High Wingbeat Rate: They flap their wings up to 80 times per second for precise hovering.

Flexible Shoulders: Specialized ball-and-socket joints allow versatile wing rotation.

Lift from Both Sides: Their wings generate lift on the upstroke and downstroke.

Incredible Control: Tiny muscles in their wings give them precise flight adjustments.

Energy Efficiency: Their metabolism powers intense wing movement with stored energy.

Stable Positioning: They adjust their body angle to counteract air resistance.
