Tiny Marvels: Why did the hummingbird apply for a helicopter pilot's license?

Because it's already a pro at hovering and flying backward! These diminutive aviators, weighing between 2 to 20 grams—less than a penny—are the only birds capable of sustained hovering and backward flight. Their unique wing structure allows them to rotate their wings in a figure-eight pattern, generating lift on both the forward and backward strokes. scienceworld.ca

This remarkable wing movement enables them to hover effortlessly while sipping nectar and to dart backward with ease. For more fascinating facts delivered daily, be sure to follow Trivia Tidbits!
