Do hummingbirds lay eggs in trees?

Yes, hummingbirds do lay their eggs in trees, but they typically choose to build their nests in shrubs or small branches rather than in tall trees. These nests are often camouflaged and constructed using plant material, spider silk, and other natural elements to protect the eggs from predators. The female hummingbird is solely responsible for nest building and caring for the eggs until they hatch.
