Birds that attack other birds in flight such as some falcons, gulls, skuas and frigate birds all fly upside down at some stage. It is easier to attack a flying bird from underneath and if you are using your feet , you need to be upside down.

None that do it as a form of flying. Many birds can fly upside down. A good example is the American woodcock. When spooked they fly upside for some distance. When mating they do the same.

It is common to see redtailed hawks in aerial combat flipping over and over. Many birds could fly upside down, they just simply don't.

I have personaly witnessed Bald Eagles flying upside down as part of what appeared to be a courtship ritual,ravens often roll and loop and perform a wide variety of arial acrobatics,I have seen this happen frequently in the spring when the juveniles are out and on the wing,it appears that they do it for the fun of it as it seems to have no practical purpose.

Hummingbirds are capable of upside down flight as well as flying backwards. Its not their normal way of flying, but they can do it. They are able to manuever like this due to the way their wings move, in a figure eight.
