Which bird can fly in reverse?
The Hummingbird has this aeronautical ability .Hummingbirds are the only kind of bird able to fly backwards. They move their wings in a circular motion to get the movement effect of flying backwards, up, down, sideways, or eve sit in sheer space. Hummingbirds can "figure-eight" their wings to hover. They can even fly short distances upside down, a trick they use to confuse other birds there to attack them. For this reason, hummingbirds are also known as 'King of fliers'.However, other birds have been observed flutteringbackwards. This is the case with some warblers when they feed. Waterbirds such as herons and egrets have been observed fluttering backwards when they are engaged in territorial disputes and the dominant bird gains the upper hand. This is only short-term, unlike the sustained backwards flight of the hummingbird. Birds such as kestrels and terns, which hover by flying into strong winds, actually fly backwards in relation to the ground, but forwards against the wind which is pushing against them. The Roller pigeon can turn somersaults in mid-air as it catches insects in mid-flight.

How is a humming bird like a helicopter?
Well, isn't that just a happy little comparison! A hummingbird is like a helicopter because they both have the ability to hover in one spot. Just like a helicopter's rotor blades, a hummingbird's wings move in a circular motion to keep them suspended in the air. It's nature's way of showing us that even the smallest creatures can be mighty and impressive.
Does one hummingbird stay near feeder longer to keep others away so they will fly south?
No. But humming birds have to eat every few minutes or they will get tired and can't fly.
How do hummingbirds defend itself?
By fleeing. Hummingbirds are such small creatures that they cannot defend themselves very well, so their defense is their wings. They are the only birds that can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, AND hover.
