer wing feathers, but these differences are all extremely subtle.
