Fueling the Fire: The High-Energy Diet of Anna’s Hummingbirds | Ep. 4

If a human had the metabolism of a hummingbird, they’d have to eat about 150,000 calories a day to survive! In this episode, we look at how these tiny birds find enough fuel to power their 50-wingbeats-per-second lifestyle. While we often think of them as "nectar drinkers," that’s only half the story. To get the protein they need—especially when raising those "coffee-bean" chicks we saw in Episode 1—they have to be expert hunters. In this episode, you’ll see: Nectar vs. Insects: Watch as they move from the backyard feeder to the air, snatching gnats and midges right out of the sky.
