Feeding Habits
Oasis Hummingbird primarily consume nectar, using their specialized bills, and supplement their diet with small invertebrates, reflecting their adaptation to diverse food sources. They exhibit territorial foraging behaviors, with males claiming areas during breeding seasons.
Habitat
Oasis Hummingbird are predominantly found in arid to semi-arid environments such as desert oases, urban expanses, scrublands, and dry coastal areas lined with fog vegetation. This species is native to the arid Pacific coastlands of South America where it frequents various ecosystems, from riparian thickets to cultivated lands and gardens. Oasis Hummingbird show no clear migratory behaviors but are capable of long-distance dispersal, which is evident from their occasional colonization of new oases. They appear to have a fairly stationary lifestyle with size variations observed across their range.
