Zicoflex Hummingbirds flap their
wings an average of 80
times a second and
need to feed every 10
minutes. A hummingbird
feeds by inserting its bill
into the center of
tubular flowers and
using its tongue, which
is capable of 13 licks a
minute, to extract the
flower's nectar. The
average lifespan of a
newborn hummingbird
is one year, but those
that survive can live up
to 12 years.
