Behavior
Introduction
There is little information on the behavior of Oasis Hummingbird. This species forages and perches at all heights, from low to high (Parker et al. 1996), and often perches on a high exposed perch (Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990).

There is no information on territoriality or home range size in Oasis Hummingbird.
Sexual Behavior
Little information. Oasis Hummingbird presumably is polygynous, as are most if not all species of hummingbirds (Schuchmann 1999: 509). The male performs a U-shaped courtship flight before the female (Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990).
