Humming birds

The Hummingbird people can be generally compared to a blend of pre-Inca Wari society and members of the Colobri biological genus.
Hummingbirds are one of the twelve races of anthropomorphic birds that populate Yanìs, and are grouped in the subgenus of Singers together with Canaries, Paradisaeas and Parrots.

Physically, they are very small and delicate, among the smallest of all Anthro races, with heights never exceeding 2.5 feet. Their plumage has bright colors ranging from brown to green, from red to black. The brilliance of colors is due to transparent horny lamellae present in their feathers, which function as optical prisms. The beak can have a variety of shapes and sizes, which generally reflect their eating habits, adapting to the flower shape on which they feed. The tongue is extensible and forked, and the legs are short, inducing a funny walk on the ground. Females are generally larger than males, but males have more vibrant colors, particularly on the throat and head. Their chicks are born ovoviviparous, meaning they hatch within the mother's body, and families usually never have more than three or four chicks throughout their life.

The Hummingbird people have always coexisted with the Seal people, and artistically and culturally, they share many features. Although they coexist peacefully and administer each other through a liberal democracy, contacts between them seem to have soured over a period of no more than 50 years. There were sporadic skirmishes involving a mine first occupied by the Seals and the Hummingbird people tried,
unsuccessfully, to secure its exclusive possession. Their small towns have a variety of shapes and positions, some on the ground, others on trees; however, they are all made up of broad circular houses built of straw and mortar, including temples and large community buildings. The Hummingbird people also built a complex and extensive road system, which later became part of the island's road system, and which is now considered a common heritage.

They are a people with an almost exclusively nectivorous diet, only sporadically insectivorous, and this has led them to develop excellent floriculture techniques, especially on terraced fields, which have also been adopted by the Seal people to improve their productivity on cliffs. Their culture has always been characterized by complex and interesting artistic creations, especially with regards to lithosculptures or bas-reliefs, and finely decorated ceramics. Furthermore, in their graveyards, some mummies can be found wrapped in exquisitely decorated wool or cotton blankets. Of all the ancient fabrics it's said that those of the Hummingbirds are the most elaborate and complex.
