The Anna’s Hummingbird lives in a variety of habitats, such as forests, woodlands, gardens, and parks. It is a common and conspicuous bird, especially in urban and suburban areas, where it feeds on ornamental flowers and hummingbird feeders. It also eats insects and spiders, which it catches in the air or picks from the vegetation. It has a loud and harsh voice, and can produce a variety of sounds, including imitations of other birds, animals, and human noises. It has a distinctive chuckling call note, and a song that resembles a robin’s but is clearer and less nasal.

The Anna’s Hummingbird breeds from December to June, depending on the location. It is one of the earliest breeding birds in North America, and can start nesting as early as November in some areas. It builds a cup-shaped nest of plant fibers, spider webs, and lichen, usually in a shrub or a tree. The female lays two white eggs, which she incubates for about 16 days. The male does not help with the nest or the young, but may mate with several females. The chicks are fed by the female for about 21 days, until they are ready to leave the nest.

The Anna’s Hummingbird is a resident bird that does not migrate. It can tolerate cold temperatures, and can enter a state of torpor at night to conserve energy. It is not threatened by extinction, and has a large and stable population. However, it may face some threats from habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation, as well as from predators, parasites, and diseases. Therefore, it is important to protect and conserve its natural environment, and to appreciate its beauty and role in the ecosystem.
