Ruby-Throated Hummingbird interesting facts

Posted on 30th May 2011 by admin in Bird facts

The ruby-throated hummingbird of eastern North America visits birdfeeders and garden flowers in the summer and inhabits the forest. Like other hummingbirds, it is a small migrating bird that is able to hold its position accurately in hovering flight, like a helicopter. The animal exists on a diet of nectar, plus insects and spiders. The hummingbird’s nest is a small cup built from plant down and kept together with spider webs and lichen.

Scientists have not yet been able to explain how the ruby-throated hummingbird propels its tiny body on a nonstop, 500-mile flight from North America across the Gulf of Mexico to South America. Metabolic tests show that the bird is too small to store enough energy for the trip–but it does it in the fall and then returns in the spring.
