A rate of 1260 beats per minute was measured in a Blue-throated Hummingbird. In torpid hummingbirds, the heart rate can drop to 50-180 per minute.
Hummingbirds can fly right, left, up, down, backwards, even upside down. While other birds get their flight power from the downstroke only, hummingbirds have strength on the up-stroke, as well.
A hummingbird's wing is flexible at the shoulder, but inflexible at the wrist.
When hovering, hummingbirds hold their bodies upright and flap their wings horizontally in a shallow figure-8. As the wings swing back they tilt flat for a moment before the wings are drawn
Most hummingbirds flap their wings about 50 or so times a second. This means all we can see is a blur. The Magnificent Hummingbird is an exception; sometimes it flaps it wings slow enough for individual wing beats to be perceived.
MY HUSBAND AND KIDS. THE DAY I GOT MARRIED AND THE DAY I HAD MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. THEY MAKE MY WORLD SO BEAUTIFUL AND I FEEL LIKE A HUMMINGBIRD SOMETIMES. LOVELY.

I was aware of this fact, though I didn't know the exact figure. My hearts beats more than that because of my love for the girl in picture.
