Nectar Feeding: Hummingbirds are primarily nectarivorous, meaning they feed on the sugary nectar produced by flowers. T
High Metabolic Rate: Hummingbirds have one of the highest metabolic rates of any animal, requiring them to consume large amounts of nectar daily to sustain their energy needs
Hover-feeding: Hummingbirds are adept hover-feeders, capable of maintaining a stable position in mid-air while inserting their beaks into flowers
Territoriality: Hummingbirds are often territorial around feeding resources, vigorously defending patches of flowers or feeding stations
Supplemental Feeding: In addition to nectar, hummingbirds may supplement their diet with small insects and spiders.
Flower Selection: Hummingbirds exhibit preferences for certain types of flowers based on factors such as color, shape, and nectar concentration.
Feeding Strategy: Hummingbirds employ a "trap-lining" strategy where they visit a circuit of nectar sources (flowers or feeders) in a specific sequence.
