The main features to look at include size, coloration, and markings on their plumage. Additionally, species-specific characteristics such as tail shape and bill length can help differentiate between different hummingbird species. Observing their behavior and range can also be useful in identifying hummingbirds.
Yes, many birds can swim. How do they do this without messing up their wings/feathers? it's because in a gland near the bird's tail is some oil, when a bird preens he spreads the waterproof oil all over his feathers to keep the bird from drowning. (preening is when a bird straightens out his/her feathers to keep them intact with his/her beak.)
The number of feathers a bird has depends very much on its size and where and how it lives, in general a third of a birds feathers are on its head. The bird with the least feathers is the Ruby Hummingbird Archilochus colubris with only 940 feathers in total. The bird with the most feathers is the Whistling Swan Cygnus columbianus which can have as many as 25,000 during winter. More than 8 billion broilers are produced in the United States annually, yielding approximately 3 billion pounds of waste chicken feathers.
