Violet-crowned Hummingbird — size comparison — facts and sources
The violet-crowned hummingbird visits flowers in canyons, scrub and gardens, often choosing shaded valleys. It eats nectar and small insects.
It can follow remembered flowers rather than stay at one nectar source. If the largest local hummingbird, it may nevertheless defend one feeding site. Females build plant-down and spider-silk nests and raise chicks alone.
