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.
As calculated by displacement of body size, the rufous hummingbird makes perhaps the longest migratory journey of any bird in the world. At just over 3 in long, rufous birds travel 3,900-miles one-way from Alaska to Mexico in late summer, a distance equal to 78,470,000 body lengths.
