How do hummingbirds live?

Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds found primarily in the Americas, particularly in North, Central, and South America. They are well known for their ability to hover in place by rapidly flapping their wings in a figure-eight motion. Hummingbirds feed primarily on nectar from flowers, using their long, specialized bills to access the nectar. They also consume small insects and spiders for protein. Hummingbirds have extremely high metabolic rates, requiring them to feed frequently, consuming up to twice their body weight in nectar each day. They are solitary creatures and migrate long distances between breeding and feeding grounds. Hummingbirds reproduce sexually, with females building nests from plant fibers and spider silk, where they lay 1-3 eggs. After hatching, the mother cares for the chicks until they are ready to fend for themselves.
