Hummingbirds

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.

a chick is what i have herd and lots of people have told me that they are called chicks so unless you need a very specific name chick will do hope i could help you can also find lots of info on hummingbirds just off of google!

the hummingbird has a special type of beak like a straw to suck nectar out of a flowers.

Cardinal. :)

hummingbirds usually don't live in hot continents like Asia, Africa, etc. They live in north America

Mostly with other hummingbirds. Very few other birds drink nectar from feeders. Because of this they don'y need to compete with other types of birds.

toucans beaks are 7 to 9 inches in lenght making it easy to eat foods such as spider lizards and snakes!!

the typical hummingbird nest is about 1 1/2".

a dragonfly beats its wings 30 beats per second

Humming birds aren't good as pets because they hum through Soaps, Cartoons etc. They also have a talent, Red things attract them automatically so if you were planning on getting one...

The world's smallest bird is the Bee Humingbird.

In many birds the males have more beautiful colors than females because the females don't need them. The males use them to scare off other males and to attract females. The females don't need them for anything.

They drink nectar from all sorts of flowers, here's little list of some flowers that attract them:

Abelia, Bluebell of Scotland, Blue Hill Sage, Bottlebrush, Bougainvillea, Butterfly bush, Cosmos, Cotoneaster, Cypress Vine, Dwarf Yarrow, Eucalyptus, Evening Primrose, Flame Vine, Flowering Quince, Gold Plate Yarrow, Honeysuckle, Hummingbird bush, Lantana, Meadow Sage, Mimosa Tree, Morning Glories, Nasturtium, Rosary Vine, Sage, Salal, Strawberry Tree, Verbena, Wild Lilac, Woolly Yarrow, and Yarrow.

These colors also attract hummingbirds: Red, orange, white, purple, pink, and blue, so if you are wearing one of these colors outside don't be surprised if a hummingbird comes to see if there is any flowers to drink from on your shirt.

Other plants are: Perennials, vines, shrubs, trees, bedding plants, and hanging plants.

roses and daises

They don't eat flowers. They just drink nectar from them.

A sanctuary is the most holy part of a religious building such as a church or temple, and in times past, people being hunted could claim safety there from arrest or killing. Likewise, a bird sanctuary is a place of safety for birds.
