Questions

Can I use these hummingbird sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these hummingbird sounds?

Only for every clip on this page, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Costa's Hummingbird, Zachary Dankowicz, CC BY 4.0", "Anna's Hummingbird, Isabella Hackett, CC BY 4.0" and "Allen's Hummingbird, Roberto Daniel Avila, CC BY 4.0".

Do all hummingbirds sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has six of them: Costa's Hummingbird, Anna's Hummingbird, Allen's Hummingbird, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Rufous Hummingbird and Broad-tailed Hummingbird. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
