A hummingbird can lick 10-15 times per second while feeding. Hummingbirds digest natural sucrose - the sugar found in floral nectar.

I love watching these little magical creatures and am always amazed at their size and how they chase each other. First of all the reflection on the clear nectar is beautiful. Then the little fellow with that tongue dipping in for a drink is perfectly timed. Its colors are gorgeous and I thank you for the tid bit of information about our little friend. Beautiful look Candace.
