The hummingbird is much more comfortable in flight. The flight of hummingbirds is amazing to watch. They are able to fly up, down, forward, backward and sideways. They can stop in midair. Hummingbirds are famous for their aerial display.
Hummingbirds fly great distances when they are migrating.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird migrates approximately 600 miles across the Gulf of Mexico. Hummingbirds lack a true song. Instead, they vocalize chirping notes. Most calls are short buzz trills and chirps. Hummingbirds' wings 'buzz' or make a whirring sound while the birds are in flight.
