Animals fact

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards.

The details

Hummingbirds rotate their wings in a figure-eight pattern, which lets them hover in place and fly backwards, a skill no other bird group has for sustained flight. Their hearts can beat more than 1,000 times a minute during flight.
