This is due to the fact that baby hummingbirds cannot fly and must spend the first three weeks of their life in the nest. Humans will still have plenty of opportunities to see the adult birds, however, as they need to eat seven times every hour, on average, with each feeding lasting between 30 and 60 seconds.
"When purchasing bird feeder gifts or a feeder for personal use, consider buying one that contains the color red, as this is the hummingbird's favorite color, according to WorldofHummingbirds.com. The Grateful Gnome hummingbird feeder made of hand blown glass features a white globe with painted flower branches and a red base, making it the perfect choice for those who wish to see these animals up close. Be sure to check this feeder out today, as you'll want to purchase one for yourself and one or more for gifts for those you love, so all can enjoy the beauty of these tiny creatures," Goldhammer
