Best Answer

The mother hummingbird will drink nectar and eat bugs and then regurgitate the slurry substance the baby hummingbirds can digest. She will feed this mixture to the baby hummingbirds approximately every twenty (20) minutes. Baby hummingbirds cannot drink regular nectar as it does not contain enough protein to sustain them.

Their mother feeds them nectar and insects; she inserts her bill into that of a young bird and pumps the food into its gullet.
