Question

Humming birds, how fast do thier wings beat?

Answer 1

The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest bird in the world, weighing 1.8 grams (0.06 ounces) and measuring about 5 cm (2 inches). A typical North American hummingbird, such as the Rufous Hummingbird, weighs approximately 3 g (0.106 ounces) and has a length of 10–12 cm (3.5–4 inches). The largest hummingbird is the Giant Hummingbird, with some weighing as much as 24 grams (0.85 ounces) and measuring 21.5 cm (8.5 inches).

They are known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 15–80 times per second (depending on the species).

Answer 2

Their wings beat 70-80 times per second allowing them to fly forward, backwards or hover in mid-air...they can dive at speeds of 60 miles per hour
