Hummingbirds survive by consuming nectar, sap, and insects. Due to the incredible rate of a Hummingbird's metabolism, it will consume up to three times its body weight daily. It avoids predators by flying- its abilities to hover, fly backwards, and out-manoeuvre other birds serve as advantages against birds of prey, and as it only uses its feet for perching, neither walking nor hopping, it is unlikely to be a good target for ground-based predators.
