What does blue throated hummingbird eat?

Like all hummingbirds, a Blue-throated Hummingbird's diet is made up of two main parts - nectar, and small flying insects. Hummingbirds will also drink sugar water, which is basically the same as nectar. Hummingbirds have also been occasionally observed drinking from supsucker "wells", the holes that they bore into trees to drink the sap, and are kept from closing over by a certain enzyme in their saliva. Some people think it is odd that hummingbirds eat insects, but a diet of nectar and sugar water is similar to a diet of candy. Without any nutrients whatsoever, hummingbirds will suffer from bone disease, failing organs, and bad feathers.
