Lucifer Hummingbird The Lucifer Hummingbird, a medium-sized member of the hummingbird family, has a distinctly decurved bill.
Their numbers in any area correspond directly to rainfall and flowering times of desert plants. Due to their high metabolism, they must eat constantly, feasting on nectar and insects, giving them energy for flapping their wings at incredible speeds.
| Nesting Habits of the Lucifer Hummingbird
The Lucifer Hummingbird generally breeds late in the year during dry seasons and often produces two broods during rainy years. To begin the courtship, males perch atop plants and launch into a dramatic aerial display to court females.
