Did you know the that hummingbirds below to a family species called Trochilidae. Hummingbirds are tiny, about the size of an X-Box controller. The tiniest hummingbird weighs less than a penny.
They are called hummingbirds because when their wings flap they make a humming noise. They can hover, fly backwards, fly upside down and go as fast as 34 mph. Their wings beat 50 to 200 times per second (how many times can you flap your arms in a second?). That is a lot of work! When they don't have enough food, they can hibernate.
