Hummingbirds go into a state called top or when they sleep. Hummingbirds usually go to sleep every night. When they wake, they consume 25% of their daily food intake.
Male hummingbirds have a territory and feeders within that territory belong to that male. Males will determine who gets to use the feeder. The male will "attack" any others by simply fly toward them and chasing them away and not let them return.

No. Grass is wind-pollinated and does not produce nectar, the food for hummingbirds.
Like all living things hummingbirds survive by getting the things they need. They need air, water, food, and shelter. Nectar and small bugs are their food and they find water to drink wherever they can. They make nests in tree which is their shelter.
food is in the nectar
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.
Like all living things hummingbirds need water, shelter, food, and air. For food they eat small insects and nectar. Nectar does not count as water. They need separate water to drink. They find shelter in trees where they make nests.
