Tiny Creatures with BIG appetites!
If hummingbirds were your size, they would eat about 77 times as much you do!

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.

Notice the pollen that sticks
to the hummingbird's beak.
It will rub off on the
next flower the bird visits.
