Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are exceptionally small birds belonging to the family Trochilidae, primarily found in the Americas. They are famous for their ability to hover in mid-air, their rapid wing beats (up to 80 times per second), and their nectar-feeding habits. Hummingbirds typically have long, slender beaks adapted for reaching deep into flowers to feed on nectar, making them important pollinators. In addition to nectar, they also consume small insects and spiders for protein. Hummingbirds have extremely high metabolisms and need to feed constantly. They are the only birds capable of flying backward.
