On average a humming bird nest will only be 1 1/2

and made out of plant material that's held together with spider webs. Bits of
lichen can be found on the outside for camouflage and the inside will be lined
with plant down.

elements. The mother must be certain to choose a place where temperatures will
stay below 96 degrees F, or the embryos will be fried.
