Around this time of the year, hummingbirds were rarely seen, while flowers continued to be visited by insects.
In addition, hummingbirds were associated with love and lovemaking.
However, the most common motif by far on the picks-and the only motif to appear on provenienced picks-is avian, and most frequently a hummingbird.
The same procedure was used to calculate the similarity of the hummingbird species according to the bromeliads used by each species.
However, we observed that hummingbirds with much shorter bills were also able to extract nectar and pollinate the flowers.
There is a morphological correspondence between the length of hummingbird bills and the length of the corollas in ornithophilous flowers.
We performed two censuses per monthly field trip to estimate hummingbird abundance.
Both sing (the hummingbird adds a courtship dance), defend territories and mates, raise young, and migrate seasonally for long distances.
