How do hummingbirds hybornate?

Hummingbirds breath through their mouth (beak) just like we do. They do have any gills or anything else that I know of. =)


What plants do hummingbirds feed on on long island?

Hummingbirds like honeysuckle, trumpet vine, butterfly bushes, petunias, obedient plant and bee balm BUT if you want hummingbirds right away, go to the garden center and buy "Black and Blue Salvia" (salvia guarantica). It is an annual which you cannot grow from seed. You have heard hummingbirds like the color red, but this plant's florets are deep, dark blue and it is a HUMMINGBIRD MAGNET. My hummingbirds (I'm on eastern Long Island) first check my pink lemonade honeysuckle which I have trained to grow up the sides of my porch, then they go straight for the black and blue salvia in my garden. It takes a few years for honeysuckle to grow tall enough to attract hummingbirds, so the salvia is instant gratification. Place in a sunny spot and water it well. They will even come to planters on my back porch with Black and Blue Salvia planted in them. Quick growing, easy annual vines - morning glory, cardinal flower and cypress vine -- also attract them. I start a few vines from seed (buy at Target, Home Dept, Walmart, Kmart, etc) in a small Jiffy greenhouse in spring inside my home, place wooden BBQ skewers in the jiffy pots once the seeds sprout (for the vines to climb on) and plant them outdoors after May 15. If you want to set out a hummingbird feeder, get one that has perches on it so you can see the hummers. Hummingbirds are lightning quick, so one can come to your feeder and buzz off before you even know it, but if you have perches on your feeder, they will sit for a bit. I have found them keeping dry by perching on my honeysuckle vine just under my porch roof when it is raining outside. I watch them out my window as they preen themselves and watch the rain. When they sit on the vine, they are almost completely camoflaged and they relax. They are something else. Keep in mind you will not have flocks of hummingbirds coming to your flowers or feeders. They are loners and are territorial. They feed one at a time and sometimes a male will stake out a feeder as his own and chase off any other hummingbird that comes near it. It's just how they are. The most activity you will see at your feeder is in July and August, when they are tanking up to migrate south. But keep your feeder up until the end of September for stragglers. You have to keep the feeders clean and stocked with fresh sugar water (which you can make yourself from ordinary table sugar) in hot weather. I have two feeders so that as I take one down to take in and wash, I immediately put up the other one, all cleaned and filled with fresh sugar water.

Rabbit diets - Sugar levels?

Sugar can have very negative impact on rabbits GI systems, leading to excess ceceals and other more serious issues such as GI Stasis. Rabbits should have only very limited access to high sugar foods. Rabbits are also very prone to weight gain, and excess sugar will have an impact in this area also! Foods that are high in sugars include some surprising items, such as Carrots which should only be given in very limited amounts. Also the more obvious sugary treats such as fruits, Yogurt drops etc which should be avoided. As hard as it come sometimes be the kindest thing you can do for your bunny is stick to a strict diet. Limited Pellets, Water, Greens and Other Veg, Unlimited Hay. Nothing else is needed. As much as rabbits love sweet treats in the long run it will only harm them.

Does sugar dissolve quicker in tap water than salt water?

Yes- this is because tap water is largely already unsaturated, making the sugar easier to dissolve. Salt water already has had salt dissolved into it, therefore making the water dissolve sugar more easily when it has had nothing else saturated into it. Hope that this helps! X


How do the melting and boiling points of water differ from those of a sugar-water solution?

Water, regardless of what else it contains, is already melted. Water becomes solid at 32 degrees F -- a little colder, depending on the salt or sugar content; it becomes a vapour at 212 degrees F, again depending on its other mineral content, plus the altitude at which the water is boiled.


Can something else melt ice instead of salt and sugar?
