Answer 8

Actually hummingbirds are unique in that they must go into a short type of hibernation called "torpor" because of their high metabolism so they do not starve overnight.   Also, most birds do NOT sleep in nests. If it happens to be the breeding season and they do have a nest, they will sleep in it..but nests are only made as a nursery for chicks..not as a bed or a house to live in.  Most birds find a scrub, or tree with lots of foiliage to protect them from wind and weather and will sleep the night there.  Others will sleep in man-made objects: eaves of house, bridges, barns, etc.
