The Hummingbird - Nature's High-Speed Marvel
The hummingbird is the smallest bird on Earth and also the only bird that can fly backwards. With a wingspan of only 4cm and a heartbeat of up to 1,260 beats per minute, they can hover, fly in any direction and reach speeds of up to 34 mph. They have a very high metabolism, and in order to survive, they need to consume twice their body weight in nectar and insects every day. Despite their small size, they are fierce and territorial and have been known to chase away much larger birds. They are also key pollinators and are attracted to brightly colored flowers, particularly those with a trumpet shape that accommodates their long beak. With their agility and speed, the hummingbird is truly a wonder of the natural world.
