Their primary niche in its environment is to pollinate flowers by transporting

Impact Hummingbirds have on Environment
Impact in case of extinction
Hummingbirds effect plants and animals by pollinating flowers and serving as prey to other animals.
*Some species of flowers could go extinct due to lack of pollination and reproduction
*Predators would lose a food source
