Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward. Their unique wing structure allows this impressive maneuver.
They can beat their wings up to 80 times per second, creating their signature humming sound.
A hummingbird's heart rate can reach up to 1,200 beats per minute during flight.
They consume up to double their body weight in nectar each day to fuel their high metabolism.
These birds have excellent memories, which help them locate the flowers they've visited before.
Hummingbirds have a rapid metabolism and need to eat every 10-15 minutes to sustain their energy.
They can hover in mid-air thanks to their ability to rotate their wings 180 degrees in all directions.
