how fast does a hummingbird fly

Hummingbirds typically fly at speeds of about 20 to 30 miles per hour during normal flight. However, during courtship displays, male hummingbirds can reach diving speeds of up to 55 to 60 miles per hour. The Anna's hummingbird, noted for being one of the fastest relative to its size, can even reach dive speeds around 60 mph and experience extreme accelerations in these dives. Their wing beats are incredibly rapid, ranging from about 50 to 80 beats per second, enabling their agile and high-speed flight.
