Hummingbirds are actually born from a very small egg, approximately the size of a small pea, and if they make it through the first year they will live about 5 years in all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122687242778513362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556181175684006260.post-67665887234398512992010-12-25T04:32:23.832-05:002010-12-25T04:32:23.832-05:00I'm sorry, but the best FAQ response is actual...I'm sorry, but the best FAQ response is actually a different one from Groupon.
