Hummingbirds achieve incredible agility due to their unique wing structure, enabling them to hover, fly backward, and change direction swiftly.
The Secret of Speed
Hummingbirds beat their wings up to 80 times per second, allowing them to reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour during flight.
Fuel for Flight
Hummingbirds have high metabolisms and must consume half their body weight in nectar daily to sustain their energy for their rapid flight.
