Most hummingbirds flap their wings about 50 or so times a second (3,000 per minute). This means all we can see is a blur. A Hummingbird flaps it's wings 50 to 200 times per second.
1. FLIGHT. Hummingbirds can fly right, left, up, down, backwards, even upside down. While other birds get their flight power from the downstroke only, hummingbirds have strength on the up-stroke, as well. A hummingbird's wing is flexible at the shoulder, but inflexible at the wrist. When hovering, hummingbirds hold their bodies upright and flap their wings horizontally in a shallow figure-8.
