The hummingbird that favors chaste tree nectar is the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia tzacatl). This species is particularly attracted to the flowers of the chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) due to its rich nectar. The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is commonly found in Central America and is known for its vibrant plumage and energetic feeding behavior. Its preference for chaste tree nectar highlights the importance of this plant in supporting local wildlife.
Calliope hummingbirds eat flower nectar, tree sap, and insects.
To get nectar from a flower, a hummingbird first inserts its long bill and/or tongue into the blossom. Its specially adapted tongue is folded into paired troughs or partial tubes and draws nectar into its mouth by capillary action. Hummingbirds also eat large quantities of insects and other invertebrates, tree sap, the honeydew from aphids and scale insects, and occasionally fruit juices as well as flower nectar.
