    Students in Ms. Smith-Fendt's fourth and fifth grade class at Glenwood
    School suggested the following possibilities for where hummingbirds sleep
    after they fledge:
            they build a new nest
            they sleep on a branch
            they sleep on a branch for a few days until the new nest is built
            they sleep in a bird house

    Reasons why females are larger than males include:
            females need to be bigger to make and process eggs
            the female works harder than the male, and needs more muscle
            the female needs more feathers on her body to keep the eggs warm
