The behavior that can end up being more harmful than helpful is the last one: "Hummingbirds drink the nectar of flowers, and they will defend their territory in order to secure their food supply."
While hummingbirds do help in pollination, their aggressive territorial behavior can limit access to flowers for other pollinators, potentially reducing overall plant reproduction if they drive away beneficial insects or other bird species that also contribute to pollination.
