I wondered why they would hover alot to feed rather then land on the rest. They're amazing little things built for flight. (I guess that's why I have so much useless trivia about them.)
Muscles weigh a lot, and hummers consume between 6 and 12 THOUSAND calories a day as it is.
It would be like one of us having to eat a whole cow every day!

Drat, I was going to guess, they cannot walk. That was fun. It got me on line reading about them too.
