Hummingbird nests are typically built and cared for solely by the female hummingbird. She constructs a small, cup-shaped nest using materials like twigs, plant fibers, and spider silk. The female incubates the eggs, usually two, and raises the young hummingbirds until they fledge.
Nest Construction:
The female hummingbird builds the nest, often in a tree or shrub, using a variety of materials. She incorporates spider silk to bind the nest together and anchor it to the branch.
Incubation and Care:
The female incubates the eggs, which are about the size of navy beans, for 15 to 18 days. She then raises the young, feeding them until they fledge (leave the nest) 18 to 28 days after hatching.
