Yes they do drink natural flower nectar, mainly from flowers that have co-evolved to provide them with the kind of sugar and amounts of nectar they prefer in exchange for pollination services. Hummingbird nectar flowers are usually red, orange, or bright pink, shaped like a tube or Trumpet, and produce nectar that is weaker then that of insect-pollinated flowers and contains a high proportion of sucrose (the same as white table sugar).
