A character by
There’s a secret about hummingbirds you may not know: they deliver the mail for insects.

It’s very tough to be an insect, and even tougher to deliver pressed envelopes and small packages.

That’s where the hummingbirds come in: they zip through the trees carrying these small treasures to their destinations in a flash of emerald.

Claudette knew she wanted to deliver the mail ever since she was the size of a may beetle.

However, only male hummingbirds were allowed the honor of carrying the post.

Female hummingbirds, like Claudette, were tasked with carrying a different cargo altogether: pollen. While the males flashed through the trees, their ruby heads glimmering proudly, the females dusted their dull feathers in the powder and hummed about the flowers.

Claudette would have nothing to do with pollen.

She was fast, faster even than the males! With her slender body and spirited movements, she could outpace anyone who challenged her to a race.

And her heart! Not only did it beat strongly for her small body, it also cared for the insects and their trust they placed in the hummingbirds.

Despite her parents’ pleas, she would not abandon her dreams.

Despite the strange looks cast upon her by the other hummingbirds, she would not abandon the purpose she knew was hers.

But when the time came to prove herself to the mail carriers, they jeered at Claudette, refusing to accept her as anything more than a female.

Crestfallen, the little hummingbird retreated from her kin.

That’s when she met Mr. Bumblebee who was fumbling about with a small, wrapped package. He trusted her to take it to the old log by the stream, so he wouldn’t be late for work.

And when Mrs. Brown Beetle was surprised by how quickly the package from Mr. Bumblebee arrived, she was excited to send Claudette away with her letters marked for the thorny holly bush by the stream.

And when Ms. Butterfly received the letters from Mrs. Brown Beetle, he couldn’t wait to send the new mail carrier off with her entire batch of wedding invitations.

So, the entire forest was able to make it to Mr. and Mrs. Butterfly’s wedding, as the invitations arrived so early.

Everyone was singing such high praise for this new mail carrier, that Claudette could no longer be ignored. She was, without a doubt, the best hummingbird for carrying the post.

So, next time you see a hummingbird flitting about among the trees, look closely.

You might be lucky enough to spot Claudette.
