God put a lot of power in these little birds that weigh only 2-3 grams. They fly up, down, backwards and hover. They flap their wings 50-60 times a second or more. Their heart beats 1,260 times per minute. It breathes 250 times per minute. When it gets cold they fly 2-4 thousand miles to find a warm climate and return to the same feeder the next spring. The male ruby-throated hummingbird starts the whole family process and the female does EVERYTHING from that point on. She builds the nest, lays the eggs, feeds the chicks and teaches them to fly and feed themselves. Not bad for only 2-3 grams!
