Allen’s hummingbird — size comparison — facts and sources

Allen’s hummingbird inhabits coastal scrub and open woodland. It eats nectar and small insects. Both sexes defend nectar sources.

Courtship includes pendulum-like flights and steep dives. Pulling out of a dive, males produce sound with tail feathers. Females build nests from fibres and spider silk, sometimes placing a new nest on an older remnant.
