Hummingbirds are one of the smallest birds on earth. They eat a nectar of sugar and water when fed by humans. Their heart rate is typically 50 to 180 beats although it can be as fast 1260 beats. The wings beat at a rate of 10 to 15 beats a second.
That will depend upon the particular species of hummingbird. North American hummingbirds are said to beat their wings around 53 times per second during normal flight. A straight conversion to per minute or per hour would be about 3180 beats per minute or 190800 beats per hour. It is unknown if they can maintain it for that long. Larger hummingbirds generally have fewer beats per second and smaller ones have more.
