About the Microsurgery Foundation trademark:
Hummingbirds are the smallest birds on Earth, as little as five centimetres
long, weighing less than a five cent coin and with wings that beat 80 times
a second. The hummingbird epitomises perfection in nature and is an apt
symbol of the miniature world in which the microsurgeon operates.
