PASSAGE
The tiny hummingbird is one of nature's most remarkable flying machines. Despite weighing less than a penny, these birds can hover motionless in mid-air, fly backwards, and even perform aerial somersaults. Their wings beat up to 80 times per second, creating the characteristic humming sound that gives them their name. To fuel this incredible energy output, hummingbirds must consume nectar from hundreds of flowers each day, visiting up to 2,000 blossoms. Their long, thin beaks and specialized tongues allow them to reach deep into flowers, making them essential pollinators for many plant species.
What would be the most fitting title for this passage?
