Is a Hummingbird a Consumer
Permalink   
 


Is a Hummingbird a Consumer? Yes, a hummingbird is a consumer in the food chain. In ecological terms, a consumer is any organism that relies on other organisms for food. Hummingbirds are considered primary consumers because they primarily feed on nectar from flowers. Nectar provides them with the sugar and energy they need for their high metabolism and constant movement.
