Johan Scherft is a master at creating realistic papercraft birds. His newest creation is this ruby-throated hummingbird model. The free PDF template for the hummingbird comes in two sizes: a large size for practice building and a smaller, life-size version (downloads available here). Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds in the world. Their native habitat is restricted to the Americas.
