To my surprise hummingbirds do just sit around and allow themselves to be photographed or just admired.
Scale Throated Hermit Hummingbird attracted to flower coated in sugar syrup. Hummers have possibly the highest of all metabolisms so that the sugar water is a food source, but not nutrient rich. The birds have to supplement their diets with insects.
The White Throated Hummingbird is found in forests, parks, woodlands and gardens in North Eastern Argentina, South Eastern Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay and is not considered endangered. It is quite an athlete and acrobat.
