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.
A hummingbird flies very differently from other birds, who tend to use their wings to flap or soar. A hummingbird, however, flies by moving its wings in a figure-8 type shape, allowing it to move up, down, side to side, and even backward! Hummingbirds also flap their wings famously fast â enough that they even sometimes buzz! Hummingbirds flap their wings quickly because it helps them to hover, which lets them move from flower to flower and eat up all the delicious nectar they need !
