The bird of paradise is another bird. They don't have the same habitat.
The sort of flower a hummingbird pursues largely depends on the species of hummingbird. Each type has its own preferences and is also physically built for certain flowers. For example, the sicklebill hummingbird's beak is drastically curved downward, making it quite proficient at obtaining nectar from flowers in the family Gesneriaceae.
A Hummingbird is considered to be a specialist specie for a number or reasons. Firstly, the hummingbird is one of a few animals that eats mainly a large amount of flower nectar. Also, the hummingbird is the only specie of bird that can hover steadily and closely enough to the flowers in the highest and most dangerous positions. The Hummingbird has adapted a thin and long beak so that it is easy to extract all of the nectar from the flowers.
Commercial "hummingbird nectar" is essentially sugar water, with possibly some dye and flavoring/scent added. It shouldn't have any noticeable effect on a human, or at least no more effect than an equivalent amount of non-diet soda would.
They eat Nectar from flowers. Just like any other hummingbird would. They drink from a long straw like mouth.
The Hummingbirds might die...
sugar water and red food coloring It is not advised to give hummingbirds red food colouring. Though scientific research has not conclusively proven that food colourings cause harm to hummingbirds, the colouring is unnecessary, and could still expose the birds to harmful effects.
Most hummingbird food is simple some form of sugar and water. Unless you are diabetic you will likely be fine, though there could be a reaction if the hummingbird food has red food coloring and you are allergic to that.
they would die because it is a drink 4 the gods
you would run to a doctor because you'll feel sick and like you are going to blow up :)
You don't What idiot would want to harm a Hummingbird?
I would weigh it by ounces, seeing how the Hummingbird is so small.
What species? There are dozens of predator species and there are hummingbird species that inhabit the Americas from southern Canada to southern S America. Under the right circumstances almost any meat-eater or omnivore would make a meal of a hummingbird. In any one area/habitat, bird-specialist predatory birds are likely to be the most significant predator.
