Mother Hummingbird Colouring Page

A mother hummingbird settles into a tiny cup-shaped nest on a slender branch. Two little eggs peek out beside her, and a few nearby leaves shelter the snug nest. Her long bill, folded wing and small rounded body make the nest feel especially delicate against the branching twigs. How to colour: Use olive green on the mother's crown and back, pale cream on her chest, soft grey-brown on the folded wing and charcoal on her bill. Keep the eggs ivory-white. Colour the nest tan with moss-green patches, the branch warm brown and the leaves fresh green. Apply tiny overlapping pencil strokes to suggest the woven nest, smooth light layers on the eggs, and short feather strokes on the bird. Darken the nest rim gently while keeping the eggs and face bright.
