Hummingbirds are best known for their incredible flying abilities, including rapid wing flapping that allows them to hover in place and fly in all directions, including backward. They are also recognized for their vibrant plumage and small size, making them some of the tiniest birds in the world. Additionally, they play a crucial role in pollination as they feed on nectar from flowers. Their unique metabolism enables them to consume large amounts of food relative to their body weight, primarily relying on sugar-rich nectar.
