No they don't . Male humming birds atract females by showing off their shiny featres .

No The wings are going so fast so I think thats where the "hum" is coming from

Yes they do. This essay is a bit technical, but it does prove that they can and do sing.

only humans can sing, birds can only hum, which is equal to singing. Only Parrots can sing, if they are made to learn.

Yes

Not really, neither do they vocalize a hum.
What humming you here comes from the rapid beating of the wings. Some species wings make a cricket-like twill (Broadtailed Hummingbird).
Other sounds are chips and thisks, sometimes in rapid succession -- depending on how angry they are with other hummers invading their territory.
No actual "song".

They have a "song" , it's more like a series of chirps and squeaky sounds but technically that still counts as a song. Here's there recording of a ruby-throated hummingbird from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

every species makes it's own distinctive sound as well as the humming sound which comes from the wings you can listen to other species if you go through their profile here http://www.birds.cornell.edu/allaboutbir...

I wouldn't call it singing, but they do chirp, squawk and scold.

We have one hummingbird that thinks our feeder is her private property. She will perch on nearby limb and scold/chase away any other hummers that come near the feeder. It is very comical, especially when 2 or more others are trying to get to her feeder.

only if they know the words, otherwise they.. humm..

I suspect it would be like a marathon runner trying to sing at the same time. lol

Techincally they do not sing...but they do vocalize. They have a few different sounds that they make depending on what they want to communicate. Usually they make a sort of twittering sound, but when the male displays to the female he will make this very high pitched "beep".
