Come cerca cibo

Primarily nectarivorous, using their long, extensible, and bifurcated tongues to lap up nectar from flowers while hovering. They are important pollinators. They also consume small insects and spiders, which provide essential protein, especially for growing chicks. They are opportunistic feeders and will visit hummingbird feeders containing sugar water.

Quando si nutre

Diurnal, most active during daylight hours, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when flowers produce the most nectar. They enter a state of torpor at night or during cold periods to conserve energy.
