It eats nectar from flowers. Hummers have a fast breathing rate, a fast heartbeat, and a high body temperature. They must feed every 10 minutes or so all day, and they may consume 2/3 of their body weight in a single day.A major part of a hummingbird's diet is sugar. They get it from flower nectar and tree sap. Hummers also need protein in order to build muscles, so they eat insects and pollen. The tongue of a hummingbird has grooves on the side, which are used to catch insects in the air--also from leaves and spider webs.
