  • Flight Mechanics: Hummingbirds can rotate their wings in a full circle, allowing them to hover and move backward, which is critical for feeding from flowers.
  • Size: They are small birds (typically 3 to 5 inches long) and known for their rapid wing beats (up to 80 beats per second).
  • Habitat: Found primarily in North and South America.
