The Hummingbird is the smallest bird known to us, but has the largest brain of all the birds. Thats pretty ironic too me. They have no sense of smell and is the only bird that has rotating wings. That means they can fly forward, backwards, up and down. The Hummingbird can fly up to 60 miles a hour, but average between 20 and 30 miles a hour. They have very weak legs though so they only use them when they are perching. Hummingbirds only live in North and South America. Another cool fact about them is that their heart rate can reach up to 1,260 beats a minute. Heres a video below.
