 Directions: Read the following passage and answer the
questions that follow. Refer to the text to check your
answers when appropriate.
Have you ever heard the sound of a
hummingbird? They make a buzzing noise when they fly.
They make this noise because they beat their wings so
fast. They beat their wings up to 80 times a second. All
that flapping makes a lot of noise. That's why we call
them hummingbirds.
Hummingbirds fly in a unique way. They move
their wings so fast that they can hover. This means that
they can stay in one spot in the middle of the air, like a
helicopter. Sometimes they fly or hover upside down.
They are the only bird that flies backward.
Hummingbirds are small. One type called the bee
hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world. Bee
hummingbirds weigh less than a penny. They are just a
little bit bigger than bees. I guess that's where they get
their name.
Bee hummingbirds build tiny nests. They use
cobwebs and bits of bark to make their homes. Their
homes are only an inch around. This is big enough for
their eggs though. Their eggs are smaller than peas.
People have found these tiny nests on a clothespin.
Hummingbirds move fast. It takes lots of energy
to move as fast as they do. This means that they need to
eat a lot of food. Their favorite food is nectar, a sweet
liquid inside of some flowers. They drink more than their
own weight in nectar daily. They have to visit hundreds
of flowers to get enough nectar to live. They can only
store enough energy to survive through the night. They
live on the edge.
Hummingbirds don't use their long beaks like
straws. They have a tongue just like you. They use their
tongues for eating. They flick their tongues in and out of
their mouths while inside of flowers. They lap up nectar.
Flowers give them the energy that they need.
Hummingbirds help flowers too. They get pollen
on their heads and bills when they feed. Flowers use
pollen to make seeds. Hummingbirds help pollen get
from one flower to the next. This helps flowers make
more seeds. More seeds mean more flowers. More
flowers mean more food for hummingbirds. Isn't it nice
how that works out?
