What features of hummingbird make it adapted for its style of feeding?
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.
What species? As a rule of thumb, if they make it through their first year, they will probably live several years. Potential life-span would be a few tens of years.
Why does heron have pointy long beak to catch fish?
Long necks help birds in wetlands see possible predators. They may be in areas of reeds where sight is difficult.
What kind of fish do heron eat?
The diet of the heron is fairly consistent across the heron species. That constancy consists largely of items upon which one might expect an omnivorous wading bird choosing to dine. Fish and frogs are mainstays, staples. To spice up their meals, and possibly their lives, various Ardeidae family members--the herons, egrets, the bitterns--occasionally also masticate on whatever chewy sea life wanders into their unfortunate way (crayfish, crabs, things of this nature). The more land-dwelling also chow down on insects; the less discriminating, perhaps, will eat a rabbit. But I do not like to think about it.
Well erget comes from the latin root that means to eat vegetables so I am pretty sure. yeah. Hope i helped with my knowlege of latin roots also called birds

Cattle egret and a cow is their relationship mutualism?
The only relationship between a Cattle Egret and grazing animals is that the Egret will remove fleas and ticks from cattle. It will also follow other grazing animals as they eat, picking the insects that they stir up while they graze.
There are a lot of animals that eat this type of animal and as you know the life cycle something will eat one thing to stay alive. An egret is a bird and very small so would be eaten by larger birds and animals, such as the owl and other larger animals.
I hope this has helped you!
Is an heron taller than an egret?
The Great Blue Heron is better!
There are 3 blue colored Herons in the Eastern US. The "Great Blue Heron","Little Blue Heron", and the "Tri-Colored Heron". The Little Blue is the bluest of these while the Great Blue is the largest and by far the most common.
Are there great white herons in NY?
No. The great white heron is found only in south Florida, and the Florida keys. Not a true species, just a local color morph of the great blue heron.
The somewhat smaller great egret may wander to New York on occasion however.
Is the great blue heron indangered?
Yes, it is. It's native environment is being destroyed, effecting it's life, concluding it to death. No. They are a color morph of the great blue heron, found only in south Florida.They are still quite common.
Do great blue herons eat snakes?
Yes. The great blue heron's diet is very vast and is composed of these animals: small fish, shrimps, crabs, aquatic insects, rodents, small mammals, amphibians, other reptiles and even other birds.
"Bioconcentration" of pesticides in birds high on food chains occurs not only because there is usually reduced biomass at each step in those chains, but also because predatory birds tend to live a long time. They may take in only a little DDT per day, but they keep most of what they get, and they live many days.
The insidious aspect of this phenomenon is that large concentrations of chlorinated hydrocarbons do not usually kill the bird outright. Rather, DDT and its relatives alter the bird's calcium metabolism in a way that results in thin eggshells. Instead of eggs, heavily DDT-infested Brown Pelicans and Bald Eagles tend to find omelets in their nests, since the eggshells are unable to support the weight of the incubating bird.
Shell-thinning resulted in the decimation of the Brown Pelican populations in much of North America and the extermination the Peregrine Falcon in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Shell-thinning caused lesser declines in populations of Golden and Bald Eagles and White Pelicans, among others. Similar declines took place in the British Isles. Fortunately, the cause of the breeding failures was identified in time, and the use of DDT was banned almost totally in the United States in 1972.
What color is a great blue herons babies?
When Great Blue Harons hatch they are a dull gray color. This privdes them with camoflauge until they are old enough to hunt.
What do Heron Birds look like?
The Black Crowned Night Heron is described as a stocky heron, that is basically black on the head and back, gray on the sides and fades to white below.
Ok, If you can find worms, that would be a miracle. If you will try to, or already have, feed it to the bird its very good for it. Um, go to your local pet store, get some baby bird formula there, most brands work for about every baby bird there is depending on what brand you get. If, cannot do so, contact someone for help by the phone, or through the internet. Look on the internet, hard. Everything you can possibly imagine is on the internet. Good luck (:
