Normal for hummers to only stay at feeder for few Seconds?

Humming birds have a very high metabolism and are in constant motion, never resting anywhere, whether their wings are flapping or not. I have only seen a few humming birds who actually sat on a branch to rest as they are constantly flitting about. They are tiny birds, so they need only small amounts of food at once, but they use a lot of energy flapping their wings, so they frequently stop for just a few seconds to fuel up.

Make the water sweeter and they might stay longer. Add RED BULL and watch them fly sideways and go nuts.

Always experimenting...with beer they are looking for a couch and TV...and a game with the cat.

We have a feeder right outside our window. That is the norm with them. Our feeder had four holes. They will bop from one to the other. Staying 5 seconds or less at each

dont sound like it unless they just werent that hungry, ask the vet about it

Yeah, about 10 seconds max. Although they will make many trips.

Yes........ that's normal........... LOL

Do you know why hummingbirds hum? They don't know the words to the song.
