Does a hummingbird ever land?
Yes, hummingbirds land when they perch. After a meal of nectar, a hummingbird will perch. Hummingbirds store their food in a pouch at the base of their throat. This pouch is called a crop. While they are perching this food is moving from the crop to the stomach for digestion. It only takes hummingbirds about 10 minutes to digest their food. Hummingbirds do not walk or hop like other birds though.
How do hummingbirds get catch their food?
Hummingbirds catch their food, mostly nectar from flowers, by hovering in front of the flower and using their long, specialized beaks and tongues to extract the nectar. They also catch insects in mid-air using their agility and speed to snatch them out of the air.

Poinsettias are not harmful to hummingbirds. While the sap of the plant can be mildly toxic to some pets if ingested in large quantities, it does not pose a threat to hummingbirds. These birds are primarily attracted to nectar-producing flowers, and poinsettias do not provide nectar. Therefore, they are unlikely to be a significant food source for hummingbirds.
