A hummingbird can flap its wings up to 80 times per second.
A hummingbird can flap its wings incredibly fast, typically between 10-80 times per second depending on the species and the purpose of the flight. For example, when hovering, some species can flap their wings up to 80 times per second, while during normal flight, they may flap their wings around 10-15 times per second. This rapid wing movement allows them to hover in place and maneuver with great agility in the air.
