Often featured on Eighth Generation products and our Store sign at Pike Place Market, hummingbirds are whimsical creatures that have delighted and impacted people of many backgrounds.

Store sign at Seattle's iconic Pike's Place Market designed by founder Louie Gong (Nooksack).

Louie shares that hummingbirds are often considered a sign of good luck, or sometimes, a sign of a relative who has passed on paying a visit.

Hummingbirds have symbolically been seen as good omens, good luck, and a reminder to find joy in the small things in life.

How much do we really know about these small but mighty creatures?
