Hummingbirds have a unique wing structure that allows them to rotate their wings in a full circle, enabling a distinctive figure-eight motion. This capability grants them remarkable agility, allowing them to hover in place, fly backward, and change direction swiftly. They can flap their wings at an astonishing rate, often between 50 to 80 beats per second, depending on the species. This rapid wing movement is essential for their energy-intensive lifestyle, especially while feeding on nectar from flowers.
