Last August we published a method of estimating the number of Hummingbirds you feed based on the amount of nectar disappearing from your feeders. The method we suggested came from a book about hummingbirds by Dan True who, in turn, based his methodology on a 1973 scientific study.
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. While they are perching this food is moving from the crop to the stomach for digestion. It only takes hummingbirds about 10 minutes to digest their food. Hummingbirds do not walk or hop like other birds though.
