The Only Bird That Can Fly Backward 🐦 Hummingbirds

Most birds can fly forward—but hummingbirds can also fly backward. Their unique wing movement allows them to hover almost perfectly in place and maneuver in several directions, including backward flight. In this short documentary, we look at the unusual flight mechanics that make the hummingbird one of nature's most remarkable flyers.
