All hummingbirds eat nectar from flowering plants; they need the high energy food to power their extremely fast metabolism. In addition, they eat small bugs for the protein content they provide. Calories obtained from nectar and sugar-water from hummingbird feeders is used to power the hummingbirds. If you are going to set up a hummingbird feeder, do not use sugar water with dye as the dye is bad for the birds and the sugar water is nutritionally incomplete, like food without vitamins, minerals, or amino acids. By the same token, do not use dehydrated beverage mixtures, like Kool-Aid, either. Do buy the hummingbird mixture from the store. Even though it may go bad sooner, it is much healthier for the birds. But not only do they eat nectar the eat small insects and Spiders. But hummers need more than just sugar to survive. They also need protein. That's why they eat small bugs inside flowers, and sometimes pick bugs out of spider webs for food. In early spring, before the flowers bloom, hummers will follow Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. These woodpeckers peck holes in trees to get sap. The hummer can lick the sap and eat the bugs around these holes!
