"Steely Vented Hummingbird," Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The steely-vented hummingbird is essentially sedentary but might make local movements in response to availability of flowering plants. Little is known about the steely-vented hummingbird's feeding practices or diet. It is known to forage for nectar at low bushes and trees and is thought to be somewhat territorial. The steely-vented hummingbird apparently breeds at any time of the year in Colombia. Essentailly nothing else is known about the species' breeding phenology. One nest was described as a simple cup "saddled" on a limb of an isolated tree about 8 m (26 ft) above the ground. The eggs, incubation period, and time to fledging have not been described. |
