Tiny Hummingbird Outshines Hawks in Fierce Feuds
August P. Abendroth, St. Louis birds supervisor, says hummingbirds are the most vicious feathered species. They fight to death at feeding grounds, fly at 250 miles per hour, beat 600 times a minute, and must eat four times their weight daily. In the wild they guard nectar plants, while in captivity their spheres of influence persist. Life span averages around a year and a half, with 100 species known and zoos paying 20 to 30 dollars per bird.
