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.
The Giant Hummingbird beats itâs wings about 15 times per second: Giant hummingbird. Most other species seem to normally be in the 90 beats per second range. Iâve found a couple of references to the Ruby-throated Hummingbird being able to beat itâs wings up to 200 times per second during courtship but I havenât found a good citation for that.
