Hummingbirds

They are both birds

Male hummingbirds can beat their wings up to 200 times per second! It doesn't seem possible but it is. This species rotates their wings in a sideways figure 8 motion, this increaces their flight speed of 60 mph. Their wingspand is another secret to their flight speed.

hang them up too high for the raccoons to smell the sweet sweet nectar they crave so much!

Yes but only for a shot period of time, cockatiel food doesn't have the right kinds of nutrition a parakeet needs to function, also its much bigger and harder for the parakeet to eat it so it might cause weakness and lack of food to the parakeet, hope this is helpful to you!

The giant hummingbird is the largest species of hummingbird. The giant hummingbird weighs 0.63â??0.85 ounces and has a wingspan of up 8.5 inches.

The hummingbird has an extremely fast metabolism. It lives on the edge of survival. It has adapted in many ways. A hummingbirds has so sense of smell but a very keen eyesight. It can spot its food by seeing brightly colored flowers.These are the flowers that have co-evolved with the hummingbird. They have the high nectar count need by the hummingbird to survive. The hummingbird pays back the favor by pollinating these flowers. It has evolved to have a long beak.This makes it easy to access the nectar from these same brightly colored flowers which generally are tubular in shape. Another adaptation of the hummingbird is its tongue. It has a special forked tongue that allows it to get nectar. Flight is a marvelous adaptation of the hummingbird. It can fly forward, backward, upside down and hover in place. This allows the bird to get nectar from flowers. Hummingbirds also have a semi-hibernation state called Torpor. When weather is cold or there is a lack of food supply , hummingbird will go into torpor in order to stay alive.

make another source of water available to them, they really do not care about sugar, I am thinking it is the water they are after. A bird bath might remedy the situation.

The bigger a bird is, the bigger you-know-what is :)

Boil your water. Use 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar. A little more is ok too. No color is needed.

Because it's maybe the only color they see.

A hummingbird will only lay 1 to 2 tiny, pea sized white eggs. Three babies are too many for the female hummingbird to take care of.

they are a few bumble bees left because in the recent years many bees are becoming endangered, They are endangered because of us killing them with fly and bee spray, They are die after stinging someone. and the flower's are hard to get to in winter spring ect.

You know its a hummingbird because of the humming of their wings. Otherwise they make a chirping sound, like a normal bird.

Detritivores, also known as detritophages or detritus feeders or detritus eaters or saprophages, are heterotrophs that obtain nutrients by consuming detritus (decomposing plant and animal parts as well as organic fecal matter). Typical detritivorous animals include millipedes, woodlice, dung flies, slugs, many terrestrial worms, sea stars, sea cucumbers, fiddler crabs, and some sedentary polychaetes such as amphitrites (Amphitritinae, worms of the family terebellidae) and other terebellids.

A hummingbird is a vertebrate. All bird species are vertebrates because they all have a spine and a spinal cord.

Actually the answer is yes and no. No, they are not common, but yes there are hummingbirds that do get into eastern Canada and have been observed by birdwatchers: but the only kind of hummingbird you might see in Ontario (including Toronto) is the ruby-throated hummingbird, and again, this is not a common occurrence.

They do. I saw one several times in the summer of 2010 feeding at our lilies.

I can confirm this, I also spotted hummingbirds among the flowers in front of my house in Manchester New Hampshire around 1990 or so... John R. D.

Yes. As long as you don't disturb it. We had a nest on top of a windchime at the house we just bought, the humming bird came, re-built the nest and is now setting on 2 eggs aprox 12 more days till hatch ;)

I heard that if you put a banana skin near a hummingbird feeder that they will dine on the fruit flies.

No, they chirp to each other, and they use hearing to sense danger.

Hummingbirds will visit red flowers and yellow flowers with the same frequency.

Hummingbirds are one of the smallest birds on earth. They eat a nectar of sugar and water when fed by humans. Their heart rate is typically 50 to 180 beats although it can be as fast 1260 beats. The wings beat at a rate of 10 to 15 beats a second.

With he flowers they get the nectar from. The pollen off the flower gets on the hummingbird's wings and beck. By going from flower to flower, it's just helping the flower pollinate. The hummingbird gets helped also since it gets food from the flower.
