text: If a hummingbird needs to conserve energy, it becomes torpid at night.
text: Hummingbirds become torpid not only to deal with fuel crises, but also to save energy for migration.
text: To keep up its energy the hummingbird feeds 5 to 8 times an hour.
text: To meet this energetic challenge, hummingbirds save enough energy to survive cold nights by lowering their internal thermostat at night, becoming hypothermic.
text: Each night hummingbirds enter hibernation-like state called torpor which helps them preserve the energy.
text: At times, hummingbirds and you need to conserve energy.
text: Torpor is a hibernation-like state that the hummingbird can enter to help conserve energy.
text: Also to conserve energy, hummingbirds may even stop breathing for periods of time.
text: The hummingbird will grasp the branch with its feet and go into a state of torpor to help conserve energy while it sleeps.
text: When they are low on fuel, they can go into “torpor” to conserve energy.
text: They can enter a state of torpor when at rest, particularly at night, to conserve energy without constant feeding.
text: To conserve energy overnight a hummingbird enters a hibernation-like sleep state called torpor.
text: To conserve energy when food is scarce, they have the ability to go into a hibernation-like state (torpor) where their metabolic rate is slowed to 1/15th of its normal rate.
text: Hummingbirds can easily enter torpor on cold nights, however, which allows them to conserve energy to survive lower temperatures when food is not as readily available.
