At three to five inches, Hummingbirds rank among the smallest birds. You don't need to see them to know that they are near. Hummingbirds received their name from the hum made by their rapidly beating wings. Depending on the species, they can flap their wings from 12 to 90 beats per second and can actually hover in the air like helicopters!
