WHAT HUMMINGBIRDS EAT Hummingbirds are well known for sipping nectar with their barbed tongues, licking 10-15 times per second, but they actually eat many things. When there isn’t enough nectar, hummingbirds will lick at sap or fruit juices. They also eat small insects, insect eggs, and spiders, which provide critical protein and minerals for healthy growth. Hummingbirds even ingest some pollen from flowers they visit.

MORE FUN HUMMINGBIRD FACTS There is even more crazy trivia to learn about hummingbirds! • A hummingbird’s colored throat isn’t colored at all – the color comes from feather structure and light reflections. The viewing angle, light level, and feather wear and tear all impact what color the throat appears. • Hummingbirds’ feet are so tiny these birds cannot walk, though they hop and perch easily. Smaller feet help hummingbirds be lighter and more aerodynamic for faster, more efficient flight.
