Hummingbirds mostly eat flower nectar. They may visit 1,000 flowers per day in their search for nectar. Hummingbirds come in many colors. There are blue, yellow, green, red and orange hummingbirds. One of there enemies is the Praying Mantis and another one is most likely wild animals like snakes, cats or sometimes dogs.
Other predators of the hummingbird are hawks, kestrels, tropical spiders, large fishes and frogs. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird beak is about 1 inch long. A Sword-billed Hummingbird has a beak that's 3 inches long. If you try to ketch one, it will peck you. Though they are pretty to look at. Depending on the species, hummingbirds can flap their wings anywhere from 40-80 times in one second, with the fastest being 90. During courtship, wing speed will increase further--even up to 200 times per second. A hummingbird's feet help them grip on branches and perch. Their feet are not made for balancing in the air or walking. I like hummingbirds. Most hummingbirds live in South America. Overs live in Alaska, and Chile. No matter if its a fat hummingbird, a little hummingbird, or a skinny hummingbird, I like them. You should too. Ashleigh

Some starfish species are herbivores some are not. The ones that are not herbivores eat mussels, clams, and oysters. The ones that are herbivores eat plants. Starfish are found in the Pacific ocean. Starfish (also known as sea stars) are usually located in the shallows. Both male and female starfish exist.
They breed by releasing eggs and sperm into the water. Starfish do not have gills, scales, or fins like fish do and they move quite differently from fish. While fish propel themselves with their tails, sea stars have tiny tube feet to help them move along. Starfish sometimes gather in groups. All starfish have shells. They eat at the central disc. Starfish do not have sharp teeth. Starfish can also be found in reefs. Starfish breathe though their feet. Starfish have tiny bumps all over their bodies. The Crown of Thorns starfish, the sun star starfish, the spiny sun starfish and the leather starfish are all poisonous. So far, the Crown of Thorns starfish is the most poisonous of these. Sea otters, manta rays, sharks, and seagulls eat starfish. I like starfish. There are blue starfish, red starfish, purple starfish, orange starfish, black starfish, green starfish, pink starfish, and lots more. Ashleigh Some starfish species are herbivores some are not.
