Hummingbird Feeding Colouring Page

A mother hummingbird leans over the rim of a tiny nest to feed one of her two waiting chicks. Both chicks raise their small heads from the cosy cup of woven fibres. The slender supporting branch and a few leaves keep attention on this close family moment and the careful movement of the mother's long bill. How to colour: Use olive green for the mother's back, cream for her chest, grey-brown for her wings and charcoal for her bill. Colour the chicks pale grey with warm cream chests and small yellow-orange mouth edges. Use tan and light brown for the nest, brown for the branch and leaf green for the foliage. Work with short, soft pencil strokes on the chicks to suggest down, then shade the nest in small curved layers. Add the darkest brown beneath the nest rim and keep each little face lightly coloured.
