Question

What Is The Only Bird That Can Fly Backwards?

Answer 1

The Hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards. All other birds use the down stroke to power their flight.

Hummingbirds can fly up and down, left and right, backwards, and unusually - even upside down - all due to their unique upstroke strength.

A hummingbird can rotate each of its wings in a circle, allowing them to be the only bird which can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways or sit in sheer space. To hover, hummingbirds move their wings forward and backward in a repeated figure eight, much like the arms of a swimmer treading water. Hummingbirds can move instantaneously in any direction, start from its perch at full speed, and doesn't necessarily slow up to land. Hummingbirds can even fly short distances upside down, a trick rollover they employ when being attacked by another bird.
