This is an Allen's Hummingbird which normally breeds on the West coast of the United States and Mexico, although the bird has been spotted in other areas of the southern United States.

❓When did the mother hummingbird laid her eggs?
The first egg of her first clutch was laid on February 5 and the second on February 8.

❓How long do hummingbirds incubate their eggs?
Hummingbirds incubate the eggs for 15 to 18 days.

❓How many clutches do hummingbirds have?

❓When do baby hummingbirds open their eyes?
It usually takes more than a week for a baby’s eyes to open. On average, a newborn’s eyes are open 9 days after he has hatched.

❓What is the nest made from?
The nest is made from grasses and small twigs filled in with soft and fluffy fiber that the mother hummingbird finds on fuzzy plants like seed pods, dandelion down, cottonwood and the like. The nest is held together with spider silk and is soft and spongy to accommodate the rapidly increasing size of the baby birds. To camouflage the nest she put paint chips on the outside to try to blend in with the house.

❓How can I help with the nest building?
