Read:
This is because the wings are adapted to make 8-shaped movements. Some species flap their wings 28 times in a single second! They can spin, fly backwards, make fast turns and even stop in midair. Because they are so fast, they expend a lot of energy and need to eat a lot. These birds feed on nectar from flowers and insects, some eating up to 10 times their body weight per day – as if a 40 kg child ate 400 kg of food in a single day!
