🐦⚔️ The #Aztecs called hummingbirds "huitzillin" and viewed them as fierce warriors despite their tiny size, associating them with their supreme god Huitzilopochtli, whose name means "hummingbird of the south."

They believed dead warriors were reincarnated as #hummingbirds and that these aggressive little #birds embodied the strength needed to defend territory and fight much larger #predators.
