As hummingbirds are excellent fliers, nearly all predators of them are ambush predators.

One of them is the Praying Mantis (surprisingly) and another one is most likely wild animals like snakes, cat or sometimes dogs.

Other predators of the hummingbird are hawks, kestrels, tropical Spiders, large fishes and frogs. Hazards for the hummingbird are bad sugar mixes, storms, spider webs, windows and lack of flower growth because of bad weather.
