Hours away from starving

From Wikipedia:

With the exception of insects, hummingbirds while in flight have the highest metabolism of all animals…their heart rate can reach as high as 1,260 beats per minute…

…

They also typically consume more than their own weight in nectar each day, and to do so they must visit hundreds of flowers daily. At any given moment, they are only hours away from starving.
