Hungriest birds in the world
Hummingbirds aggressively defend flowers and feeders and are particularly aggressive during mating season. They will attack many other birds, all of which are likely larger, plus animals and even humans. National Geographic claims hummingbirds are the hungriest birds in the world. There are other birds, animals and even insects, that pose a threat to hummingbirds. One of the creatures that hummingbirds are particularly wary of is hornets, such as the Bald-faced Hornets pictured below. Any hornet, wasp or bee will make a hummingbird abandon a nectar feeder.
