Hummingbirds

The simple answer is food. Putting out a bird feeder and putting in sunflower seeds or mixed seed from the store should attract wild birds. Woodpeckers and nuthatches really like suet cakes that you can purchase at the store. Finches are attracted to thistle seed.

It helps to make your own homemade food as compared to store bought food. Mix it yourself with just sugar and water. Use four cups water with one cup sugar, boiled together and allowed to cool. Then fill your feeder(s) and refrigerate the rest. Do not use red food dye as this is bad for the birds. The feeders have enough red on them.

Yes, very much so. Have you ever seen hummingbirds chasing each other away from feeders? This shows that they are protecting or fighting for a territory.

Hummingbirds are found only in the Western Hemisphere, from southeastern Alaska to southern Chile, although most live in the tropics. There are more than 300 species of hummingbirds, 12 of which summer in North America and winter in tropical areas.

A Hummingbird drinks nectar, not pollen. As for how much nectar one drinks per day, I believe it is equal to (or more than) the Hummingbird's body weight.

The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird to breed East of the Mississippi River. However, the Rufous hummingbird is a migrant (meaning that it occasionally) ventures out of its territory. So the Rufous has been spotted in Pennsylvania rarely.

The Ruby-throated hummingbird is easy to identify. The iridescent feathers on the neck(gorget) of the male Ruby-throated are ruby colored in sunlight.

Ability to hover. Long narrow tubular beak and tongue to lap nectar or syrup. Ability to fly backward. Ability to return to the same yard year after year. Ability to recognize people. Strongly defend their feeder. Ability to raise young in really tiny nests.

In some peoples culture mean its the spirit or soul of the person that died is in that particular bird so therefore hes going be watching over you.

Swallows? Swallows?

Some birds are: Magpie, crow, cockatoo, parrot, peacock, robin, hummingbird, swan, raven, swallow, duck, eagle, falcon, hawk, rosella, kookaburra, kingfisher, currawong, lorikeet, woodpecker, wagtail, turkey, chicken, hen, rooster, ostrich, owl, emu, vulture, osprey, albatross, seagull, catbird, cassowary, egret,

If a hummingbird comes up to a person and tries to get their attention, it may be due to the person wearing bright clothing or wearing a flowery perfume. The person should feel free to consider it a sign of good luck.

They "hitchhike" on geese to the south for winter, then "hitchhike" back for the warmer months

If you live in the northern hemisphere it means that the weather is warm enough for them to have migrated north from their wintering grounds. They will be feeding and building nests in preparation for mating. Hummingbirds that have become accustomed to being fed by humans with feeders will often hover at people's windows looking for food.

They can vary but in general two of the main materials are downy fibers and spider silk, (spider webs). During the egg cycle, a penny can basically fill the nest and the two eggs are smaller. When the two you g are born, they fill the nest. As far as I know, they do not lay more than two eggs at once.

There is no state with the hummingbird as its state bird.

Moths flap their wings wildly when they feel threatened. It is a defense mechanism.

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards, sideways and hover in place. They are able to do this by rotating their winges in a circle. To hover they rotate their wings in a figue eight patern much like a swimme treading water.
It is able to rotate its wings in a figure of eight movement that allows it to fly forwards and backwards and to hover.

Nothing really, except he might not be getting the right nutrition. Some bird seeds are heavy on things like thistle or sunflower to attract a certain kind of bird. Too much of those seeds would be bad for most tame birds. There are three categories of food for pet birds: seed, pellets, and people food. My birds won't eat pellets so they get seed and people food. If you eat well, easy on the meat and a good amount of fruits and veggies, your bird can eat what you eat with a little seed on the side.

Never, they need twice their body weight in nectar to survive. If not, they will die.

-------------------------------------------------

If you live in an area where hummingbirds migrate south for the winter you should keep the feeders out until nectar is no longer being taken and make sure that the feeders are out early in the spring to catch the first arrivals for the next summer.... basically the first answer is correct if you live in a country where humming birds are present all year.
