They are called hummingbirds because when they fly, their wings often make a humming sound. The average life span of a hummingbird is 3 years. Many hummingbirds migrate to find food during the cold winter. Hummingbirds are native to the Americas.
Hummingbirds are almost helpless on the ground.
Hummingbirds sip sweet nectar from flowers and eat some tiny bugs. They use their long tongue to lap up nectar. Many animals prey upon hummingbirds, including many other birds, like orioles , roadrunners, hawks, and flycatchers. Hummingbirds can also die when they are caught in spider webs.
