Once a hummingbird was purchased, a player could have bought as many as desired for 400 Gems.
These were the first pets to be sold exclusively at Animal Jam Outfitters for real money.
If the bee buddy and the flaming hoop accessories are equipped, the bee will be burned when the hummingbird flies through. This causes the bee's eyes to widen, the fur to become black and charred, and smoke to emerge from the top of the bee companion.
The player can decide on a small white marking that can be seen on the belly. Whatever the marking is, that is what the hummingbird will fly through (Ex: flower markings allows the bird to fly through a flower hoop).
One of the accessories for the hummingbird is a head feather, possibly based off a story called "The Hummingbird". The story is about a Native American girl and a man from a different tribe that fall in love. The girl's dad forces her to marry another man, and when she prays to her god to not have her marry him, the god turns her into a flower, and the man she loves into a hummingbird, who flies swiftly, looking for the flower.
