Hummingbirds are the tiniest birds in the world.

Hummingbirds are the only birds able to fly backwards.

A hummingbird's heart can beat up to 22 times per second.

A hummingbird's wings beat about 70 times per second.

Hummingbirds do not suck nectar through their bills, they use their tongues. They can lick 10-15 times per second while feeding.

Hummingbirds are very smart and have an excellent memory.

It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.

Just try it. I know you want to!

Americans eat an average of 18 acres of pizza every day.

Remains of cheese have been found in Egyptian tombs over 4000 years old.

Happy New Year everybody!
