Hummingbirds eat lots and lots of of nectar; the sugary juice made by plants. Hummingbirds have beaks that make it very easy to get nectar from flowers wih a trumpet shape. They have a long slim beak that fits down the long throat of many trumpet shaped flowers. The wings of the hummigbirds move VERY fast and help them move like a helicopter to get around with great precision. |
