Tumbes Hummingbird is primarily nectarivorous, although there is little information on the flowering plants visited by this hummingbird. Schulenberg and Parker (1981) observed this species feeding "at large red Erythrina blossoms and a red-flowering epiphyte (Psittacanthus)". Weller (1991) reports that it also feeds at Cactaceae. Additionally, Tumbes Hummingbird consumes small insects, as do most if not all species of hummingbirds (Remsen et al. 1986).
