More information about Final Jeopardy:

Hummingbirds, members of the family Trochilidae, are among the smallest birds. They’re called hummingbirds in English due to the sound that their wings make when they beat; it’s a frequency audible to humans.

Due to the fact that they consume so much energy in their flying, they need to constantly visit flowers, hence the “flower-kisser” translation from Portuguese. The Old Farmer’s Almanac estimates that they visit over a thousand flowers a day.
