In Peruvian mythology, the hummingbird symbolizes love, joy and beauty. It is also associated with life and immortality. In some traditions, hummingbirds are regarded as the souls of the deceased who return to be with their loved ones.

In addition, the hummingbird is often seen as a symbol of the ability to move quickly and gracefully, making it a symbol of freedom and the ability to rise above obstacles.
