Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds do not hibernate. They fly south. There are enough flowers there to provide enough nectar to keep an adult bird alive. Some spend the winter in Florida. Some go to the Yucatan. They have to fly north in the summer where the flowers produce enough nectar for both themselves and to provide for their children.

Newborn birds typically eat every 15-30 minutes during daylight hours. They need frequent feedings to support their rapid growth and energy needs. It is important to feed them regularly to ensure their proper development and health.

While a hummingbird is sipping nectar from a plant, it is also cross pollinating the plant as it passes from flower to flower.

Bees can be a big problem in some parts of the country. Please do NOT use any type of oil because if the hummingbirds brush against it the oil will get on their feathers and can cause health issues. You must start with a feeder that is specifically designed and advertised to be bee-proof. Then take care when making nectar to not make it too sweet. For hummingbirds a 4-1 ratio is good, too sweet will attract more bees than birds. Then after hanging clean off drips or spills, I like to spray them off with water from a spray bottle. Any little drip or spill will attract some bees. That should do it, but if not, hang another feeder nearby (not too close) containing a much sweeter mixture and the bees will move to that feeder leaving yours to the birds.

Falcons are much faster than hummingbirds, they seem really fast because of their small size.

Not sure what you mean by that, but birds do fly.

You are most likely using the wrong type of feeder or food. Check the freshness of your food. Dry, musty food isn't as appealing to birds. Make sure the seed blend you are using is a good mix of milllet, corn, sunflower, and some brands add nuts. Different birds eat different foods, so this is good for attracting a variety of species. Next is the actual feeder. A hopper-style feeder is attractive to mockingbirds and jays. Bigger birds. A tube-style feeder attracts small songbirds. Birds like doves and robins aren't very acrobatic, and get their food on the ground. Set seed or scraps on the ground for them, or on a open-style table feeder. Suet feeders attract woodpeckers, nutthatches, and chickadees.

For a good variety of birds, get a tube feeder and a suet feeder, and set food on the ground. Put up a hummingbird feeder if you want. Use a good all-purpose brand like Morning Song Year-Round Wild Bird Seed. Make sure your feeder is in an accesible spot, with no bushes around it. This is cover for cats. If you still have problems, a birding supply store or garden supply may be able to help you.

yes!

Their bones are hollow which makes the bird light. With its lightness it is able to fly.

No. But humming birds have to eat every few minutes or they will get tired and can't fly.

Hawks, foxes, coyotes, cats, etc. Generally, though, hummingbirds are so fast and so small that they're pretty hard to catch, except if they're sitting down on a little branch.
