In nature:




Hummingbirds are unique. They are new world birds. They can hover and fly backward. They live long, up to 14 years. The males put on dramatic displays of flight and singing. The hummingbird has the highest metabolic rate of any vertebrate and the highest heart rate of any bird. They are finicky eaters because they need high energy foods. In order to get the most energy from their nectar collection they test each flower and upon determining the one with the highest sugar content will return to it preferentially. Areas containing flowers with high energy nectar are sought after and fought aggressively for.
