Regardless of which migration route they take, hummingbirds will take the same path that was imprinted the first year that they flew. And they fly alone. Young hummingbirds do not follow their parents and they do not fly in flocks.
You can, but it's better to have them several feet apart.
Pigeons and hummingbirds share the same kind of magnetic system. On a cloudy day, the clouds block the magnetic fields from reaching their body. Therefore, their magnetic sense is distorted and the bird becomes confused, and therefore, lost.
The standard answer used to be to take down the feeders after Labor Day to encourage your little guests to move on...but that actually isn't a good idea, because you will want to not only give your own backyard hummingbirds a final shot of calories/energy before they leave your vicinity, but also help migrating hummingbirds from more northern locales who make a stop in your area before moving on. Migration is triggered by the shorter days; it creates hormonal changes in the hummingbirds prompting them to fly south; the presence of your hummingbird feeder isn't going to override that call of nature. So -- short answer -- keep your feeder filled with nectar for about two weeks after your own local hummers leave; that will ensure that late travelers through your area can get refueled en route to the South.
Hummingbirds will visit red flowers and yellow flowers with the same frequency.
No, they do not share the same geographical environment. Hummingbird moths live in Europe, Asia and parts of Africa, whilst hummingbirds live exclusively in the Americas.
No there not same
It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.
feeder fishing is when you can use bait inside your feeder as well as ground bait method feeder is much better for bait placement and you don't put particles in your ground bait because its designed for just ground bait or softend pellets.
Most suckerfish get too big, but an apple snail (same as a mystery snail) or some ramshore snails are awesome.
I'm not quite sure, but if your wondering what color hummingbirds heads are it really depends on the type of hummingbird. If your looking for a specifif kind, as far as I know, all hummingbird heads are not the same color
Yes. They are called Sun birds there. No, there are no true Hummingbirds. The nectar feeding ecological niche is filled by a group of birds known as Sunbirds, which are larger than hummingbirds, but they share the ability to hover while sipping nectar from a flower (and pollinating it at the same time)
