Read the paragraph.
There are more than 300 types of hummingbird. Some of them are really tiny. The bee hummingbird weighs only 2 grams, the same as a paper clip. Hummingbirds fly so fast that other birds cannot catch them. They hover over flowers and collect nectar with their long, slender bills. They are the only bird which can fly backwards. Humming birds love to splash in water and take several baths a day.
