How many seconds does a hummingbird beat its wings per second?
70
Background
A hummingbird beats its wings about 70 times per second. During courtship, it can even reach 200 beats. Its wings trace a figure-eight shape in the air. That is why it is the only bird that can fly backwards and hover in place.
