Information
The
average lifespan is about 3 years. Some live at least
twice that long. The record is 12 years. There are 300
different species of Hummingbird and they are attracted
by flowers like honeysuckle, petunias, nasturtiums,
and lilacs. Their Eggs incubate for 2-3 weeks before
hatching. The hummingbird's agility in flight lets it
move quickly from flower to flower like an insect. Although
it tends to feed from red flowers, at least thirty-one
different plants have flowers which attract the ruby-throated
hummingbird. They include honeysuckle, petunias, nasturtiums,
and lilacs.
