Were does hummingbirds find there food?
Hummingbirds live on the edge of survival have an extremely fast metabolism and need all day long to stay alive. They eat the nectar from flowers that have co-evolved with them and from the hummingbird feeders we supply. Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but very keen vision are attracted to brightly colored flowers because these are the flowers that have co-evolved with them and have the high nectar they need. Also, hummingbird feeders are usually red to attract them as they travel on their migrations. People also hang red ribbons on their feeders to initially attract the birds. Hummingbirds are very smart.They have the largest brain of any bird when you consider size. So they remember and return to the same feeders each year. Hummingbirds also eat insects for protein.

I expect to see hummingbirds about the time our Columbine begins to bloom. (We live in central Indiana.)

We also plant flowers which hummers like near the feeders and around the yard. There has been an increase in numbers every year over the past several years.
