What are the benefits of using a hummingbird feeder with perch for attracting and feeding hummingbirds?
Using a hummingbird feeder with a perch can attract and feed hummingbirds more effectively. The perch allows hummingbirds to rest while feeding, reducing their energy expenditure. This can attract more hummingbirds to the feeder and provide them with a convenient and comfortable feeding spot. Additionally, the perch can make it easier for you to observe and enjoy watching the hummingbirds up close.

Does a hummingbird ever land?
Yes, hummingbirds land when they perch. After a meal of nectar, a hummingbird will perch. Hummingbirds store their food in a pouch at the base of their throat. This pouch is called a crop.

Hummingbirds do not walk or hop like other birds though.
