When a hummingbird appears in a garden, it means that he comes to tell us that the souls of those we love are fine.
We know it as a hummingbird, but many others call it a hummingbird. A hummingbird used to appear in my patio and my mom would yell letter! letter …! my grandmother used to say: warning…!! warning …! and she urgently ordered to prepare a glass with water and a lot of sugar, which according to what they say is what she likes to drink.
In the midst of that uproar, always in love, I thought, now I’m going to see him! Maybe I saw it, maybe not, but who can stop this “storm of feelings”?
A Guarani legend tells that death is not the end of life, because when man dies, he leaves his body on Earth but the soul continues its existence.
Legend has it that the soul is detached and flies away to hide in a flower waiting for a magical being. Then, it is when the “mainimbú” (Guarani name of the Hummingbird) appears and collects the souls from the flowers, to guide them lovingly to Paradise. This is why it flies from flower to flower.
Formerly it was believed that the hummingbird came from a fairyland and whoever has the pleasure of contemplating it today will not be far from thinking the same.
Considered in other times as a divine being, with magical attributes, the hummingbird inspired fantastic legends.
The Hummingbird inhabits all of America but especially in tropical areas. There are different species: the Cuban sunsún does not reach 5 centimeters in length and is the smallest known bird.
The nest is tiny like its owner: it is the size of a walnut. When it flies, its wings vibrate at an incredible speed and it is impossible to distinguish them. While it absorbs the nectar it seems as if its body is suspended in the air.
If you see it, be happy, because it is said that when a hummingbird or hummingbird approaches a house, it is a sign that there will be pleasant visits and that a soul will be lovingly guided to Paradise.
