EAGLE EYE FACTOMETER : NAME THE ONLY BIRD THAT CAN FLY BACKWARDS



Hummingbirds
  • A Hummingbird is the only bird known that can fly backwards.
  • Hummingbirds can see farther than humans, can hear better than humans, but have no sense of smell.
  • A hummingbird will feed at an average of 1,000 flowers in a day.  They can remember the flowers they have been to and how long it will take the flower to refill.
  • The bright radiant color on hummingbirds comes from iridescent coloring like on a soap bubble or prism.
  • The average hummingbird weights less than a penny.  They are the tiniest birds in the world.
