2020-10-03 | Squee alert: A hummingbird feeds its teeny-tiny chicks | Boing Boing

'While the size and weight of a baby hummingbird will vary with the species, chicks are about one inch long, and weigh about .62 grams when born. '

'Oh my goodness, baby hummingbirds are so incredibly small and darling. '

'Chicks need to eat every 20 minutes and the energy it takes to keep herself and her babies fed can take its toll. '

'I had no idea.…Their eggs are only about the size of a coffee bean, while the nest of a ruby-throated hummingbird is about the size of half a walnut shell. '

'That they eat mosquitoes, gnats, and aphids is a great reason to try to attract hummingbirds to your backyard. '
