Yes humming birds that live north or south of the equator do migrate. They graually migrate south or north as the seasons change.
I hope this helps

Yes. This is why it is critical if you have a hummingbird feeder to only keep it out when they are supposed to be in your area. If you keep it out longer they may not migrate on time and this could lead to problems (freezing to death).

Yes! They live on nectar, and some small bugs so in the colder climates when winter comes they have to migrate to their food source. The ones in the United States head for Mexico.

No. They do have to follow the flowers though. They need to eat so often they can not afford to migrate.

They have to. Here in Idaho, we see them in the summer months only, they cannot stay during the winter, too cold.

Yes they do. As strange as it may seem they often hitch rides on the back of geese.
